It's always fun to encounter a circuit that I know little about, and the Fuzz Master FM-3 is just that; an obscure, vintage fuzz circuit from the 70s. It also happens to be an inspiring sound to the guys at Evil Eye FX, and their Warg Fuzz is a modernized recreation of the FM-3 with some nice tweaks and improvements.
Warg is definitely in the Big Muff camp, with that classic wall of sound saturation and - at times - sizzling, scooped tone. Warg, however, introduces a flat EQ mode that brings out more midrange fullness and warms up the circuit to deliver rich, present saturation with tons of body.
At the end of the day, I get excited about pedals that help direct or transform my writing and playing, and Warg took me in a fun direction. It's perfect for that pop punk / post-punk type sound that I love from bands like The Band Camino and others, and this fuzz pedal quickly took me in that direction. But if guitar riffs are your thing, I think this pedal comes pre-loaded. So much singing sustain and beautifully savage fuzz saturation to drench your rock riffs in.
THANKS to Evil Eye FX for sending this pedal over to demo and sponsoring the video. Learn more about them and shop the Warg at evileyefx.com
