Caroline Guitar Company SHIGEHARU™ Germanium Fuzz + Octave (Special Edition)
This product is currently sold out.
Tired of your fuzz getting buried in the mix? Ready to unleash molten sonic gravy from your speakers? Enter Shigeharu™—where classic Muff-style fuzz meets the punch and clarity of a classic overdrive.
Built on cascading Germanium transistor gain stages, Shigeharu™ delivers all the sweet sustain and fiery gain you crave, but with jaw-dropping clarity, punch, and definition. Whether it's at the front of your signal chain or after buffers and wireless units, it performs consistently, cutting through the mix with ease. And then there’s the Havoc stomp, which brings a parallel octave-up voiced fuzz that’ll bring a whole new level of gnarly.
But wait, there’s more. Inside the pedal, you’ll find two extra controls for extra dirty fun:
- Bias/Gate for dialing in broken, spitty fuzz tones.
- A slide switch that locks the octave-up on and turns the momentary button into a kill/mute switch.
Designed in collaboration with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments, Shigeharu™ was fierce enough to make Caroline Guitar Company seek a second opinion.
At Effects Arcade, we’re stoked to bring you these powerful, handcrafted pedals from Caroline Guitar Company’s Distortery™ in Columbia, South Carolina. Ready to take your fuzz to the next level? Grab a Shigeharu™ and bring the noise.
