Hangman FX releases Atomic World Ender octave fuzz pedal
November 8, 2024 · 2 sources
Hangman FX has released the Atomic World Ender, an octave-up fuzz pedal with a secondary chopper circuit, Delicious Audio reported on November 8, 2024.
Delicious Audio described the pedal as more than a fuzz because of a choppy tremolo fast enough to create its own drone notes, "almost acting as an oscillator." That hum can be tuned to a song's key with the Speed and Finetune controls and can drop into sub-octave territory, with Depth setting the intensity1.
The fuzz side has Gain and Tone knobs plus three toggle switches that Delicious Audio said give access to 27 tonal combinations1:
| Switch | Options |
|---|---|
| EQ Voices | high, low, mid |
| Clipping | LED, none, Mosfet |
| Fuzz Modes | Octave, Gated, Non-Gated |
Guitar Pedal X, writing on June 6, 2025, listed the fuzz controls as Output, Tone, Gain, the three toggles and a Fuzz footswitch, with the chopper section carrying Speed, Speed Fine-Tune, Depth and a Chopper footswitch. It reported internal trimmers for fine-tune range and dry blend, and side ports for expression and an external remote switch box. It stated the Hangman FX webstore price as $2402.
Guitar Pedal X wrote that the second channel cannot be engaged independently because it has to chop the fuzz signal to produce an output, and that drone mode is reached by turning Speed and Depth to maximum and using Fine-Tune to set the note. It put the full tuning span at slightly more than an octave2.
"It's actually more than a fuzz, since it features a choppy tremolo that's so fast that it creates it's own drone notes, almost acting as an oscillator."
Guitar Pedal X called the fuzz side "several fuzz pedals in one" and said the output can get very loud, while noting that the function labels, particularly for the toggle switches, are hard to read2.
