Hyper Soup - Super Octave Fuzz
The Gigahearts FX Hyper Soup is a modern marvel that pays homage to the legendary Univox Super Fuzz, a cornerstone of heavy guitar tones since 1968. This pedal expertly blends the raw, doomy character of that iconic circuit with a host of enhancements that make it a must-have for today's discerning players. At its core, the Hyper Soup delivers a mesmerizing octave-up fuzz that can take your riffs to dizzying new heights. But this is no one-trick pony – a four-position rotary switch unlocks a world of sonic possibilities. Hump mode provides a mid-boosted fuzz, Scoop mode cuts the mids for a more aggressive, scooped tone, while the secret "Mix" mode blends the two for a truly unique voice. And when you need a little extra push, the Boost mode is there to deliver, with a master volume control for seamless integration. But the Hyper Soup's versatility doesn't stop there. Active bass and treble EQ controls allow you to sculpt your tone with precision, while the footswitchable octave-up function adds an extra layer of harmonic richness and perceived gain – perfect for contrasting rhythm and lead parts. Beloved by doom metal titans like Electric Wizard, who famously employed the circuit on their seminal album "Dopethrone," the Hyper Soup is a true modern classic. Housed in a sturdy, sand-textured enclosure and built by hand in Manchester, UK, this pedal is a must-have for anyone seeking the ultimate in heavy, atmospheric fuzz tones.
