The Earthquaker Hizumitas Sustainar Fuzz is a faithful recreation of the Elk BM Sustainar, the go-to distortion pedal for Japanese guitarist Wata. As one third of the genre-bending Japanese experimental band Boris, Wata has made a career or mixing killer riffs, searing melodic leads and controlled walls of feedback for almost three decades.

The Hizumitas delivers crushingly heavy distortion and fuzz tones with a smooth sustain and an underlying grit that sounds like the speakers are about to blow up! With incredible clarity and note definition, the Hizumitas is dynamic and versatile and responds to your playing excellently. Featuring an all-analogue signal path and true bypass circuitry, the Hizumitas is aggressive, yet articulate and is guaranteed to add a uniquely different dimension to your setup.

Controls

The Sustain control has a wide range of saturation, meaning even small changes will significantly affect the overall tone. Hizumitas responds excellently to all types of pickups and playing dynamics. Your power chords will sound huge and heavy, while open chords will be dynamic with fantastic note separation, and single note leads will come across smooth and powerful, especially with the neck pickup.

The Tone control can drastically change the character of the distortion in conjunction with the tone. Bass frequencies are boosted clockwise, and treble frequencies are boosted counter clockwise. The tone control can go from an aggressive mid-range grind to piercing highs as you turn it anti-clockwise. As you turn it clockwise, the mids become less present, the highs are tamed, and a humongous, thundering low end comes to the forefront. The Volume control offers massive output gain with unity at around 9-10 o'clock and beyond that, prepare to hear and feel the power of Hizumitas!

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals produce a thick, saturated and often unruly form of distortion with a character all of its own. From smooth vintage sustain to gated, spluttering and synth-like textures, fuzz is one of the most expressive and distinctive effects in guitar history.

Players use fuzz for psychedelic rock, garage, stoner rock, doom, indie, shoegaze and experimental sounds. It can feel more like an instrument than a normal drive pedal, responding strongly to guitar volume, pickup choice and playing dynamics.

Fuzz

Fuzz pedals create thick saturated distortion with a raw and highly expressive character that differs significantly from standard overdrive or distortion pedals. Vintage-inspired fuzz circuits remain hugely influential in psychedelic rock, doom, garage, shoegaze and experimental music.

Different fuzz designs respond very differently to pickups, guitar volume and playing dynamics, allowing players to move between smooth sustain, gated textures and aggressive spluttering tones.
