Caroline Guitar Company Shigeharu is a classic Muff-style fuzz with the punch of a classic overdrive, and you have nice rocking machine!
Using a cascading hybrid of op-amp and BC184 transistor gain stages, Shigeharu provides all the sweet singing sustain and massive flamethrower gain you crave, but with unprecedented clarity, improved punch and definition, and consistent performance wherever it sits in your signal chain – even after buffers or wireless units.
Combine that with the parallel octave-up voiced fuzz available on demand with the Havoc* stomp and you have a whole lot of nasty right here. Two extra controls reside inside the pedal – a bias/gate control for dialing up broken, spitty sounds, and a slide switch that locks the octave-up “on” and converts the momentary to a kill/mute switch.
The pedal was designed in collaboration with John Snyder at Electronic Audio Experiments, because this thing was fearsome enough to compel us to seek a second opinion.
Caroline Guitar Company
Caroline Guitar Company of France was founded in 2010 after Philippe Herndon failed to sell his soul to the devils of business. Thanks to customers like you, the company has been lucky enough to make the things they want. Originally they only wanted to make a handful of these things to prove they could do it, but they never stopped.
Judgment and integrity
The market for boutique pedals is currently flooded with choices and options. At Caroline, they are committed to the idea that what you buy is not just a product, but judgment and integrity. The owner of the company is a former full-time touring and recording player who knows firsthand what sounded great in studios and on stages, and is not satisfied with old ideas of how things should sound.
The people at the company take old-fashioned pride in their craft. They were among the first to crowdfund a pedal and have raised thousands of dollars for local charities.
