- Welcome back to the teardown series, where I take apart new and interesting pedals, and show you what's going on inside.
This week features the Earthquaker Devices Hizumitas, a popular new 4-transistor derivative based on a specific unit of the Elk Sustainar, owned by Wata of Boris.
Please enjoy, and feel free to recommend a pedal you'd like to see on a future teardown episode!

In my humble opinion, this is the best-sounding most balanced big muff I have ever tried! it is a keeper for sure.
Great video. I recommend going and watching the "designer notes" on the earthquaker channel. It's a good recap of why the pedal was made and why it has some smaller changes to it's circuit.
this is the exact type of content I was looking for man. outstanding work!
Thank you for taking the time to get one and fully taking it apart, as I was wondered since a while about the tech behind the Hizumitas.
Thank you for this teardown! It makes the schematic build for the Hizumitas easier to understand. I've been into building guitar pedals and this is a great way to learn how to rebuild it.
Digging this teardown series. Would love to see more EarthQuaker stuff in general.
Would be curious to see some other Muff variant teardowns - the Honey Pot Fuzz in particular is quite mysterious, and I'd like to see how close the Bass Big Muff/Nano is to the Green Muff and it's reissue.
Great circuit breakdown. I’m a huge fan of the Uncle Doug / Psionic Audio type channels and Gray Bench is a great way to round out the series of audiophile content. Happy new year and Thank you for the content.
This is really cool how you break this down ,nice to see because I'm gonna be building a clone soon.
Remember the hizumitus is modeled after Watas exact pedal as no two elks sound the same acording to EQD
Excellent video, and just what I've been looking for in trying to find the differences between the Elk Fuzz Sustainar and the Hizumitas, so Thank you! One question though, the R23 resistor in the schematic that replaces the Elk 1k, is that an 820R or an 820k?
That was awesome! I wanted to see this bad. I didn't think anyone would have done it yet. I don't know if it's really their "interpretation" of the Elk Sustainer so much as Jamie and Wata's personal 70's units. In the EQD launch video, Jamie said that he started off with an NPN interpretation of his personal Elk Big Muff. I'm sure he used the base schematic as a guide but he said he disassembled and measured the components of his. When that didn't end up the same as Wata's personal Big Muff, she sent it to him and he them matched the components to hers.
Them bunny's is Jackalope's. 🤣
That panasonic style film cap is looks like JB capacitors from Taiwan. To me, they are best audio grade film capaciotr. However it's really hard to get. BYOC using JB capacitors for their kit.
Nice as always! Do you think that spring is useful when the GND is tied from the DC jack to the input and output jacks?
Nice video! What kind of bypass circuitry are EQD using? 555 Timer? Microcontroller? NAND Logic?

It criminal that u dont have more subscriptions man 🤦
How would one go about modding this pedal to remove the scooped mids? I find it unusable in a band setting. I'd like to have better control over mids and overall tone to make it worth the money. Thanks!
