The trio of guitar sorceress Wata, drummer and vocalist Atsuo and double-neck bassist, guitarist and vocalist Takeshi has almost 100 releases filled with genre and brain-melting music. In their nearly three decades together, Boris has infused doom, hardcore, thrash, noise-core, ambient, free improv, drone, psychedelia and more into their extensive discography. Boris is also known for their unique collaborations with mutually adventurous artists, including American Doom mongers Sunn O))), noise legends Merzbow, Keiji Haino and Ian Astbury of The Cult. Wata, always seen and heard on stage wielding her black Les Paul Custom, mixes killer riffs with searing, fluid or jaggedly melodic leads and controlled walls of feedback, often with help from an EBow. It's a connection of chaos and melody that has enchanted Boris fans worldwide and influenced many bands that have followed in their considerable wake. Simply stated, no other band sounds like Boris, and no other guitarist rocks like Wata. But with EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas fuzz on your pedalboard, you can carve out your own singular, mega-heavy tone. Hizumitas is a faithful recreation of Wata's go-to distortion pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar. The Elk is a Japanese variant of the well-known "Triangle" BMP. Wata graciously sent her beloved pedal halfway around the world to the designers at EQD, who 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 EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas faithfully replicates that sound; the fuzz 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 in conjunction with the tone. Bass frequencies are boosted clockwise and treble frequencies are boosted counterclockwise. The tone control can go from an aggressive mid-range grind to piercing highs as you turn it counterclockwise. As you turn it clockwise, the mids become less present, the highs are tamed and a thundering low end comes to the forefront. 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. Faithful sonic recreation of Wata from Boris' crushing go-to fuzz: the Elk BM Sustainar Offers loads of heavy distortion and smooth sustain with an underlying grit Excellent response to different pickup types and playing dynamics Unique Tone and Sustain controls greatly impact the distortion’s character Offers plenty of output Volume (unity is around 9-10 o’clock; everything above that is set to destroy) All-analog signal path True bypass Silent relay-based switching Lifetime guarantee Orders are generally shipped the following business day after payment is received.
