Himmelstrutz FITZO

Himmelstrutz FITZO

Crispy, cranky transparent overdrive. FITZO is a handcrafted Swedish overdrive pedal designed to enhance your amp’s natural voice rather than replace it. It adds clarity, bite and touch-sensitive drive while keeping your guitar and amplifier sounding like themselves.

Unlike many classic overdrives that impose a strong midrange character, FITZO works as a more transparent alternative — ideal for players who want extra push, edge and harmonic sparkle without losing the core tone of their rig.
