The Way Huge Doom Hammer Fuzz, model WM45, is a mini-format fuzz pedal from Way Huge by Jim Dunlop, based on Jeorge Tripps modification of a 1978 op-amp Big Muff circuit originally modified for the band Oranger. The Doom Hammer design is characterized by taut low-end control and more mid-presence compared to standard op-amp Big Muff designs, producing a dense, buzzy fuzz with a nasty, brash quality suited to doom metal, punk, and heavy rock applications. Premier Guitar reviewed the pedal as punky and brash with a pronounced midrange one associates with op-amp Big Muffs.
The Fjord Fuzz THOR is a fuzz pedal from Norwegian boutique maker Fjord Fuzz, named after the Norse thunder god Thor, implying a thunderously powerful, striking fuzz character. The THOR delivers an aggressive, impactful fuzz suited to heavy rock, psychedelic, and high-intensity applications where the thunder god naming suggests a bold, striking fuzz with the raw power of a lightning strike. Fjord Fuzz builds handmade boutique fuzz pedals in Norway with Norse mythology naming, and the THOR represents the strike-and-impact character of Thor within the lineup.
