Palomar Sound Cholla

Handmade in Providence, Rhode Island, the Palomar Sound Cholla Fuzz takes inspiration from its namesake cactus—sharp, wild, and unexpectedly fierce. Designed as a modern, high-gain fuzz that breaks from convention, the Cholla delivers thick, grinding textures while maintaining clarity and definition, even through complex chord voicings.

At its core lies a unique circuit built around cascading op amps rather than traditional series transistors or clipping diodes. This design gives the Cholla its distinctive voice—heavy and articulate, with a dynamic response that keeps your tone powerful yet controlled. From warm saturation to biting aggression, the Cholla brings a versatile fuzz character unlike anything else.
