Embers

£249.00

Embers is a low-gain fuzz preamp, built around the sound and feel of a fuzz with your guitar volume rolled back, made available on a footswitch.

It’s been revoiced specifically for low-gain use. At its core, it’s dynamic, touch-sensitive, and responsive to picking strength, sitting significantly closer to a gritty preamp than a traditional fuzz. A toggle brings back the full, classic silicon fuzz when you want it - saturated, aggressive and expressive.

A Body control blends in clean low end to retain weight and clarity as the gain changes, while a Treble Cut lets you tame top-end bite and shape the overall balance. A wide bias range allows everything from stable and open to more gated and characterful textures.

With a built-in pickup simulator, Embers can sit anywhere on a pedalboard without losing its feel or response. It also works well beyond electric guitar, equally at home on bass, or as a distinctive preamp for acoustic instruments.

Why it’s different

Core Embers is built around one of the best sounds a fuzz makes (in my opinion…) - when it’s backed off.

Not a traditional fuzz with one usable low setting, it’s designed from the ground up for clarity, touch response and usable gain across the whole range.
