Description
The Myth, the Destroyer, the Apocalypse.
The Massif
New for 2021 Now in a Metallic Finish
The Massif is a 1 Knob Savage Fuzz Device. It has one purpose, to level everything in its path. This is our take on the Colorsound 1 Knob Fuzz, there are many like them, but none like the Massif. Designed after lusting for the Slomatics/Conan/Bongripper tone this pedal is very mid focused with a distortion like Fuzz quality, very smooth and articulate but with punishing lows and an aggressive tone.
Though being one knob it has a bunch of tones just in that knob depending on where it’s set, so don’t think it just has one sound to it.
*** some buffer’s (like in Boss pedals) can make the pedal brighter or react a little different than without, has the build ethos of a 70’s fuzz ***
Controls:
Volume – Beats you in the face kinda tone
(the FHM uses NOS BC109)
Handmade in Texas.
