Ten years ago Strymon CEO and analog engineer Gregg Stock built a few custom fuzzes in an afternoon as a way of clearing his head, and they’ve been gathering dust on a shelf ever since. Unearthed seven years later when we needed a fuzz to pair with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.strymon.net\/product\/ultraviolet\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eUltraViolet vibe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, that rediscovery became the catalyst for the creation of our new Series A line of all-analog pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eNow we’re pleased to announce the arrival of Canoga, a tweaked version of a vintage silicon FuzzFace® based upon one of Gregg’s original three fuzz designs. Full up it works as a fuzz or distortion, but if you back the guitar’s volume down there’s a world of varied tones on tap for all different styles of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCanoga is a simple pedal to use – there’s one knob for Drive and one for output Level – but the interaction between the guitar and Canoga’s input is critical, as is the interaction between it and your amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs with many fuzz pedals, Canoga works brilliantly plugged into an amp with a bit of hair on the tone already, similar to how Jimi Hendrix and other guitar greats of the 60s and 70s ran their rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAdditional versatility comes from the interaction between your guitar’s volume knob and the pedal’s input. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTraditionally, unbuffered fuzz pedals like to be connected directly to your guitar, so that the circuitry can “see” your guitar’s pickups and volume pot. Full up on both of Canoga’s pots and your guitar volume pot gets you the full fuzz experience, and rolling back the volume on the guitar opens up a new world of semi-clean blues, rock, Americana and pop sounds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe rolled back sound stays clear in the high frequencies and doesn’t get muddy, so you might find that Canoga allows you to convincingly play riffs that you would normally employ a distortion pedal for, not a fuzz. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eKiller code only sounds killer when it’s hosted inside of an ideal analog environment, and even though we’re primarily known for our DSP prowess, our stuff wouldn’t sound the way that it does without our strong analog team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe analog guys are always coming up with interesting designs, so we’ve launched the ‘Series A’ line of pure analog pedals to give them an outlet, with Canoga being the second in the line, alongside \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.strymon.net\/product\/fairfax\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFairfax\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe designs you’ll be seeing in ‘Series A’ are intended to offer something different from traditional Strymon offerings, with no MIDI, USB, firmware or digital processing.
