SKU: ODIN

Product Description

The Fjord Fuzz ODIN pedal is named after the one-eyed all-seeing god, and trust us — its name is very befitting! Delivering monstrous levels of gain, the ODIN is a mightily-powerful octave fuzz with a simple one-knob layout; an obvious allusion to its mythical title.

ODIN's no-frills feature-set calls for your own playing dynamics, volume knob control and musicianship to coax the sounds you want out of it — just the way it should be!

Please Note: The control plate on this pedal is made from copper which, as it oxidises, will develop marks and change colour over time giving each pedal a unique appearance.

About Fjord Fuzz

Fjord Fuzz are a tiny boutique pedal brand based in Bergen, Norway. Built "by real musicians for real musicians" — in their own words — Fjord's unique circuits completely warp your guitar's signal with glitchy, tone-altering, high-gain filth!

The company's speaker-shredding stompboxes are solely designed for experimental guitarists who crave the most extreme of tones, and frankly — they have to be heard to be believed! Engulfing walls of fuzzy bliss, self-oscillating pitch bends and sub-octave bellows make Fjord Fuzz's products far from conventional — and we mean that in the nicest way possible!

Here's what Fjord Fuzz says about the ODIN:

This time in my favorite format: simple yet powerful. Rightmost foot switch bypasses and leftmost foot switch toggles snappily between a beautiful, warm vintagey fuzztone and a brilliantly clear and cutting octave fuzz.

I spent a lot of time getting the octaves just right and that means you can use this thing for chord work, but also for really clear and glassy octave tones.

The octaveless circuit features internal trimmers to allow you to add or subtract gain at two different places in the circuit, giving you options if either a sweet, light gain overdrive or a very thick and heavy, doomy fuzz or anything in between. One shared volume control makes this the simplest, most flexible pedal on your board and the perfect live fuzz for pretty much anyone!

You know how some pedals seem to write riffs on their own? This is one of them. I put dozens of riffs into each one, by hand and I would suspect that you get a minimum of three half decent songs out of it.

I've tinkered with this circuit for years, but was actually first introduced to its ancestry by Ruban of Unknown Mortal Orchestra almost 10 years ago. He let me try this amazing fOXX Tone Machine he had built and I immediately knew how to get it even better. This is it. It's the only circuit I ever got right first try. I simply ditched the tone control and clipping stage and changed the output stage for a much louder one, identical to the first gain stage in EMBLA and that was really all I needed to do. You're left with a punchy, mid-focused, loud octave fuzz that sits exactly where you want it to.

Years later I discovered it works really well without the octaving too, and so I made it into this ever-expanding piece that grew way beyond its initial scope. This was a regrettable mistake.

ODIN is the one-eyed all-seeing god. The wise. The Wanderer. This pedal is the most powerful device you can have as a touring musician and its one-knob layout is an obvious allusion to the real life Odin. The simple layout calls for your own playing dynamics, volume knob control and musicianship to coax the sounds you want out of it, and that's how I think this thing works the best!

This fuzz pedal inspires me to try new things while playing the guitar. The octave is able to be used anywhere on the neck which I really like.

Trusted Customer7th Aug 2021

As someone who never really was interested in Fuzz or Octave pedals, I saw the Anderton video on the Odin, and I was blown away by how cool it sounded. I decided to give it a go, and hearing it against my '65 Deluxe Reverb, I think I finally understand what all the "Fuss" is all about. It's incredibly easy to dial in the sound you want (thank you 1 knob!), and having the option to run it with or without the octave makes it surprisingly versatile as well. Just be aware that the copper will not remain stain free for long. You will inevitably get your fingerprints on it, and no matter how much you wipe it down, some residue will remain. I don't mind that in the slightest, but for those who do, just be aware of that.

Without a doubt the most fantastic sounding and responsive fuzz I've ever played. The octave up a loud and proud. Feels sturdy and well made too.
