MarX Effects Gritt Fuzz

The MarX Effects Gritt Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from MarX Effects, a small builder whose pedal Pedal of the Day reviewed in November 2016. The reviewer described it as a little black box that "packs a wallop of sounds into a tiny and unassuming enclosure," a basic design layout with a minimal aesthetic¹. Like other fuzzes in the Fuzz Pedals family, it sits alongside Overdrive Pedals and Distortion Pedals as a gain-staging option, but with the buzz and fuzz character of a dedicated fuzz circuit.

What it does

The Gritt Fuzz keeps its control set to a single knob on the left side, Gain. At low settings the reviewer found it can act like a boost with a slight bite, and cranked it creates buzz and fuzz¹. That range means the pedal can serve as a light push into an amp or a full fuzz, depending on where the knob sits.

Where the reviewer found the pedal stood out was in how it responds to the player: "This fuzz reacts very well with your playing dynamics, as well as cleaning up nicely with your guitar's volume control," allowing easy clean-to-fuzzy transitions¹. For players who roll their guitar volume back between rhythm and lead parts, that kind of cleanup behavior is the main thing to know about this fuzz.
