(Custom Shop) Filter Fuzz
The Hiwatt Custom Shop's Filter Fuzz is a sonic time machine, transporting you back to the riotous, free-spirited guitar tones of the 1960s. This all-analog pedal is the result of a passionate collaboration between Hiwatt's tone wizards, who've meticulously recreated the elusive magic that fueled the era's most iconic recordings. At its core, the Filter Fuzz delivers a thick, creamy fuzz that's equal parts ruthless and refined. But what sets it apart is the inclusion of a high-pass filter – a feature that allows you to sculpt the low-end response, taming the rumble and focusing the snarl exactly where you need it. This makes the Filter Fuzz an incredibly versatile tool, capable of everything from searing lead lines to thunderous rhythm work. Rumor has it this pedal was a secret weapon used by Grand Funk Railroad on their seminal 1969 album, providing the raw, unbridled energy that propelled hits like "I'm Your Captain." Plugging in, you can almost feel the vibrant spirit of that bygone era – the Filter Fuzz capturing the essence of a time when guitar was the voice of a generation, unbound and unapologetic. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or simply seeking to inject your playing with a dose of psychedelic swagger, the Hiwatt Custom Shop's Filter Fuzz is a must-have for any guitarist looking to unlock the secrets of the past and forge their own sonic revolution.
