Fjord Fuzz Hedda Fuzz Pedal

Fjord Fuzz have spent the last 10 years trying to squeeze as much vintage tone and texture as possible into modern, user-friendly and predictable packages. Hedda ditches that approach in favour of maximum dynamism and authority! What's left is a very simple device, packed with flavour and colour. It features amazing clarity on clean-up alongside thick and sticky low-end compression at full tilt.

Maximum Dynamic Range 

If you prefer loads of dynamic range from your rig, then the Hedda is the perfect fuzz partner and is designed specifically for this purpose. The way Fjord Fuzz achieved this was by using a very low input impedance and very high gain silicon transistors, as well as built-in asymmetrical clipping. Fjord Fuzz chose the BC848 transistor (the 12th generation of the BC108 family), not because it's better than its contemporaries, but because almost anyone would secretly want the BC108s great (*12) grandchild of the most legendary silicon transistor ever in you new fuzz pedal — so why not?

Low input impedance means don’t stick it after a buffer or an unbuffered wah, and Fjord Fuzz fans should not expect the output or gain you'll get from the Odin or Berserk. You can do whatever you want of course, but Fjord Fuzz recommend using the unit with a low output, single-coil guitar into a roaring, distorted Marshall-style amp and use your guitar’s volume knob to get your clean tone. Hedda is designed to be an extension of your guitar!

Secondary Footswitch & Controls

The secondary footswitch momentarily engages the feedback loop glitch switch. As long as you hold it down, the circuit output is fed back to the circuit input for synthy, theremin-like oscillation — also controllable via your guitar's onboard controls. The big knob controls your volume and the small control sets your bias, from '70s over-biased, sustainy leads at fully counter clockwise, to spitty and gated fuzz at max.

The company's speaker-shredding stompboxes are solely designed for experimental guitarists who crave the most extreme of tones, and frankly — they have to be heard to be believed! Engulfing walls of fuzzy bliss, self-oscillating pitch bends and sub-octave bellows make Fjord Fuzz's products far from conventional — and we mean that in the nicest way possible!
