New Suhr Rufus Fuzz Guitar Effect Pedal, Black Edition

Rufus is a unique pedal that offers a vast array of fuzz tones. We’ve added an extremely dynamic and tactile octave-up effect. We focused our development on creating a powerful, easy-to-play octave-up that responds evenly across all of your instrument’s pickup selections and the entire fingerboard – effortlessly delivering the iconic “Band of Gypsys” tone at your fingertips.

MF(X) TECHNOLOGY

Switch between Rufus’ two modes (normal and octave up) mid-performance by pressing and holding the footswitch.

BEYOND TRADITIONAL

Designed for ultimate versatility, Rufus is equipped with a full featured 3-Band EQ that gives you the ability to easily shape Rufus’ tone without compromising the sound of your guitar or bass rig. Did we just say bass? Yes, we did. Rufus is an equal-opportunity fuzz pedal that plays well with guitars and basses – no need to worry about losing your bottom-end here. We set out to make the octave effect easier to play than traditional octave fuzzes and be present across the entire fretboard.

ONE PEDAL, TWO MODES

Created to enhance your overall playing experience, we developed Multi-Function Technology mf(x). mf(x) is a proprietary foot switch technology that enables you to seamlessly select between Rufus’ two distinct user modes, Normal and Octave, during a performance just by holding down its footswitch. Would you like to default to one mode in particular the next time you turn on Rufus? Not a problem - mf(x)has built-in memory that remembers your last mode choice.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• True Bypass: Rufus is true-bypass via a relay. This function allows for the remote switching and the battery monitor feature. The relay produces less popping when switching the pedal on and off.
• FX Link: The FX Link connector allows the pedal’s switching function to be controlled from an external switch pedalboard loop switcher or any other custom interface. FX Link also provides the ability to power up in the On/Off state.
• Low Battery Monitor: Rufus incorporates a unique battery monitor that alerts the user to low battery conditions. In addition the battery monitor will automatically switch the pedal to True Bypass if the battery voltage is too low for the circuitry to correctly operate.
