Hutchison Fuzz Sustainer

***Fall 2025 Restock with Rough-Buff enclosures!***

There are so many ways to describe a Big Muff: creamy, crushing, thick, pummeling, deep, saturated, compressed, massive, classic. The Hutchison Fuzz Sustainer is all of those things, for sure, but it's also a little different. Designed around an old, outdated integrated circuit (an LM3900), the Hutchison has its own unique character that sets it apart - it's almost a Big Muff but not exactly.

• Low gain crunch?
  • Yep.
• Full-range for use with guitars at any tuning and bass guitars?
  • Yep. 
• Top-end clarity and note definition even at highest gain? 
  • Oh yeah. 
• Cleans up with the guitar's volume knob?
  • Seriously, I wasn't even planning on that being a thing but it works
• Tone control that tames top-end fizz without losing any thick and creamy low end?
  • I'm calling it a presence control rather than a tone control, and there's still a hint of scooped mids for a vintage tone without losing its place in the mix. 

A note on the enclosures: They are mini with top jacks and will probably not get along well with patch cables with "pancake" jacks. 

What do you get when you love fuzz and already have all of the Big Muff tones but are looking for more? Not quite a Big Muff - the Hutchison Fuzz Sustainer.
