The Diabolik Harmonic Analog Fuzz is a guitar effects pedal from Malekko Heavy Industries Diabolik, a maker known for compact pedals. It is a fuzz, one of the roughest and most saturated members of the distortion family, sitting alongside overdrive pedals and distortion pedals as a way of pushing a guitar signal into sustained, gritty territory. As its name states, the circuit is analog rather than digital1.
What it does
The Diabolik is a fuzz pedal: it clips the guitar signal heavily, producing the thick, compressed sustain that players reach for when they want a voice that stands out in a mix. The "harmonic analog" part of the name points to the two qualities Malekko emphasizes in the pedal: it works on harmonic content, and it does so with an analog signal path rather than digital processing1.
