Welcome to the world of FITZO, an overdrive pedal that amplifies your amp's natural tone, adding clarity and transparency to your boosted performance. FITZO is designed for perfect compatibility with your amplifier's genuine character, fresh from other overdrive pedals that most of the time colour your tone, sometimes like a joke.

The FITZO Difference: Pure Transparency

FITZO is designed for the guitarist seeking authenticity. Unlike most overdrive pedals, which color one's tone with their own, FITZO was designed to retain the integrity of your raw tone. It's a natural-sounding boost/overdrive that lets your true guitar and amp voice shine through. Whether it is blues, rock, or jazz, FITZO won't let your tone change—it will sound like you and your amp, just enhanced. True to your individuality.

A Real Alternative to Tube Screamer

The Tube Screamer has long been the go-to for its mid-range push, but it usually alters the fundamental tone of your amp one way or another. FITZO does things very much differently: it gives you transparent overdrive that elevates your sound without changing its core character. That makes FITZO perfect for players who want to give the tone & personal playing style a boost while retaining the natural voice of the amp.

Flexible and Easy to Use

FITZO easily fits into any rig—either one deals with a vintage tube amp or in more modern settings—like the Himmelstrutz amps! Its simple controls make it easy to intuitively dial in the exact amount of drive—from a little boost to rich overdrive. That makes FITZO just as fundamental to every player, no matter of your genre or style.
