Mythos Hephaestus Variable Voltage Compact Fuzz Effect Pedal

The Mythos Hephaestus Variable Voltage Fuzz was conceived as a unique twist on the legendary Jordan Boss Tone circuit, crafting an extraordinary fuzz effect that defies expectations. This fuzz pedal stands out with its ingenious modification of the classic NPN and PNP transistor pair, offering an assortment of classic fuzz tones while breaking the mold with an innovative control - the WARNING knob.

This magic knob doesn't tweak volume or gain; it regulates voltage feeding the circuit, leading to intriguing sound manipulations. With maximum voltage, you get the finest of the classic circuit. However, as voltage dips, the Hephaestus introduces a surprising sub octave effect around 1 o'clock, generating a synth-like quality that varies depending on your guitar and amp setup. Diminishing the voltage further enhances this octave effect while simultaneously lowering the circuit's gain, creating a surreal analog fuzz experience. With an internal master volume to adjust the output, the Hephaestus offers a dynamic and unconventional sound - loud, offbeat, and undeniably fun, making it an exciting playground for riff experimentation.

The Mythos Hephaestus Variable Voltage Fuzz is now available in this smaller-footprint stomp enclosure—the same form factor as their Argonaut and Golden Fleece pedals.
