Product Description
The Electro Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz is a compact, op amp driven fuzz and distortion pedal that delivers everything from gritty edge to full on arena rock saturation. Inspired by the legendary RAT2 circuit and refined by EHX, it offers symmetrical hard clipping, a powerful Filter control and a wide gain range, making it a superb all round dirt box for rock, punk, indie and beyond.
At lower Drive settings, the Flatiron Fuzz behaves like a responsive overdrive, adding a touch of hair and harmonic richness while keeping your core tone intact. Push the Drive higher and it morphs into a thick, aggressive fuzz and distortion machine, ideal for huge riffs, searing leads and classic late 70s and 80s style rock tones. Throughout the range it remains articulate and musical, responding well to your picking dynamics and guitar volume control.
The secret to its sound lies in the classic late 70s style analogue circuitry and symmetrical hard clipping, which gives the Flatiron its tight, focused attack and satisfying crunch. It cleans up as you roll back your guitar volume, but never goes completely pristine, so you always retain a bit of attitude and presence in your sound. This makes it perfect for players who like to ride the guitar controls and shape their gain on the fly.
Despite its tonal firepower, the Flatiron Fuzz is simple to dial in. Volume sets your overall output, Drive controls the amount of distortion and sustain, while the Filter knob acts as a low pass filter that lets you sweep from dark and smooth to bright and raunchy. Housed in a compact, pedalboard friendly enclosure with true bypass switching and the option of battery or power supply operation, it is a practical, gig ready tool for any guitarist looking for a versatile, classic voiced fuzz and distortion.
Classic Late 70s Style Circuitry
The Flatiron Fuzz is built around a classic, late 70s style op amp circuit that delivers the tight, punchy response associated with that era of distortion pedals. This gives you a familiar, record ready sound that sits easily in a mix, whether you are playing chunky rhythm parts or cutting lead lines.
Symmetrical Hard Clipping
By using symmetrical hard clipping, the Flatiron Fuzz produces a balanced, harmonically rich distortion with plenty of bite and sustain. The result is a focused, muscular tone that works brilliantly for rock and punk styles, with enough clarity to keep chords defined even at higher gain settings.
Powerful Filter Control
The Filter knob functions as a low pass filter with a movable cut off frequency, allowing you to fine tune the high end from dark and smooth to sharp and aggressive. This makes it easy to match the pedal to different guitars and amps, or to carve out a specific tonal character for rhythm and lead work.
Pedalboard Friendly with True Bypass
With its compact footprint and true bypass switching, the Flatiron Fuzz integrates seamlessly into any pedalboard. True bypass ensures your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is off, while the option of battery power or an external power supply gives you flexibility for rehearsals, gigs and studio sessions.
Features
- Classic Op Amp Powered Fuzz and Distortion - The op amp based design delivers a tight, punchy response with plenty of gain on tap, covering everything from mild grit to full on saturated fuzz and distortion for rock, punk and alternative styles.
- Symmetrical Hard Clipping - Symmetrical clipping produces a balanced, harmonically rich distortion character that keeps riffs powerful and leads singing, while maintaining clarity and definition across the fretboard.
- Versatile Filter Control - The low pass Filter control lets you sweep the top end from dark and smooth to bright and raunchy, so you can easily tailor the pedal to different guitars, amps and musical contexts.
- Compact True Bypass Design - A small, pedalboard friendly enclosure with true bypass switching and 9V battery operation ensures the Flatiron Fuzz is easy to integrate into your rig while preserving your core tone when bypassed.
