The Manson Supermassive Black Fuzz is engineered to deliver thick, expansive fuzz tones inspired by some of the most iconic modern rock sounds. Designed through a detailed collaboration between Manson Guitar Works, Matt Bellamy, and ThorpyFX, it blends classic analog saturation with futuristic filter-driven character. Its distinctive voicing gives guitarists the ability to move from vintage-style grit to huge, atmospheric fuzz that cuts through dense mixes with ease.
At the heart of the pedal is a flexible EQ and filter architecture that allows precise sculpting of the mids and upper harmonics. With controls for Magnitude, Warp, Dimension, and Gravity, players can dial in everything from tight, focused fuzz lines to broad, sweeping distortions ideal for riffs, leads, and experimental soundscapes. The switchable EQ and boost functionality expand the tonal range further, making it a versatile companion in both studio and live environments.
Built in the UK using premium components and a rugged aluminium enclosure, the Supermassive Black Fuzz is crafted to withstand years of heavy use. Its responsive feel, intuitive layout, and wide tonal palette make it a powerful choice for guitarists seeking a bold, modern fuzz capable of delivering both raw analog energy and refined, sculpted texture.
