Electro-Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz Distortion Pedal

Description

The Electro-Harmonix Flatiron Fuzz Distortion Pedal is a fuzz distortion pedal intended for electric guitarists. The pedal sports a classic op-amp design to give you both warm, rounded distortion and high-octane fuzz. Set the pedal to mild values to preserve a moderately clean tone with low-level saturation, or crank the Drive dial to secure a hefty, classic 1970s fuzz.

Use the Drive knob to dictate the amount of input gain in the circuit. The Filter knob introduces a low-pass filter for curtailing the highs, which can sometimes be over-emphasised by fuzz distortion. As you turn this knob clockwise, the centre-frequency increases, letting you introduce more high-end into the circuit. The Volume knob controls the output level of the pedal.

The Flatiron employs True Bypass circuitry on the Bypass/Engage footswitch, so that your tone remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged. A 1/4" instrument input and 1/4" instrument output are provided for your guitar. Use the supplied 9V battery to power the pedal on stage, or use a separately available EHX9.6VDC-200mA power supply.

Key Features:

• Classic op-amp powered fuzz/distortion.
• Delivers symmetrical hard clipping.
• As you turn down your guitar volume, it cleans up, but not all the way.
• Filter control.
• Features True Bypass to preserve signal-path integrity in bypass mode.
