Hizumitas was designed for the one and only Wata from the legendary experimental band Boris, one of the heaviest bands ever to come out of Japan. Hizumitas is a faithful recreation of Wata's go-to distortion pedal, the Elk BM Sustainar. The Elk is a Japanese variant of the very well-known "Triangle" BMP. Hizumitas offers loads of heavy distortion and smooth sustain with an underlying grit, excellent response to different pickup types and playing dynamics, unique Tone and Sustain controls greatly impact the distortion's character and it offers plenty of output Volume - unity is around 9-10 o'clock, everything above that is set to destroy!
