Description

High gain fuzz ring mod textures in a rugged enclosure.

The sounds of fuzz have left an indelible mark on the history of rock guitar. Yet despite its undeniable influence, the definition of what constitutes a "great" fuzz tone has remained strongly subjective and almost eternally elusive - Until now.

Introducing the Maxon Fuzz Elements - seven models designed to reproduce the classic and unique sounds of the World's most desirable vintage Fuzz pedals.

Using modern software technology, Maxon has modeled and mapped the complex elements that make up the core sounds of these legendary pedals, reproducing them using advanced analog circuitry that is as accurate as it is stable.

The Maxon Fuzz Elements Air accurately recreates the classic octave fuzz sounds of the Univox Super Fuzz. Two distinct fuzz sounds are available via the Fat/Scoop switch which drastically changes the EQ.
