ZSTLOTH Sludge Fuzz

My pal Chris Kerr recently asked if I could build him an effect that would sound “heavy, fuzzy, and sludgy…like Metallica ‘Kill Em All’ dragged through Bongzilla ‘Stash’.”

There are a few circuits that can get to this territory, but I finally settled on a minimalized clone of the Mountainking Electronics MEGALITH.

I stripped the original circuit down a bit, where there is still room to manipulate the tone, but heaviest parts of this circuit are accentuated.  This is probably the most massive sounding thing I’ve built so far.

Hey Chris – if your neighbors currently like you, they will 100% be rethinking that friendship in a very short time.
