Interesting fuzzes and quite a brutal Start with this amount of boxes to Enter The fuzz realm. How will they be priced?

Sweeeet. Looks like the chorus and the delay are both out and around $230 US, I could see the fuzzes priced the same or a little less

Bold move

Interested for sure.

Oh damn. Some of these look great.

Big Muff and Superfuzz, no way!

Water - "The FWA10 expands on the classic fuzz/distortion sounds of the FEA10 by adding a parametric tone section to the circuit. By selecting a specific frequency and boosting or cutting it accordingly, a wide array of new and unique guitar tones can be created including scooped midrange, hi-boost, low-boost, etc."

Fire - "Designed to emulate one of Japan's most sought-after vintage pedals, the FF10 offers two distinct fuzz effects in one pedal. The NOTCH footswitch selects between a bright, aggressive fuzz sound and more focused fuzz with scooped midrange."

Void - "Perhaps the most unique of the Fuzz Elements models, the FV10 circuit generates lots of even-order harmonic overtones to provide a unique Octave/Fuzz sound that can then be mixed with the original guitar signal. The FV10's overtone effects are dynamic and frequency dependant, changing constantly as it tracks different picking styles and/or alternate positions on the fretboard."

Earth - "FEA10 recreates the legendary sounds of early 70's Transistor Distortion pedals. Aggressive while still retaining excellent note definition, the FEA10 excels at Alternative and Stoner Rock sounds. With SUSTAIN at maximum, The FEA10 provides intense distortion with long sustain that cleans up when the guitar's volume is turned down."

Wind - "Modeled after the legendary sounds of late 60's British fuzz tones, the FW10's classic circuit design provides a smooth, mid-gain fuzz effect that is rich in harmonic overtones. In VINTAGE mode the FW10 offers classic 60's fuzz, while HOT mode provides increased gain and additional low-end response. BUFFER ON/OFF switch engages output buffer when set to ON. Buffer setting converts signal to low impedance, providing a smoother, more authentic reproduction of original guitar tone."

Air - "FA10 recreates the classic Octave/Fuzz effects of vintage Japanese pedals, offering a powerful sound by adding upper and lower harmonic overtones. Switchable FAT and SCOOP tone settings provide edgy and bright or smooth, scooped-mid fuzz effects."

Ether - "FE10 expands on Octave/Fuzz sounds of the FA10 by adding a parametric tone section to the circuit. By selecting a specific frequency and boosting or cutting it accordingly, a wide array of new and unique guitar tones can be created."

Only a few of them seem to do relatively new things. I see a Superfuzz, a Muff, a Bee-Baa, and something in the FuzzFace/Tomebender family. So coolness there is all about execution and pricing. The octave fuzz variants that are specially tweaked could be cool. Eq tricks in Muffs is a bit played out for me but that could work for someone who needs parametric mids in a Muff.

Ether & Void. IF they aren't $200 or something crazy, do want.

Yeah that Ether sounds rad. Parametric EQ octave fuzz? SO DOWN.

Yeah, that's why i asked. Each one in a 100-150$ would be cool for me. Above 200$: meher.
Definately some interesting descriptions here. Let's see how this evolves...

Edit: Void, Earth, Ether. Mhm.

Depending on the price some of this might be nice.

I'm assuming the fire one is a shin-ei fuzz?
