Non-Human Audio Water Bear | Glitchy Synth-Fuzz Pedal

1 item left

Unleash the strange, microscopic chaos of the Water Bear, a 5-transistor fuzz designed for players who crave textures beyond the ordinary. This isn't your standard vintage reissue—it’s a living, breathing circuit that reacts to your playing with a distinct synthy attack and unpredictable glitches that jump and stutter as your notes decay.

With a minimalist interface consisting of just Volume and Control, the Water Bear offers a surprisingly wide palette of grit:

  • Biting & Glitchy: Crank the control for sharp, jagged artifacts and rhythmic instability.
  • Smooth & Thick: Dial it back for a massive wall of fuzz that retains a unique harmonic character.
  • 8-Bit Evolution: Roll back your guitar’s volume knob to transform the pedal into a gated, low-fi synth engine reminiscent of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), without the complex setup.

Hand-Built Craftsmanship

Every Water Bear is born in the Non-Human Audio workshop. From the hand-built circuitry to the enclosures finished right in my backyard, each pedal is a unique piece of functional art. Because of this artisanal process, your pedal will have its own individual character and may vary slightly in appearance from the photos.
