Fjord Fuzz Midnattssol
Fjord Fuzz · pedal
The Fjord Fuzz MIDNATTSSOL (Norwegian for midnight sun) is a fuzz pedal from Norwegian boutique maker Fjord Fuzz, with its naming referencing the midnight sun phenomenon of the high-latitude Norwegian summer. The midnight sun association suggests a bright, luminous, or sustained fuzz character that lights up the upper harmonic register. Fjord Fuzz builds handmade boutique fuzz pedals in Norway, each with a distinct character and Norwegian cultural naming, and the MIDNATTSSOL occupies a specific tonal position within their lineup.
