Description

We Rethought Everything, Except the Sound.

Inspired by the 1969 Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, Earwig shoehorns a giant variety of iconic fuzz sounds into the smallest effects pedal ever created. Roaring distortion, pulverizing crunch, and syrupy sustain—all in a comically small footprint.

Ridiculous Is Kind of Our Thing.

Earwig gives you beautifully ferocious fuzz tones and luscious sustain in a package that’s nearly as small as a 9-volt battery. Yes, we’re aware that a fuzz pedal this tiny is a bit ridiculous. But by challenging our notions of what an effects pedal has to be, a new world of possibilities opened up that we never expected. Turns out, making it small also makes it pretty awesome.

Controls:

  • Level - Left for quiet, right for loud, but you already knew this. Acts like an overall volume control for the entire pedal, so you’re kind of in charge here.
  • Tone - Shapes the contour of the distorted tone. Left is darker, mellower, and moodier, with more bass and less treble. Right is brighter with more sparkle and high end. Choose your own adventure.
  • Sustain - Controls the amount of distortion and sustain. Left for less, right for more. Lefty loosey, righty tighty.
  • On LED - LED is illuminated red when the pedal is on. LED may also illuminate in the middle of the night if Earwig is feeling lonely. Your pedal may occasionally require cuddles.
  • On/Off Switch - Where’s the footswitch? How the heck do I turn this thing on? With Earwig, the whole pedal is the switch. It’s hinged at the top. Press below the knobs to turn it on. Press again to turn it off. Press it again if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Ins/Outs - Earwig features one TRRS jack combining input, output, and power. Earwig comes with a breakout cable for your connections. Blue is INPUT, red is OUTPUT, and black is POWER.
