Heavier than a death in the family

Anonymous 10.09.2022

As a long time fan of Boris and Wata I jumped on this the second I learned of its existance and I am not disapointed. It's a big muff on steroids, capable of unleashing a wall of noise with no support whatsoever, and the controls are good enough that it's not restricted only to big doom chords. You can get into some nasty ear splitting soloing too.
Build wise this is basically a metal brick and the knobs feel sturdy and responsive. The killer artwork also doesn't hurt.
All in all, this thing plain rules.

It's a monster

Illusionaire 06.02.2025

I love this pedal. I watched a lot of videos and reviews and I risked buying it without trying it first. I was rewarded. It can have a huge sound. I own several guitars, some with humbuckers. But these days I have set up my rig based on a stratocaster. I was amazed by the big sound this pedal could make out of my single coils. Tonewise I can get anything from bright over-the-edge fuzz, to bass heavy clipping, sounding like a torn speaker. And everything in between, with ease. The saturation can be huge, but it can also be subtle, giving only some even harmonics. A smooth octave with some saturation. With the guitar volume turned back a bit, I can get the Santana's Black Magic Woman tone.
Overall I was hapilly surprised and totally satisfied.
Also it makes a good pair with th EQD Zoar, which can give me an edge going into the Hizumitas, resulting in a more defined articulation without compromising the fuzz massive clipping.

What's not to love? Lovely crushing tones of destruction.

tugboatcaptain 09.04.2022

歪 (hizumi) means distorted, for those of you wondering about the name.

That's the only thing I can say about it that I didn't immediately come up when googling it. Youtube will tell you what it sounds like. It's obviously well built.

I play it through a Koch Jupiter 45W amp, single coil overwound Mustang. I love it, it's the best sounding pedal I have if you're into these things.

Synth leads from hell!

BitiliBlack 11.05.2023

I got it for my dawless synth setup, to use on my saw leads, for that "wall-of-death-sound". Chained it up with delay before and reverb after... The grin on my face when I turned it on :) ... Just pure joy!

The sustain you get with that fuzzy distortion sounds just phenomenal on synths!

Apart from synth leads, I hooked it up on bass machines, drum machines... it just sounds great on everything for me. This pedal is my new main distortion and will definitively be used a lot!
