Don’t be fooled by the name. The Little Guy isn’t so little when it comes to sound. This dual-effect powerhouse combines a versatile OTA-based phaser with a crushing op-amp fuzz, giving you everything from subtle movement to chaotic walls of texture.
On the phaser side, The Little Guy can drift with slow, sweeping modulation or dive headfirst into warped, wonky movement. With selectable LFO waveforms (triangle, upward sawtooth, downward sawtooth) and full control over speed, width, range, and feedback, it’s a phaser built for sculpting motion, not just adding swirl.
The fuzz circuit delivers snarling character with surprising dynamics. It cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob but still packs enough headroom to shift from gritty drive, to ripping distortion, to thick, saturated fuzz — all with a single knob sweep.
And thanks to a built-in send & return loop, The Little Guy drops into your rig seamlessly, letting you place other pedals between its fuzz and phaser stages without sacrificing your core signal.
