EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar
Overview
The EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas Fuzz Sustainar is a signature fuzz pedal developed in collaboration with Boris guitarist Wata, designed to capture the massive, crushing fuzz tone that defines the band's iconic sound. The circuit delivers an enormous, wall-shaking sustain with a dense, harmonically saturated fuzz character that fills every corner of the frequency spectrum. Three controls " volume, tone, and sustain " keep operation direct, with the sustain knob providing an absurd amount of gain that transitions from thick, woolly crunch to infinite, feedback-laden saturation. The tone control has a dramatic sweep, moving from thunderous, bass-heavy doom to searing, treble-focused aggression. The pedal's voicing sits in a unique space between a Big Muff-style fuzz and a more aggressive, modern fuzz circuit, with a thickness and weight that makes it particularly effective for heavy, down-tuned playing styles. Picking dynamics are surprisingly responsive for such a high-gain circuit, allowing players to manipulate the texture through their attack. True bypass switching and a rugged enclosure with EarthQuaker's artistic design round out the package. The Hizumitas is essential for doom, sludge, stoner rock, and experimental players who need a fuzz pedal capable of delivering apocalyptic sustain and density. The extreme gain and heavy voicing make it less versatile for lighter musical applications where subtlety is required.
