The World's Smallest Fuzz Pedal

We're huge fans of Volcas, Pocket Operators, and all those portable units, but the Earwig from Olinthus is an order of magnitude smaller - seemingly fit for an action man, dolls house, or barbie (given the colour). Priced at $99 this has to be one of the smallest fuzz pedals of all time, with a pretty decent sound given the demos on show here. It's 30mm by 45mm, with tiny konbs to make your adjustments and 3.5mm inputs and outputs (specs below). Here it is with a synth:

Earwig delivers a huge range of thunderously beautiful fuzz sounds, stuffed into the smallest effects pedal on the planet. This pedal may be tiny, but it has more than enough might to invade your ears with ferocious distortion and sustain. No matter how little space you have, there's always room for the colossal fuzz sounds of Earwig. Its small size allows it to be placed where no pedal has gone before. Running out of room on your pedalboard? No need to kick other pedals off your board--Earwig fits in the smallest open spaces in your rig.
