Matapō - EKHO - Dual Mode Vintage Silicon Fuzz

"Oversize, expensive to build, completely unnecessary. Just the way we like it.

I don’t want to hear any complaints about the lack of knobs. you’ve got a switch that toggles between two different circuits. Two whole circuits! In one pedal! You should be thanking me really, I’m being very generous.

Two-Transistor style fuzzes are at their best with the gain at 10, and the volume set a little above unity. The player can then use their guitar’s volume knob as the gain control, and dial in great sounds on the fly. Everything is internally set right in the sweet spot, just plug in and play!

The toggle switch gives access to two different circuits. Red is characterised by a smoother distortion, punchy midrange, and subtle but rich bass. Blue gets sillier, with more focus on the treble, delivering a wild, spitty, gated fuzz.

Best practice for the Matapō Fuzz is to put it first in your chain, even before your tuner. These are impedence sensitive devices, they do not appreciate their line of sight to your guitar being obstructed.

Matapō translates to "blind person", giving nod to the anthropomorphism of the legendary Fuzz Face, and acknowledging the lack of "eyes" on the unit."
