Fuzz pedals
Walrus Fundamental Series Fuzz
$99.99
The Fundamental Fuzz is a 3-mode aggressive fuzz pedal with the tonal integrity to live on a professional’s pedalboard but with simplified controls friendly enough for even the newest effect pedal users. It can live anywhere in your chain: hit it with your favorite overdrive or push it into another crazy distortion.
Catalinbread Karma Suture (Si)
$179.99
A bubbling cauldron of even-order harmonics!
We try out a lot of different circuits at Catalinbread when looking for new ideas, always looking for that spark of something special. During one such prototyping session, one circuit really stood out. We’re talking about a rare and obscure circuit known as the Harmonic Percolator. “Wow! There’s something to be mined here!” This circuit has the amazing property of generating predominantly even-order harmonics – which creates an amazingly sweet and clear distortion. You may know of this circuit from its use by Steve Albini, who owns one particular unit that apparently has magical properties no other unit seems to have. We could search for holy grails and chase rainbows, but we saw a potential beyond one person’s use of it. Oddly enough, the ‘Percolator has a reputation for creating an ugly sound, albeit a cool and ugly sound. But we found something beautiful in it. So beautiful that you could play complex jazz chords through it and every note rings sweet and clear. So, using the original circuit as the springboard, we created the Karma Suture.
Walrus Eons Five-State Fuzz
$249.99
Eons is a five-state fuzz capable of massively thick sounds ready to test the limits of any amp’s grill cloth. Use the Voltage (lightning bolt) knob to crank up to 18 volts into the pedal’s circuit for massive, open fuzz sounds, or choose to starve it down to 3 volts for spatty, gated fuzz.

Catalinbread Giygas
$199.99
Featuring a plethora of useful options, the Giygas gives you everything you’ve ever wanted in a fuzz box, along with some stuff you never knew you wanted (but deep down, you totally knew). The core of the fuzz circuit is brawny and fierce, yet with plenty of violin-like sustain and articulation on tap, and the entire thing is wrapped in a clean blend circuit. From there, the fuzz gets catapulted into a gyrator-based mids boost, and then into a tilt EQ circuit. With the blend rolled all the way back, you can use just the powerful high-headroom EQ to sculpt your clean tone. A horde of options await you under the hood, ones that will make our four-stringed friends extremely happy.

WAY HUGE® SMALLS™ SWOLLEN PICKLE® FUZZ
The Way Huge Smalls Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz concentrates all the potent flavors of its predecessors into a super pedalboard-friendly housing with a simpler interface so that you can plug in and serve up savory saturation in no time at all. Use the Loudness, Sustain, and Filter controls to season your sound to taste. For further customization of your delicious dish, flip the Scoop switch to carve out the mids for power chords that sound huge, and use the Crunch switch to toggle compression intensity. Flipping both switches down delivers the classic three-knob Swollen Pickle setup. In its condensed form, the Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz is no less potent—it still has more fuzz than a moldy peach!

Electro Harmonix Op Amp Big Muff Pi
Faithful re-creation of the original late-70s Op-Amp Big Muff Pi!
With original late-70s Op-Amp Big Muffs selling for exorbitant prices, Mike Matthews decided to take the power to the people and reissue the classic pedal at a price that players could afford! The circuitry of the new EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi —sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff— has been faithfully re-created while several practical enhancements have been added including a compact, die-cast chassis and true bypass switching.
The pedal relies on op-amps rather than transistors and three gain stages rather than four, to create its signature sound. It’s a sound that’s been described by noted Big Muff collector and historian, Kit Rae, as: “a huge, crushing Big Muff sound with more crunch… great for grungy, wall-of-sound distortion, heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads.”
A faithful reissue of the original classic circa 1978
Iconic sound and vibe that’s coveted by guitarists
Controls for Tone, Sustain and Volume, plus a Tone Bypass switch
True bypass switching for maximum signal integrity in bypass mode
Rugged, compact, die-cast package… pedalboard friendly
9V battery included
$101.99
Electro Harmonix Big Muff PI (USA)
The NYC original. Hendrix and Santana were among the first to get a piece of the Pi, and for over 40 years the Big Muff Pi has been defining the sound of rock guitar. Revered by contemporary guitarists and rock legends for its rich, creamy, violin-like sustain, from Pink Floyd to The White Stripes, everyone still wants a piece of the Pi!
$108.99
Electro Harmonix Big Muff Russian
Back by overwhelming demand… in a mini package! The cult classic Green Russian Big Muff first shook the ground in the mid-1990s. Since then it has been heralded by guitarists and bassists for its devastating low-end and unique sludge and sizzle. The Green Russian Big Muff creates a huge tone that is all its own, but is undeniably Big Muff.
$87.99
Nano Big Muff Pi
We took the Big Muff Pi circuit and simply shrunk it without changing its rich, creamy, violin-like sustain and sound. The Nano Big Muff Pi works and sounds identical in every way to our classic NYC Big Muff Pi. Get a piece of the pi for yourself!
$83.99
Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff
Same silky smooth violin-like sustain and creamy tone that made the legendary 1970 Big Muff Pi famous. This little brother displays its heritage proudly. Same circuitry in a compact die-cast box.
