Delivers Legendary British Fuzz Tones of the Late 60s

The Maxon FW10’s fuzz engine is based on the same circuitry used in the late 60s that defined the British classic rock sound. Providing an edge, aggressive tone with plenty of midrange sizzle, the void fuzz pedal features two toggle switches to add extra versatility to the vintage circuitry. The vintage/hot switch delivers two levels of gain to choose from, with vintage mode delivering the classic 60’s fuzz tone while the hot mode offers increased gain and low end response, with extra sustain that’s perfect for solos. The buffer switch provides a smooth, authentic reproduction of the original guitar tone, creating a dirty version of the guitars natural tonality.

About Maxon

Maxon started out in Japan in 1965 under the name Nisshin Onpa, manufacturing guitar pickups before producing OEM products for other companies. Nisshin Onpa was responsible for designing and manufacturing many legendary pedals while working in partnership with Ibanez, including the TS-808/TS808 and TS9 tube screamers. Although many of the pedals Maxon created were released under the Ibanez name, Maxon was producing pedals under their own name, and in 2002 when the two companies parted way, Maxon began to push its name as a manufacturer of high-quality effects pedals. Today Maxon produce "hard-to-find" vintage type effects pedals, and are used by many artists such as Pearl Jam, Troy Van Leeuwen, Steve Stevens, Brad Whitford, and many more.
