EarthQuaker Devices Fuzz Master General Pedal

The Fuzz Master General is EarthQuaker Devices modern reimagining of the vintage Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2, delivering all the chaotic octave fuzz tones of the originalwith vastly expanded versatility for todays players.

At its core, its a ferocious fuzz machine capable of everything from vintage Super Fuzz textures to nearly clean octave-up tones bordering on ring modulation. A three-way Voice toggle lets you shape the clipping style: warm and loose Germanium, tight and compressed Silicon, or Open for raw transistor drive. Pair that with an enhanced Fuzz control and a wide-range Tone knob, and youve got fuzz tones from treble-sharp to bass-heavy blastsall with improved output and reduced noise.

Whether youre chasing searing leads, destructive chords, or analog octave madness, the Fuzz Master General commands the battlefield.
