Maxon FV10 Fuzz Elements Void
Maxon · pedal
The Maxon FV10 Fuzz Elements Void is part of Maxon's Fuzz Elements series, each voiced around a different character. The Void is the dark, open and resonant voice of the set, producing a deep, expansive fuzz with a heavy low end and a scooped, cavernous midrange rather than the midrange-forward bite of a Tube Screamer-derived circuit. It sustains long and stays thick as notes decay, suiting doom, stoner and psychedelic playing where a wide, enveloping fuzz is wanted over a tight one.
