Earthquaker Devices Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar Pedal

Take your guitar playing to new heights with the Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar Pedal, a product meticulously crafted in collaboration with the renowned guitar virtuoso, Wata, from the iconic band, Boris. This pedal is not just a piece of equipment, but a faithful sonic reproduction of Wata's preferred distortion, the legendary Elk BM Sustainar, known for its distinctive tone and character.

The Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar Pedal offers a plethora of features that allow you to control and customize your sound. The Volume control, with unity at around 9-10 o'clock, lets you adjust the output volume to suit your needs. The Sustain control allows for more distortion and sustain when turned clockwise and less when turned counterclockwise, offering a wide range of saturation that can significantly impact the overall tone.

The Tone control of this pedal is a game-changer, boosting bass frequencies when turned clockwise and enhancing highs when turned counterclockwise. This unique feature can drastically alter the character of the distortion, in conjunction with the Sustain setting, providing a versatile range from piercing highs to an aggressive mid-range grind. As you turn the Tone control clockwise, the mids become less present, the highs are tamed, and a thunderous low-end emerges.

The Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar Pedal is designed to deliver heavy distortion and smooth sustain, with an underlying grit that gives the impression of speakers on the brink of tearing apart. Despite its aggressive sound, it maintains an impressive clarity, responding excellently to different pickup types and playing dynamics. Power chords sound massive and heavy, open chords are dynamic with excellent note separation, and single-note leads are smooth and powerful, particularly when using the neck pickup.

This pedal uses relay-based true bypass switching and requires a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. For optimal performance and to minimize noise, we recommend using pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies.

Experience the power and versatility of the Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar Pedal, a tool that brings the legendary tone of Wata to your fingertips. Please note, this pedal has an abundance of output gain, so handle with care. Unity is around 9-10 o'clock, and anything above that is set to destroy. Do not run at higher voltages!
