EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Park Fuzz Sound is a fuzz pedal from EQD based on the vintage Park Fuzz circuit, a Tone Bender Mk III-style design from the British Park brand. The Park Fuzz delivers a thick, creamy distortion character with a smooth, musical sustain suited to blues rock, stoner rock, and heavy psychedelia. Premier Guitar noted it as a perfect fit for stoner rock, dirty blues, and metal. EQD faithfully replicates the original Park circuit, which is a germanium-influenced Tone Bender design, producing a fuzz that is dense and saturated at high gain while delivering usable crunch tones at moderate settings.
