Fjord Fuzz Odin
Fjord Fuzz · pedal
The Fjord Fuzz ODIN is a powerful fuzz pedal from Norwegian boutique maker Fjord Fuzz, named after the Norse Allfather god Odin. The ODIN delivers a commanding, powerful fuzz character suited to heavy rock, doom, and heavy psych applications where the Norse mythological naming implies a correspondingly powerful sonic impact. Fjord Fuzz builds handmade boutique fuzz pedals in Norway, and the ODIN represents one of the heavier, more commanding designs in the brand lineup, contrasting with the lighter, more delicate FJAER and more restrained MANE.
