Description
Designed in collaboration with Wata, the groundbreaking guitarist of Japan’s experimental heavyweights Boris, the Hizumitas is a crushing fuzz/distortion pedal inspired by her favorite vintage unit: the rare Elk BM Sustainar. EarthQuaker Devices meticulously analyzed Wata’s original pedal and recreated its distinct voice—delivering huge, saturated fuzz with gritty overtones, massive low-end, and an open, cutting presence. It’s a faithful tribute to a classic circuit with unique tonal qualities that let it sit confidently in a dense mix without sacrificing clarity or character.
Hizumitas offers a wide range of gain with an expressive Sustain control that responds dramatically to small adjustments. Its Tone knob shapes the distortion from thick, mid-heavy grind to searing highs, while the Volume control packs serious output—unity hits around 9–10 o’clock, and anything beyond unleashes its full sonic power. Whether you’re hitting heavy riffs, droning chords, or soaring leads, this all-analog, true bypass fuzz reacts beautifully to any pickup and playing style, delivering earth-shaking tone with surprising definition.
