On the left, the AMP section channels the character of a legendary British amplifier known for its unmistakable roar and harmonic depth. It captures the full range of that circuit’s gain structure, from clean and edge-of-breakup tones to fully saturated drive and features JFET technology combined with an internal voltage booster that elevates the 9V DC supply to high-voltage operation, providing authentic amp-like response, enhanced dynamics, and massive headroom. On the right, the FUZZ section takes cues from a revered ’90s boutique design, fine-tuned to our specifications for improved flexibility and clarity while preserving the massive, singing sustain of the original.

Used separately or stacked, these two sides deliver everything from rich, classic crunch to thick, saturated walls of sagging fuzz; a complete palette that captures our vision of unapologetic rock tone, from timeless classics to modern stoner and doom sounds.

Key Features

  • Dual-drive pedal combining an Orange OR120-style amp circuit with a boutique fuzz voice influenced by the Frantone Peachfuzz, covering tones from classic rock crunch to full stoner-doom saturation.
  • AMP section features JFET-based circuit, running at internally boosted high voltage for true amp-like response and captures the full gain range and harmonic complexity of the legendary Orange OR120.
  • Rooted in late ’60s/early ’70s Orange/Matamp circuits first adopted by Peter Green, later defining tones from Andy Powell and Noel Gallagher, and still favoured in heavy rock, stoner, and doom for its massive headroom and thick low end.
  • FUZZ section inspired by Frantone Peachfuzz, a design rooted in the early boutique pedal scene, finetuned for greater flexibility, articulation, and modern usability.
  • Passive effects loop between the two sections for creative routing and stacking options.

Specifications

  • Independent operation of the FUZZ and AMP sections.
  • Click-less true bypass design via high-quality relays for each section.
  • 2 Footswitches / 2 Status LEDs – one for each effect section.
  • Power-up bypass/engage preset function for the footswitches.
  • Top-mounted jacks.
  • Passive series effects loop to connect pedals between the two sections or use them separately as independent effects.
  • Power Supply: Use only 9V DC, 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm, centre negative (not included).
  • Current consumption 82mA.
  • Rich “burnt orange” with a subtle bronze warmth, die-cast enclosure with colour-coded lettering for the control section (black for the FUZZ section, white for the AMP section).
  • Dimensions: (W x L x H): 120 x 97 x 49 mm
  • Weight 423 g

Fuzz (Right Footswitch)

  • Controls:
    • Fuzz: adjusts intensity and saturation, from smooth to explosive
    • Tone: shapes EQ, from dark and woolly to bright and cutting
    • Volume: controls output level of the fuzz section
    • RAW: tighter, lower-gain vintage fuzz
    • BURN: higher gain, more sustain and low-end

Amp in a Box JFET Circuit (Left Footswitch)

  • Controls:
    • Gain: control the amount of amp drive/saturation, from clean to full saturation
    • F.A.T. (Fatness Adjustment Tweak): adjusts low-mid emphasis and gain character v
    • Hz (Bass): low-frequency control
    • kHz (Treble): high-frequency control
    • H.F.D. (High Frequency Dynamics): adds upper harmonic content, drive and presence
    • Master: controls overall output level. Can be used as a boost/preamp

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
