Fjord Fuzz Thor
Fjord Fuzz · pedal
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.
