Fuzz effect pedal with the sound of a torn speaker
With the Electro Harmonix Ripped Speaker Fuzz, Mike Matthews' legendary effects company sends out a versatile fuzz effect pedal that finds its inspiration in the unusual pioneer-era methods of achieving a distorted guitar tone.
Wide sound spectrum from classic to modern
At the heart of the EHX Ripped Speaker Fuzz is a versatile distortion circuit that, at low gain settings, delivers the classic hairy distortion sounds that were caused by torn speakers, poorly soldered amps, or faulty channel strips in recording equipment during the pioneering days of the electric guitar. As the gain increases, the sound of EHX's Ripped Speaker increases to a monumental modern fuzz with full saturation.
Flexible tone control
While the Ripped Speaker Fuzz 's Tone knob controls the active tilt EQ, allowing you to emphasize low or high frequencies, the RIP knob affects the circuit's BIAS, so that from the neutral middle position you have either the toxic breakaway gating sounds of a draining battery or a smooth but quick fade out of tone as the signal weakens.
