New Pigtronix Gas Giant Analog Jumbo Fuzz, with Free Shipping!

Gas Giant is a high-gain analog jumbo fuzz pedal with switchable voicing options for the tone control and a built-in noise gate. Inspired by the iconic transistor-based fuzz pedals built in NYC in the early 1970’s, the Gas Giant uses quad-matched transistor sets to ensure that each and every unit is perfectly dialed in to the “sweet spot” that can be so elusive to find in vintage pedals.

In addition to the Gain and Volume knobs, there is also a dual-function Tone control that delivers the traditional heavy bass, searing top-end and midrange Scoop found in vintage pedals, as well as a signature Pigtronix midrange-forward Bump setting. These two voicing options drastically change the frequency response of the Tone control throughout its entire range, providing a bevy of gargantuan fuzz tones in a compact 3-knob stompbox.

A switchable noise gate in the Gas Giant uses high-speed FET circuitry to lock out the white noise that inevitably accompanies the tremendous gain piled on by the fuzz circuit. Adapted from the design found in our Gatekeeper and specifically tuned for this pedal, the noise gate in the Gas Giant is designed to work flawlessly with a wide range of guitar pickups, without the need for any external controls. Gas Giant features True Bypass switching, runs on standard 9VDC power and is pedal board friendly with a current draw of under 100mA.
