Introdución
The EHX Flatiron Fuzz is a classic op-amp powered fuzz/distortion pedal. Featuring a late '70s style circuit and symmetrical hard clipping, it offers a versatile range of tones. From mild distortion at lower drive settings to thick, meaty fuzz for arena rock sounds, the Flatiron Fuzz provides extensive sonic possibilities. Its unique Filter control, a low-pass filter with a movable cut-off frequency, allows precise high-end adjustment from dark to raunchy tones.
The pedal is named after the historic Flatiron Building in New York City, an iconic landmark near EHX headquarters in the 1970s, which is also pictured on the pedal itself.
