Rift Amplification Introduces Elysium Low-Gain Fuzz Pedal

The Elysium is a low-gain fuzz pedal that combines the clarity and dynamic response of a great overdrive with the raw and complex texture of a vintage fuzz.


ā€‹Rift Amplification has launched the newest addition to the companyā€™s line of pedals: The Elysium, a low-gain fuzz pedal that combines the clarity and dynamic response of a great overdrive with the raw and complex texture of a vintage fuzz.

The Elysiumā€™s simple controls, combined with your guitarā€™s volume pot, allow you to dial in your tone quickly. The pedal is fully hand wired in England using the same parts and techniques as Riftā€™s premium line of amplifiers. This pedal unlocks a new range of tones from your amp with just a tap of the switch.ā€‹

Each ELYSIUM pedal offers the following features:

  • One knob to control LEVEL
  • VOICE switch - move between Fat and Warm, or Scooped and Tight
  • Hand-built to last with ease-of-servicing in mind, no fiddly PCBs or hard-to-source parts
  • True point-to-point construction using the same components as our amplifiers.
  • 9-volt operation with the industry standard center-negative 2.1mm DC input socket - no battery
  • Hardware includes SWITCHCRAFT/NEUTRIK sockets and GORVA foot switches.
  • Full no-quibble LIFETIME warranty to the original owner - (proof of purchase required).

The Elysium is available for Ā£199 including UK VAT.

This Japan-made Guyatone brings back memories of hitchinā€™ rides around the U.S.

This oddball vintage Guyatone has a streak of Jack Kerouacā€™s adventurous, thumbing spirit.

The other day, I saw something I hadnā€™t noticed in quite some time. Driving home from work, I saw an interesting-looking fellow hitchhiking. When I was a kid, ā€œhitchersā€ seemed much more common, but, then again, the world didnā€™t seem as dangerous as today. Heck, I can remember hitching to my uncleā€™s cabin in Bradford, Pennsylvaniaā€”home of Zippo lightersā€”and riding almost 200 miles while I sat in a spare tire in the open bed of a pickup truck! Yes, safety wasnā€™t a big concern for kids back in the day.

Fifteen watts that sits in a unique tone space and offers modern signal routing options.

A distinct alternative to the most popular 1x10 combos. Muscular and thick for a 1x10 at many settings. Pairs easily with single-coils and humbuckers. Cool looks.

Tone stack could be more rangeful.

When you imagine an ideal creative space, what do you see? A loft? A barn? A cabin far from distraction? Reveling in such visions is inspiration and a beautiful escape. Reality for most of us, though, is different. Weā€™re lucky to have a corner in the kitchen or a converted closet to make music in. Still, thereā€™s a romance and sense of possibility in these modest spaces, and the 15-watt, 1x10, all-tubeSupro Montauk is an amplifier well suited to this kind of place. It enlivens cramped corners with its classy, colorful appearance. Itā€™s compact. Itā€™s also potent enough to sound and respond like a bigger amp in a small room.
