Overview

Unleash a legendary fuzz.

The Wampler Cryptid Fuzz is not just another fuzz pedal; it's a gateway to a world of classic and modern fuzz tones, all packed into a single stompbox. Designed by Brian Wampler, a master of crafting exceptional guitar effects, the Cryptid Fuzz is an original circuit inspired by some of the most iconic fuzz pedals in history, including the Fuzz Face, Tone Bender, Big Muff, and even Wampler's own Velvet Fuzz. With its versatile controls and responsive design, the Cryptid Fuzz is perfect for players who want to explore the full spectrum of fuzz, from vintage warmth to modern aggression.

A Fuzz for Every Player

Whether you're a seasoned fuzz aficionado or just starting your journey into the world of fuzz, the Cryptid Fuzz has something for you. Its intuitive controls and wide range of tones make it easy to dial in your perfect fuzz sound, regardless of your playing style or genre. The Cryptid Fuzz is equally at home creating classic rock riffs, soaring leads, heavy doom rhythms, or experimental sonic textures.

Versatile Controls

The Cryptid Fuzz features a comprehensive set of controls that allow you to sculpt your sound with precision. The Volume, Tone, and Fuzz knobs provide the foundation for shaping your fuzz tone, while the Character knob takes you on a journey through different fuzz voicings, from classic Fuzz Face warmth to thick, gated Big Muff tones and beyond. The 3-position Tight switch shapes the low-end response, while the Chime toggle adds a touch of harmonic sparkle to your sound.

Responsive and Dynamic

The Cryptid Fuzz is incredibly responsive to your playing dynamics and guitar's controls. Just like a great vintage fuzz, rolling back your guitar's volume knob cleans up the sound beautifully, allowing you to go from pristine cleans to full-on fuzz with a simple twist of your wrist. This dynamic response makes the Cryptid Fuzz an incredibly expressive and versatile tool for shaping your sound.

Built for the Pedalboard

The Cryptid Fuzz is designed to be pedalboard-friendly. Its compact size ensures that it won't take up too much space on your board, while its high-quality components and construction guarantee years of reliable performance. The Cryptid Fuzz can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard 9V DC power supply, making it easy to integrate into any rig.

A Fuzz for the Ages

The Wampler Cryptid Fuzz is more than just a fuzz pedal; it's a celebration of fuzz itself. It's a tribute to the iconic fuzz pedals that have shaped the sound of music for decades, while also pushing the boundaries of what's possible with this classic effect. Whether you're looking to recreate the sounds of your heroes or forge your own sonic path, the Cryptid Fuzz is the perfect tool for the job.
