Fjord Fuzz has just announced its new SOL, a creation born of collaboration between Fjord Fuzz, Palf, Little Box Effects, and Pedal Empire. In this article, we dive into the depths of the SOL, a pedal that captures the spirit of Gilmour and Hendrix.
The concept of this new pedal
“SOL means sun, of which we have very little here in the north for half the year“. This phrase from Fjord Fuzz perfectly sums up the inspiration behind the creation of the SOL. Conceived during the long Scandinavian nights, this pedal seeks to bring back the warmth and luminosity of the sun in the music that emanates from it…
The collaboration between Fjord Fuzz and PALF is a harmonious marriage of Nordic engineering and French expertise. Together, they have created a sonic alchemy that embodies the musical spirit of David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix.
SOL features
The SOL stands out for its independent channels offering a high dynamic range. On one side, a high-dynamic fuzz for deep saturation, on the other, a powerful and versatile Uni-vibe for swirling effects.
Independent controls for each channel allow limitless creativity, perfectly balancing intensity and smoothness. The powerful LFO (Low Frequency Oscillation) adds an extra dimension, oscillating between a gentle pulse and a sonic storm. The unique gate effect, activated above 50% of the LFO setting, adds extra texture and dimension to your sound.
Whether you’re looking for deep saturation with dynamic fuzz or swirling effects with Uni-vibe, the SOL is designed for a wide variety of uses!
Retail price: €229
Available in 3 versions (from left to right: Sol X.O., Sol 2001 and Sol Originale)
