Hizumitas is a faithful recreation of Wata's go-to fuzz pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar—a Japanese variant of the legendary Triangle BMP. EarthQuaker Devices sourced Wata's original pedal to capture its signature sound: heavy saturation with a gritty edge, massive low end, and surprising clarity that cuts through the densest tones. This all-analog pedal delivers loads of distortion and smooth sustain with an underlying grit that pushes speakers to their limit while maintaining dynamic note separation. The Sustain control offers a wide range of saturation—small adjustments create significant tonal shifts. The Tone control drastically reshapes the character: turn it clockwise for a thundering low end, counterclockwise for piercing highs and aggressive mids. The Volume control provides massive output gain, with unity around 9-10 o'clock. Hizumitas responds excellently to all pickup types and playing dynamics. Power chords sound huge and heavy, open chords stay dynamic with fantastic note separation, and single-note leads come across smooth and powerful. True bypass, silent relay-based switching, all-analog signal path, and a lifetime guarantee round out this studio and stage essential. This pedal is in great condition and comes with a box.
