Unearth the Walrus Audio Silt Harmonic Fuzz, a collaborative creation with tube expert Jim Hagerman. Wielding an internal pre-amp tube, the Silt is a two-in-one fuzz that creates massively rich fuzz tones perfect
for chords and rhythmic parts or with the press of a switch, adds uniquely harmonic overtones to the signal before hitting the tube. Crafted specifically for those seeking a harmonically rich fuzz experience, the Silt boasts an analog circuit with the distinctive warmth of a 12AU7 tube as its drive section, letting you explore a unique and wild sonic landscape.
Main Features
- 12AU7 Tube Drive – The Silt's 12AU7 tube section drives the warm, bone-rattling fuzz. We unearthed this sonic fossil to encase your sound in an amber warmth, while still providing the grit, growl, and harmonically complex textures that only a tube-driven fuzz can provide.
- Harmonic Mode – Harmonic Mode acts as a frequency doubler before the drive section of the pedal. This produces crispy, octave-like sounds, lending a unique edge to your lead tones. Try this with your guitar tone knob rolled off.
- Contour Control for Precision Tone Sculpting – Refine your fuzz tones with the precision of the Contour control to achieve a wide spectrum of timbres. Toggle between highpass, flat, and lowpass curves in the pre-tube EQ stage, like uncovering layers of sonic strata. Especially helpful when switching between different styles of pickups. Whether you're chasing searing leads or wooley rhythm, the Silt adapts to your style with roaring precision.
- Designed for Operation at 9v-12v for Plenty of Gain – Supercharge your fuzz experience by operating the Silt anywhere between 9v and 12v. Running the pedal at 12v will give you an extra gain boost, letting you push the primal boundaries of fuzz to deliver the searing tones you’ve been searching for.
- True Bypass Circuit – Maintain the integrity of your original tone with the relay bypass circuit. When disengaged, the Silt ensures your signal remains pure, allowing your guitar's natural voice to shine through undisturbed.
Controls
- Volume: Control the output volume level of the pedal.
- Tone: Sculpt your output tone with a lowpass/highpass tilt tone control.
- Gain: Control the input gain into the fuzz circuit, from subtle, distortion-like crunch to full-throttle fuzz.

Fuzz
Fuzz is a distinctive type of distortion effect used in guitar playing, known for producing a thick, saturated, and buzzy tone. Unlike other distortion effects that aim to mimic the sound of overdriven tube amplifiers, fuzz pedals create a more extreme and aggressive distortion by severely clipping the guitar signal. This results in a unique sound characterized by rich harmonics, extended sustain, and a pronounced edge. Key features of fuzz pedals include gain, tone, and level controls. The gain control adjusts the amount of distortion applied to the signal, with higher settings producing more aggressive tones. The tone control allows musicians to shape the frequency response of the effect, ranging from dark and bass-heavy to bright and treble-focused sounds. Lastly, the level control sets the overall output, ensuring that the fuzz effect matches the volume of the rest of the signal chain or amplifier.
Fuzz pedals are popular across various music genres, particularly in rock, blues, and psychedelic music, due to their ability to enhance different guitar-playing styles. For rhythmic riffs, fuzz pedals create thick and aggressive tones with plenty of sustain and grit, adding depth to power chords, riffs, and palm-muted passages. In lead solos, they allow guitarists to achieve soaring, saturated tones with singing sustain and harmonically rich overtones, helping solos stand out in a mix.
Fuzz pedals are versatile tools for creating experimental sounds, capable of producing oscillating feedback, glitchy textures, and otherworldly tones when pushed to their extremes. Overall, fuzz pedals offer guitarists a powerful means of shaping their tone and adding character to their playing. Whether used subtly for warmth or dialled up for extreme distortion, fuzz pedals inspire creativity and expand the sonic palette of any guitarist.

Harmonic
Tube
Tube-sounding guitar effect pedals are celebrated for their ability to replicate the warm, rich, and dynamic tones associated with classic vacuum tube amplifiers.
These pedals emulate the natural harmonic distortion and compression produced by tube circuitry, which adds depth and character to the guitar’s sound. This results in a more organic and engaging tone with a pleasingly smooth overdrive that many musicians find desirable.
The warmth and complexity of tube emulation can enhance both subtle nuances and powerful lead tones, making it ideal for genres that favour vintage or classic sounds.
Tube-sounding pedals often provide greater responsiveness to playing dynamics, allowing for expressive performance variations based on how hard or softly you play.
This dynamic sensitivity ensures that the pedal’s effect adjusts naturally with your playing style, preserving the nuances of your technique. The harmonic richness and clarity achieved through these pedals offer a more detailed and full-bodied sound, which helps in achieving a distinctive tone that stands out in both live performances and studio recordings.
Despite the higher cost and occasional maintenance needs, the unique tonal qualities of tube-sounding pedals make them a favoured choice for guitarists seeking an authentic and versatile sound.
