General

Are you looking for something similar to the renowned Rat-like distortion from the 1970s, but even bigger? If so, check out this Flatiron Fuzz effects pedal from Electro Harmonix. It's an op-amp fuzz/distortion pedal that gives you that popular, massive, symmetrical hard clipping sound, but is even more versatile than its predecessors. As soon as you turn it on, you can already enjoy the immaculate cleanliness of the true bypass signal. Incidentally, the Flatiron Fuzz is named after the historic Flatiron building in Manhattan which is why there's a '70s-style graphic of it printed on the face of the pedal.

Flatiron Fuzz: blow off some musical steam

As you'd expect, the Flatiron Fuzz has volume and drive controls, but instead of a tone control, there's one called filter. This sets the tipping point of the low pass filter and makes your guitar or bass guitar sound as sharp or dark as you like. That makes the EHX Flatiron Fuzz suitable for genres including arena rock and brutal metal, but also for more experimental music as well as alternative and even fusion-based styles. In any event, you're sure to have a lot of fun with this effects pedal.

Fijn geluid, mede inzetbaar als booster wat goed bevalt. Ik verlies wel wat lage tonen met deze fuzz.

Paar maanden nu in gebruik

Ik heb fuzz pedalen die mooier, specialer en/of duurder zijn: toch zit deze wel op mijn pedalboard, en al die andere niet. Veel nuttige geluiden: lowgain is soort overdrive, high gain is lekker heftig. Geen metal sound

Je cherchais une pédale Fuzz qui ne soit ni trop grasse, ni trop sale, une pédale qui amène du grain sans écraser les harmoniques ni sacrifier les aigus. La flatiron fait le job, à moindre coût. Elle se veut un clone de la Proco Rat. C'est vrai dans l'intention (une disto/fuzz simple et efficace) plus que dans le son. La Flatiron reste dans la lignée des pédales EHX, avec un son généreux en graves et en aigus, alors que la Rat sonne plus médium à mon avis. En résumé il y a sans doute mieux, mais plus cher, et pour le prix le son est très correct. Point négatif : la tonalité pas très progressive et l'esthétique (comme toutes les pédales EHX récentes)
