Electro-Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz Op-Amp Powered Fuzz/Distortion Effects Pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz is an extremely versatile, classic op-amp powered fuzz/distortion. At lower drive settings, it remains fairly clean and adds a pleasing mild distortion. As the drive is turned up, it transports you to a world of arena rock and produces spectacular, thick, meaty tones. The stellar sound of the Flatiron Fuzz is a result of its circa late '70s, classic-style circuitry and the fact that it delivers symmetrical hard clipping. As a point of reference, you might refer to the old Rat pedal, but we think you’ll prefer the Flatiron.The Flatiron Fuzz features three controls: Volume, Drive and Filter. Volume sets the output level while Drive adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion. The unique Filter control is actually a low pass filter with a movable cut-off frequency. This is especially cool because it lets you dial in just the right amount of high-end, from dark to raunchy. Electro-Harmonix trivia: The Flatiron Fuzz is named after the historic Flatiron Building in New York City. It’s an iconic landmark located just down the block from EHX headquarters in the 1970s and it’s the building pictured on the pedal.
