FETTO Jr: Streamlined Overdrive, Pure Tone
Great Distortion At Any Volume
Introducing the FETTO Jr., a streamlined overdrive pedal that traces its roots to the original…
FETTO Nord from 2008. It maintains the same core sound engine but strips away the boost function and the toggle switches for a more straightforward approach.
Designed for those who value simplicity and raw tone over extra features, the FETTO Jr. offers just three controls: Drive, Tone, and Volume. It's all about pure, unfiltered sound.
If you're looking for a dependable, no-nonsense overdrive effect that delivers heavy tones without complication, the FETTO Jr. stands out as a top contender.
The Essence of FETTO: Classic Overdrive Tone
Designed to capture the timeless tone of its larger siblings – the earlier FETTO Standard and the current FETTO Nord+, the FETTO Jr. delivers the same core voice in a smaller, more focused form.
At its heart lies the same well-crafted overdrive engine, minus the extra boost. The result is powerful, high-quality tone in a format built for players who need only the essentials.
Distilled to its core, the FETTO Jr. offers reliable, full overdrive without sacrificing what made the original great. It keeps what matters and removes what doesn’t.
Simple Yet Effective Controls
FETTO Jr. Control knobs:
Drive: In addition to the gain for everything from a slight boost to a full rich gritty overdrive (sounding like a valve amplifuer all the way).
Tone: Passive tone control, refines the character from darker to more sharp/aggressive.
Volume: Sets the output to an appropriate level to be well heard in the mix.
Bypass Flexibility: True or Buffered
Unique to the FETTO Jr. is the option for bypass modes. Via a foot-switch, true bypass – which leaves your tone virgin when the pedal is off – or buffered bypass is easily engaged via a small slide-switch on the side of the pedal. This flexibility in options ensures your signal stays strong even in more complex setups and makes the FETTO Jr. more versatile in a variety of playing situations.
Compact Design Without Sacrifice
Compact in design, FETTO Jr. fits neatly on your pedalboard without wasting space.
Small yet durable, its body is built from quality materials ready for rehearsals and live stages alike. Despite its size, it never compromises on tone. The focused layout is deliberate. Everything essential, nothing unnecessary.
Whether you are downsizing your board or simply want a straightforward overdrive that delivers without fuss, FETTO Jr. does exactly that.

Original Sound, Not Another Clone

This is a carefully crafted creation focused on delivering rich, fully analog sound without rewriting the classics. If you need a versatile overdrive that brings depth and character without unnecessary features, the FETTO Jr. is built exactly for that.

This is a carefully crafted creation, paying deep attention to ensuring rich, all analog sound without rewriting the classics. If you’re in need of a versatile overdrive that imparts depth and character without all the distractions from superfluous features, then the FETTO Jr. is tailor-made for this.
GREAT DISTORTION AT ANY VOLUME
The FETTO Jr. isn't your typical overdrive/distortionpedal. It's tailored to enrich the distinctive qualities of valve amps, infusing warmth, harmonics, and that sought-after creamy distortion. Paired with our amplifiers, like the Himmelstrutz 8, the Gnome (50) or the Space Gnome (50), it's a perfect complement. These amps don't just imitate; they enhance, bringing out the unique characteristics of valve amps – they may / can replace them. The FETTO Jr. adds depth to these exceptional tones – at Himmelstrutz, touch sensitivity isn't a feature; it's a standard. It captures every nuance in your playing, offering an immersive and expressive musical experience.

GREAT OVERDRIVE AT ANY VOLUME
FETTO Jr. – great array of musical overdrives at any volume.
1 – String separation/definition as a real valve amplifier, all the way from smooth overdrive to heavy distortion (not “Metal”)
2 – Never lose the character of your instrument or amplifier – what goes in comes out!
3 – Designed to match the volume control on your guitar perfectly!
Most guitar pedals sounds just like that: like a pedal! Not the case with the FETTO’s, they sound and feel like a natural extension of your amp, not a filtered “model” of a specific amp.
