Spun loud's pedal no.3 is a glorious velcro-y fuzz machine
Spun Loud Shuksan Fuzz
The Shuksan Fuzz is a discrete high-gain fuzz drive that will give players a stunning dynamic range and variety of tones — from mild gated drive to screaming octave fuzz. With its intuitive controls, players will find plenty of interplay and the ability to get a variety of unique and useable tones in a simple package. Described as smooth, articulate, responsive and at times “Velcro-y,” the Shuksan offers players unique and exciting soundscapes that will keep them playing.
Current Draw
Shuksan uses three gain stages, each cascading into the next, to push a gnarly, to-the-hilt fuzz effect that tips its hat toward both huge vintage fuzz tones and harder charging modern tones.
The Shuksan includes three controls:
Input: Controls the guitar signal entering the gain stages. This can take the place of using your guitar volume, or can be used with it to get different levels and tones. Input allows the pedal to be dialed in with a variety of guitar/pickup/amp combinations.
Sustain: Controls the gain level on the middle gain stage. Use this with the input all the way down to achieve a milder fuzz/distortion sound, or ramp up the input to reach higher gain settings and a variety of flavors.
Volume: Controls the overall output level of the effect. Unity gain is about 11 o’clock, so there is plenty of range to push the volume dramatically higher.
Handmade in beautiful Bellingham, Washington, the Shuksan uses only high-quality components, including:
- High-quality Wima, TDK and Wurth capacitors
- Lumberg or Neutrik jacks
- Pro-quality Gorva Design 3PDT switches
- Internal filtering for super-low-noise operation
- Extra-tough UV printed art for long lasting finish
- All-analog original circuit design
- Runs on standard center-negative 9V power supply only

Did you know that Mount Shuksan is a ‘glaciated massif in the North Cascades National Park’ according to Wikipedia. Either way, this pedal is a monster with top quality parts (GORVA stuff is immensely good) and is a great 3rd outing for Spun Loud.
