Over the last 23 years I have designed over 25 fuzz pedals. That’s a lot of fuzz.
And I’ve learned a great deal about what makes the perfect fuzz pedal.
Euphorium is the culmination of that experience and knowledge.
Fuzz is such a profoundly expansive effect. The most subtle of nuances can skew it from being sublime to being ridiculous. Not an easy path to navigate.
But in Euphorium, I have found the perfect balance.
A silicon fuzz pedal that offers a near limitless number of sonic variations, all within a very simple to use layout.
By using the Fuzz, Grain and Tone controls, guitarists can reproduce virtually any beloved fuzz sound from the last 50 years.
Blissed out
Euphorium has two independent fuzz circuits within it’s enclosure. The “Bliss” toggle allows you to engage the second fuzz circuit in series with the first.
Painstakingly crafted to work together in the most symbiotic of ways.
More fuzz. More fun. More. More. More.
Grain
Drawing from my Fuzz God series “sputter” control, Grain allows you to choose how smooth or how sputty the fuzz sound is. From soaring, laser like fuzz to “Jimmy Page’s germanium fuzz pedal in the sun too long at an outdoor festival on Zeppelin’s first USA tour” – it’s all their for you.
Glassy Cleans
Everyone loves those glassy clean tones that players like Hendrix and SRV achieved by engaging fuzz and winding the volume back on their single coil guitars.
Not every fuzz pedal can deliver this.
But Euphorium can.
Superbly.
Incredible Dynamic Range
A lot of fuzz pedals are an “all or nothing” affair. No nuance. No touch sensitivity.
Euphorium responds to your pick attack the way a boutique tube amp would:
The harder you hit the string, the more it breaks up. Pick softly and it cleans up.
Dynamic range in your hands.
Full Range Fuzz
So many fuzz designs only allow adjustment of the fuzz amount in the last portion of the fuzz control dials sweep. Not so Euphorium. The full sweep of the Fuzz control determines the amount of fuzz. In either Bliss setting.
Fuzz Tone
I’ve designed a very special tone stack for Euphorium. Specifically crafted to reduce the “bite” component of the fuzz sound. Dial it all the way back for Clapton’s iconic Cream era “woman tone”.
Stratospheric Boost
Euphorium offers an enormous amount of gain. This means you can easily push the front end of a valve amp into overdrive, which will blend beautifully with the pedals fuzz tones.
Dial it below unity gain, at unity gain, or far, far above unity gain.
Plays Well With Others
Euphorium works incredibly well with other pedals. Particularly overdrive.
A Euphorium Fuzz and Epiphanous Drive are a match made in heaven.
Redefining Reliability
From the premium components used, to the way in which the pedal is constructed. A pedal that will never need to go near a repair shop. Unsurpassed reliability.
With a lifetime guarantee upon registering your pedal.
How do we achieve that reliability?
- 100,000 Cycle, True Bypass Footswitch
Most stop box footswitches are guaranteed for a lifecycle of between 20,000 and 30,00 cycles. The switch we use in the Euphorium is guaranteed for over 100,000 cycles.
- Neutrik Sockets
Stand alone, ultra-premium Neutrik jack sockets ensure a lifetime of joyful, trouble-free connection.
- Hand-wired sockets and footswitch
Whereas most pedals use PCB mounted jacks (and some even mount the footswitch on the same PCB), the Euphorium hand wires the footswitch board, DC sockets and jack sockets.
Whilst being a lot more labor intensive in construction, this method guarantees substantially greater pedal durability and strength than the cheaper, and more prone to failure “all mounted on one PCB” approach
I hate the concept of “planned obsolescence”. The idea that a product is only intended to last a few years in order to ensure future purchases.
Every pedal in the Apothecary series is designed as the antithesis to that notion.
I designed the Apothecary series to last a lifetime. That’s why, when you register your pedal, the electronics and mechanisms are guaranteed for a lifetime of use.
I wanted to design a pedal that you can bequeath to your kids.
So I did.
I personally test and hand sign every Euphorium that leaves our workshop.
Housed in a diecast enclosure featuring gorgeous, machined aluminum knobs, unique to the Apothecary series, inspiring, vivid artwork and topped off with a beautiful LED, color matched to the pedals color scheme.
Made with enormous love in New Zealand.
