Monarch Pedals - The Third Eye. Handmade in New Zealand.

The Third Eye V2 👁️ – Boutique Overdrive/Fuzz. Check the demo video :)

Somewhere between the worlds of a vintage fuzz and classic overdrive sits The Third Eye – a psychedelic vintage fuzzbeast with all the warmth of a pushed 60s tweed amp and with enough grit around the edges to push your amp to the sweet spot. It reacts beautifully to your playing, cleaning up with a light touch and roaring into punk fuzz when you dig in. Instant Ramones sound.

V1 has already made its way onto boards across NZ, Australia, Japan, Italy, Finland and beyond. After plenty of player feedback and real-world road use, V2 refines the design with tougher hardware, easier-to-read controls, some circuit upgrades, and top-mounted jacks – all while keeping the soul of the original intact.

The MODE switch gives you two distinct voices:

• Vintage germanium warmth – using rare D18 and D311 diodes (close cousins of the legendary D9Es from the original Klon) for asymmetrical clipping. Smooth, rounded, amazingly dynamic and responsive, very 'tube like' in how they feel.
• Modern silicon bite – sharper, more immediate, more 'in your face', louder!

Built in Auckland, New Zealand. 100% original circuit – we don't do clones.

Road-ready and backed with a 2-year RTB warranty.
