The Fire Fuzz Elements Effects Pedal takes Maxon’s experience in pedal design and combines it with Japan’s most sought after vintage fuzz pedals, such as the Roland’s AF100 Bee Baa. Delivering the classic square wave clipping with upper octave harmonics, the FF10 offers a thick, muscular distortion that’s bright, focused, and aggressive. A notch switch is added to the pedal to provide two distinct fuzz tones, with notch mode producing scooped mids and accentuated upper octave harmonics. When in normal mode the three controls can be used to dial in powerful fuzz effects that’s perfect for devastating tones, while Notch is suited towards massive leads.
Maxon started out in Japan in 1965 under the name Nisshin Onpa, manufacturing guitar pickups before producing OEM products for other companies. Nisshin Onpa was responsible for designing and manufacturing many legendary pedals while working in partnership with Ibanez, including the TS-808/TS808 and TS9 tube screamers. Although many of the pedals Maxon created were released under the Ibanez name, Maxon was producing pedals under their own name, and in 2002 when the two companies parted way, Maxon began to push its name as a manufacturer of high-quality effects pedals. Today Maxon produce "hard-to-find" vintage type effects pedals, and are used by many artists such as Pearl Jam, Troy Van Leeuwen, Steve Stevens, Brad Whitford, and many more.
