Fear the Wrath of the Most Versatile Fuzz Around
Just like some of the legendary fuzz pedals from the '70s — and previous versions of the Fuzz God — the Red Witch Fuzz God IV fuzz pedal delivers some of the most punishing fuzz tones you've ever heard. Building on the sonic flexibility of the previous iteration, the Fuzz God IV features an internal 8-way DIP switch you can use to alter its gain and tone characteristics — with 264 possible settings, there's a universe of fuzz tone to explore! The confrontational Wrath mode is back, and Red Witch has added a germanium-diode Octavia circuit for octave effects. If you haven't been able to find your ideal fuzz tone in other pedals, you're certain to dial it in with the Red Witch Fuzz God IV.

Octavia + Wrath = sonic insanity
The original Fuzz God pedal introduced the Wrath circuit, an oscillator circuit that parasitically attaches itself to your guitar signal for extreme sonic chaos. It's back in the Fuzz God IV, toggled by the far-right footswitch. The middle footswitch — which is slightly raised so it's easier to stomp on accurately — engages the all-new germanium-based Octavia effect that instantly conjures the vibe of '70s rock. Between these two features, it's clear that the Fuzz God IV is not for the faint of heart. Use them both in conjunction, if you dare!
Who needs 264 different flavors of fuzz?
You do, because one of them is exactly what you're searching for. The internal DIP switches inside the Fuzz God IV allow you to fine-tune the gain and tone characteristics to suit your desired guitar, amplifier, and sonic texture. From smooth, singing sustain to sputtery, speaker-tearing textures, you can find the fuzz tone you need with this pedal. Guitarists at Sweetwater recommend setting some time aside to open up the Fuzz God IV and experiment with the switches (a handy guide is included with the pedal). Eventually you'll find the setting that's perfect for your style, and you can close up the pedal and never look back — until your tastes or needs change, of course. Then you can simply experiment with new DIP switch settings until you find your new favorite fuzz flavor of the day.
