Mojo Hand FX Colossus Fuzz

Mojo Hand Fx · pedal

The Mojo Hand FX Colossus is a Big Muff-style fuzz with added flexibility, including a mids control to combat the typical Muff scoop. Used by Eric Gales, it delivers a thick, saturated, sustaining fuzz that can cut through a mix better than a stock Muff. It suits blues-rock and rock lead wanting massive, singing fuzz with usable midrange.
