August 18, 2023 · 5 sources

Way Huge announced the Stone Burner Sub Atomic Fuzz on August 18, 2023, a fuzz pedal with an octave-down feature¹. MusicRadar reported that retailers worldwide were taking preorders at the time of the announcement¹, while Premier Guitar listed it as available for pre-order at $169.99, shipping 9/15/23². Guitar World, publishing on August 21, reported it as available now for $169³. Gearnews gave an MSRP of USD 169.99⁴.

The pedal pairs fuzz with a sub-octave effect that can go one or two octaves down, selected with the Sub 1/Sub 2 switch⁵¹. The Sub knob sets the level of the sub-octave signal and the Fuzz knob sets the intensity of the fuzz effect; Tone adjusts overall tone and Volume adjusts the level of the fuzz effect⁵. MusicRadar described large dials for Volume and Sub with Tone and Fuzz mini-dials underneath¹. The footswitch toggles effect on and bypass, with a blue LED indicating on⁵. Input and output jacks are top-mounted¹⁴.

The manual lists the following specifications⁵:

The pedal runs on a single 9-volt battery, a 9-volt AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003, or an MXR Brick Series power supply; the power input is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm jack with positive voltage on the outer sleeve, and using an external supply disconnects the battery⁵.

MusicRadar and Guitar World both described the Stone Burner as drawing on Frank Herbert's Dune, following the 2021 Atreides Analog Weirding Module, and both noted that the two-octaves-down mode was an internal switch on the Atreides but is a front-panel toggle on the Stone Burner³¹.
