Red Witch Unveils the Zeus Bass Fuzz Suboctave

A two-in-one pedal with a silicon fuzz and an analog suboctave.

New Zealand (October 1, 2015) -- Behold! The Red Witch Zeus! Greek God of Sky, Thunder, Bass Fuzz and Suboctave!

Red Witch Analog are delighted to announce the latest offering from Bass Olympus, the Red Witch Zeus – Bass Fuzz Suboctave pedal.

A bass fuzz suboctave pedal so good, your guitar player will already be plotting to steal it!

Following on from the Factotums glowing reviews comes ZEUS, the second addition to the Red Witch Bass pedal range.

Featuring two pedals in one, the Zeus offers the player a silicon fuzz (comprising the very best features of the Fuzz God II and consistently rated as one of the best Fuzz pedals of recent times) as well the ridiculous might and sub thumping girth of a beautiful 100% analog suboctave effect.

Company founder and designer, Ben Fulton says "Ever since I created the Fuzz God back in 2005, Bass players have been asking me to build a fuzz just for them. I am thrilled to offer the Zeus, featuring many of the features of our award winning Fuzz God coupled with an independent analog suboctave – huge and heavy – bass players are going to love this!"

The beauty of this range of bass pedals is that they've been designed specifically for the bass, which translates to no low-end roll off (unlike the majority of guitar effects, a full frequency response). There is nothing like this available anywhere else in the market. It is truly unique."

Zeus is capable of generating anything from a distant rumble to an all out subterranean cataclysm, the fuzz section works beautifully with or without the analog suboctave, which, as a result of being analog rather than digital, has a fantastic, tactile springiness with extremely good tracking.

Things can get pretty wild…. Picture Geezer Butler rampaging through the jungle, barebacked on a huge elephant, crushing hapless pygmies willy nilly. Yes. All that. And a whole lot more.

Use either effect independently or simultaneously. They each have their own true bypass stomp switch. Dial as little or as much of each effect in with the two mix controls.

Add to this amazing package the option to blend the effected sound with your unadulterated dry sound – super flexible, super dialable. Can we have a "C" for clarity and a "B" for balls?

  • Independent Fuzz for bass – 100% analog
