MayFly’s Le Habanero Boost and Fuzz pedal, designed with input from Trevor May and Lucas Haneman, offers a wide range of tonal options from clean to scream. Responsive to player touch and guitar volume, stack the Boost and Fuzz for endless sustain and harmonics. Perfect for exploring your inner David Gilmour.
MayFly’s Trevor May and LH Express’ Lucas Haneman have been cooking upsomething real good. Le Habanero is a dual boost and fuzz pedal specifically designed to be very responsive tothe player’s picking hand and the guitar’s volume control. With Lucas’ input, the pedal was specifically tweakedto give a ton of tonal options, from clean to scream, by just using your fingers. It heats up your tone with a tastyboost, scorching lead tones with the fuzz, tantalizing tastes of extreme heat when boost and fuzz are combined.
The boost side is designed to ride the edge between clean and grit. Keep the drive below 12 o’clock for cleanboost but with active treble and bass controls, or push the gain for clear/clean sustain with great note definition.
The fuzz side is tuned to match the tonality of the boost side and offers a load of sustain and harmonics. The fuzz features a unique two-pole filter circuit and deep switch to help match it with single coils or humbuckers.
Stacking the Boost and Fuzz gives you even more. Want to explore your inner David Gilmour? Switch both onand turn up the volume! Want to switch to Little Wing? Turn the volume back down.

Featuring rare NOS Mullard/Valvo OC45 germanium transistors for organic compression, increased gain, and sustain.
"The main composition has stayed the same as the standard version of Unobtanium that we released back in December 2022. A recreation of the Klon style overdrive true to the last detail finds its place at the right section of the pedal while the left section features two Dumble style amplifier voicings, the most unobtainable tube amplifiers in the world."
For the RAW edition, Crazy Tube Circuits added a couple of ingredients to the clipping section of the K side: a set of hand-selected New Old StockMullard/Valvo labeled OC45 germanium transistors from the 60s. They tested many germanium transistor types and found that the OC45 transistors added a supernatural feel with organic compression for increased gain and sustain. The standard sounds are still there in the stock setting where you listen to germanium diodes clipping like in the original unit.
As with the standard version, Unobtanium Raw features a passive effects loop to give you the option to connect your beloved pedals between your booster/overdrive and amp in a box or use the two sections as separate and independent effects when using an external bypass switcher/looper. Note that all pedals inserted in the passive effects loop are still in the signal chain when any or both sections of are in bypass mode.
The RAW version will be built in limited quantities and stay out there for as long as we have stock of the NOS Mullard/Valvo OC45 germanium transistor. It is now available through our online direct store and dealer network.
Street price: 339 Euro, 349 USD
