Design Notes

The Elk Sustainar is a Japanese variant of the more well-known “Triangle” BMP. During development, we used several vintage models of the BMP, as well as a few different versions of the Elk, and quickly realized all of them were wildly different. The only way we were going to truly capture the magic was to get our hands on her original pedal. Wata was kind enough to send her beloved pedal halfway across the world so we could see what made it tick. Right away, we realized it had something special that none of the others had – heavy saturation with a gritty edge and a massive bottom while still maintaining a clear and dynamic tone with enough mids and top end to cut through the sludge. We set out to faithfully recreate all these characteristics in the Hizumitas!

Controls

Volume Adjusts the output volume. Unity is around 9-10 o’clock. Sustain More distortion and sustain clockwise; less counterclockwise. Tone Boost bass frequencies clockwise and boost highs counterclockwise. This control has a massive effect on the character of the Hizumitas. Switching This device uses relay-based true bypass switching; it requires power to pass signal.
