About the Hizumitas
Hizumitas was designed for the one and only guitarist Wata from the legendary experimental band Boris, one of the heaviest bands ever to come out of Japan, also known for their unique collaborations with mutually adventurous artists, including American Doom mongers Sunn O))) and Ian Astbury of The Cult.
Hizumitas is a faithful recreation of Wata's go-to distortion pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar, a Japanese variant of the very well-known "Triangle" BMP. EQD thoroughly studied Wata's own unit and discovered that it had something special the others didn't have: heavy saturation with a gritty edge and massive bottom while maintaining a clear and dynamic tone with enough mids and top end to cut through any sludge. The studious wizards at EQD have built all of those characteristics into the Hizumitas.
This fuzz/distortion brings loads of heavy distortion and smooth sustain and an underlying grit that sounds like the speakers are on the verge of ripping apart while delivering amazing and unexpected clarity from such an aggressive sounding pedal.
The Sustain control has a wide range of saturation, meaning even small changes will significantly affect the overall tone. Hizumitas responds excellently to all types of pickups and playing dynamics. Your power chords will sound huge and heavy, while open chords will be dynamic with fantastic note separation, and single note leads will come across smooth and powerful, especially with the neck pickup.
The Tone control can drastically change the character of the distortion, going from an aggressive mid-range grind to piercing highs.
The Volume control offers massive output gain with unity at around 9-10 o'clock and beyond that, prepare to hear and feel the power of Hizumitas.
