Within the broad category of guitar effects pedals, fuzz is perhaps the most challenging to pin down sonically. The market is plump with a huge selection of very different-sounding pedals, all purporting to deliver “fuzz.” This may be why some electric guitarists, in their search for the Holy Grail, own more than one fuzz pedal. Wouldn’t it be nice to find the “perfect” fuzz pedal ? at an outrageously great price? Sweetwater is delighted to present the TC Electronic Honey Pot Fuzz, a pedal that straddles the line between fuzz and distortion in a most satisfying way, hitting the sweet spot (pun intended) for many of the guitar players here, and indeed, worldwide.

Great-sounding fuzz for any occasion





Unlike many fuzz pedals that remain intent on doing their own thing regardless of what’s around them in the signal chain, Honey Pot Fuzz’s all-analog circuitry is designed to interact organically with your tube amp. The pedal has gobs of gain on tap ? a shot of adrenaline to the front end of your amp. In a post-preamp effects loop, Honey Pot Fuzz opens up and breathes fire into your solos and rhythm work. However you deploy it, Honey Pot Fuzz serves up a delectable fuzz feast that’s incredibly versatile. Its gargantuan gain range takes you from a slightly gritty, overdrive-like grind to a massive wall of fat, sticky distortion with vibrant, creamy sustain and girthy, muscular tone with dense, sweet highs.





Classic vintage-style fuzz





TC Electronic designed Honey Pot Fuzz to deliver “the instantly recognizable distortion guitar sound found on iconic rock albums from the ’70s onward.” The company specifically cites The Black Keys and The White Stripes, ’90s alternative rock, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon as being specific sonic targets. For you, this masterful design manifests itself in thick, buzz-saw power chords with a life of their own; soaring, violin-like leads; and tight, dynamic riffs that hold their own in any mix.





Epic sustain





With just three knobs to deal with ? Sustain, Volume, and Tone ? Honey Pot Fuzz’s intuitive control set lets you quickly dial in the perfect fuzz for any occasion. While volume and tone are self-explanatory, the Sustain knob is particularly noteworthy, as it allows you to fine-tune the precise amount you want, whether it’s for a solo where you’re bending a note over the span of a few bars or building to a peak on a mountain of chunky power chords.





Tour-tough for the long haul





Given the Honey Pot Fuzz pedal’s extremely alluring price point, you might assume corners were cut somewhere ? but this is TC Electronic we’re talking about. Accordingly, Honey Pot Fuzz is built tour-tough for the long haul with a rugged all-metal chassis. It’s fitted with dedicated input and output jacks and features True Bypass circuitry, so it’s both roadworthy and pedalboard friendly. You can power it with a 9-volt battery, or use TC’s convenient Powerplug 9-volt adapter.
