Seymour Duncan - La Super Rica Fuzz Pedal

Description

La Super Rica means "super rich", and this silicon fuzz is just that. Inspired by iconic fuzz sounds, La Super Rica builds on the classic with a parametric midrange for maximum versatility.

La Super Rica Fuzz includes a true-bypass switch, an LED and a standard 9v power connection. The overall volume of the pedal has been bumped up so that it is easier to match levels with your amp. There is also a low-contour voicing switch with three settings - so whether you're using single coils, humbuckers, or even a bass, La Super Rica can keep up.

Many fuzz pedals don't allow you to shape the mid-range, resulting in either a scooped sound that gets lost when you add bass and drums to the equation, or unpleasant frequencies that can lead to ear fatigue. La Super Rica Fuzz Pedal has a parametric mid-range control so you can dial in as much (or as little) of exactly the right frequency to fit your mix.

La Super Rica Fuzz is as versatile as it is toneful - capable of reproducing the iconic sounds that inspired it, as well as a surprising array of other fuzz tones - from blues and psychedelic rock to desert rock and stoner metal. How you use it is up to you.
