“Canoga works brilliantly plugged into an amp with a bit of hair on the tone already”: FAO Jimi Hendrix fans, Strymon expands analogue range with the vintage Fuzz Face-inspired Canoga

The Strymon Canoga is a simple two-knob silicon fuzz and is part of the digital effects brand's Series A analogue range.

You all know Strymon. It’s one of the market leaders in digital guitar effects pedals, fully featured, MIDI-compatible beasts such as the modern classic Timeline delay pedal and the BigSky reverb pedal. But lately we are seeing another side to the company.

Its adventures in analogue stompbox design are gathering pace with the launch of the Canoga, a two-knob fuzz pedal with a silicon circuit inspired by a vintage Fuzz Face and designed by Strymon CEO and analogue engineer Gregg Stock.
