The Fjord Fuzz Odin is a simple, yet powerful two channel fuzz pedal based on one of the most popular “octave-up” fuzz circuits of all time. The Odin V4 has been aesthetically updated, giving you a visual design that is easier to navigate and tame its unwieldy nature.
Featuring two channels with independent gain controls, the Odin is a versatile and truly unique-sounding fuzz that is guaranteed to cut through in a mix. Named after the legendary one-eyed god from Norse mythology, the Odin elevates your tone to an equally god-like status! Delivering mythical octave fuzz tones in a simple-to-use, pedalboard-friendly format, the Odin must be heard to be believed!
Here’s what Fjord Fuzz say about the Odin:
ODIN takes one of the best octave-up fuzz circuit designs of all time, strips away all the fluff and over-engineering and leaves you with a simple, yet powerful device. Turn it on and you are greeted by a wonderful, saggy, yet open and carefully compressed fuzztone, not too dissimilar from the old smiley-faced fuzz boxes we’ve all tried to love. This one however is louder, more mids-forward, less compressed and just a joy to work with.
Click ODIN into octave mode with the secondary foot switch and you now have one of the best octave up fuzzes on the market roaring from your speakers. It’s really loud and it’s tuned to let your guitar jump out of any mix without getting pointy and harsh.
The two fuzzes are entirely discrete designs within the box, making switching between them a seamless experience, not usually something you’ll find with this type of circuit. Making the two channels independent also made it possible to choose components to specifically suit each side.
