Fjord Fuzz FJ/ER
Fjord Fuzz · pedal
The Fjord Fuzz FJAER is a spring reverb guitar effects pedal from Fjord Fuzz, the Norwegian boutique pedal builder. FJAER delivers the characteristic drip and splash of spring reverb — glorious, drippy spring tank character — in a compact pedal format that works well with both clean and fuzzy guitar tones. Wide range of reverb size options allows adjustment from tight, close spring sound to expansive drippy reverb. Hand-built in Norway with boutique attention to detail.
