BearFoot FX - the Year of the Fuzz

BearFoot FX has quickly made a name for itself by releasing a series of 'best in category' guitar effects, including a full range of overdrives, distortions and clean machines like compressors, EQs and boosters.

Releasing 20 models in 30 months seems impossible, but BearFoot is unique in that most of these models are US built versions of pedals that already had a rabid cult following in BJFE models. All BearFoot pedals are designed by Swedish amp and effects guru Bjorn Juhl. In fact, the title BearFoot comes from the name Bjorn meaning “bear” in Swedish.

Some of Bjorn's most beloved designs are his fuzzes. He initially took most of the fuzz sounds and divided them into two models; the useful daily fuzz tones from Jimi to Neil are in the Pink Purple Fuzz and the crazy chainsaw octave spitty bitey tones are in the Candy Apple Fuzz. The PPF will cover everything from very light dynamic fuzz drives to near muffish singing fuzztones.

At least 3 more Fuzzes are planned for 2013. Some from BJFe existing designs and some brand new. BearFoot FX pedals are currently on tour with a wide range of artists from noise meisters Adrian Belew and Reeves Gabrels (the Cure) to Americana legends like Lucinda Williams (Doug Pettibone), Son Volt (Mark Spencer, Gary Hunt) and Jason and the Scorchers (Warner Hodges) with many more styles in between.
