Malekko Omicron Fuzz Effect Pedal

Malekko Fuzz Guitar Effect PedalWhile the coffee is brewin’ this morning, thought I’d do some searches for fuzzes. I’ve been hearing about Malekko, but never checked them out, so here we go. I first wanted to see what they were all about, so I checked out their website, and in particular, read their story. I really appreciated where these guys come from, and knowing a little about the builders can reveal their angle when it comes to circuit designs. Seems like a personal way to see if their ‘style’ fits yours.

The definitely have a good assortment of pedals/styles to choose from including Synth Modules. But I came here (this time) to look for fuzz… and I found it. The Malekko Omicron Series Analog Fuzz Pedal.

Here is their official description:

This is our take on a classic Germanium diode based fuzz pedal of the past. It produces a wide range of fuzz tones in a super small enclosure. Very easy to use, the FUZZ has just two pots:

VOL, which increases the volume of the signal and is capable of producing a volume boost if so desired, and

DRIVE, which increases the fuzz amount…go ahead, turn it up!!!

But that’s not all- simply flip the pedal over, unscrew the four retaining screws (screwdriver not included), and remove the bottom cover to reveal a tiny three-position switch on the upper left-hand side! This mini switch unleashes the true power of the FUZZ! Position 1 (up) gives you a sweet octave fuzz. Position 2 (down) gives you a heavier “scooped” tone. Engineered to be searing and musical, both of these classic fuzz tones will inspire you to play and play. That’s two killer tones for one low price!

I found a great video by gearmanndude. I was impressed how this fuzz held up with chords. It’s definitely a very useable fuzz sound, which I can see be used in various applications.

You can pick up the Malekko Omicron Fuzz pedal for $130.00 at Fat Tone Guitars (item qualifies for free shipping).
