The Hovercraft Ionostrofear Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from Hovercraft, a maker that Premier Guitar described as "now dabbling in fuzz" with the Ionostrofear1. The pedal reviewed by the magazine was the V2.5 version, and the design has moved through several revisions already: V1, V2 and V2.51.
What reviewers said
Premier Guitar reviewed the Ionostrofear Fuzz (V2.5) in June 2023 and summed up its findings in four points: "Meaty but sonically sophisticated. Well built. Lots of headroom. Loud"1. For a player, that combination points to a fuzz that keeps its character at higher volumes and can push an amp hard, rather than a one-trick splatter box. Headroom and overall loudness are worth noting when placing it on a board alongside overdrive pedals or distortion pedals, where level matching matters.
