OKKO FX Holy Grit - Overdrive Fuzz Preamp

okkofx.company.site/
The Okko FX Holy Grit is a versatile preamp that allows everything from subtle grit to vintage singing fuzz and even collapsing tube amp saturation. Spring-boarding off the classic silicon transistor Fuzz Face and Tone Benders of the past, the Holy Grit offers much more control of the gain range and frequencies at either end of circuit. The pre-gain bass is helpful to reduce bloated fuzz tones or neck pickup mud or it can encourage extra compression and fatness with low output pickups. A post-gain treble is there to fine tune the overall warmth but there’s plenty more to help shape the texture thanks to a 3-way Bias switch. Up is the highest headroom which helps clean up the overall sound and minimize compression while the middle setting goes in the opposite direction with starved, velcro-like fuzztones. The Downward setting gives you a sweet spot that can add some fuzzy texture to an overdriven tone or give heavier distortion a bit more headroom and tightness. Unlike many fuzzes, the Holy Grit has a clever switchable buffer to overcome pedal placement issues, which also adds a bit of sparkle to the whole sound. Okko FX have been at it since 2003 and build the Holy Grit one at a time with great care in Liepzig Germany.

I’ve had one of these for about 6 months and I’m amazed how many overdrive roles it fulfills for me. This thing is amazing. 🤘😃🎸

[@08154212]

Love your demos since ages! Keep up the good work ❤️

[@AndyDemos]

I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching all this time.

[@Pedal_Gong_Show]

Hi Andy, my dear . I've been watching your videos for almost two decades now, no matter who you've worked for. You are my absolute hero and what a great role model for me to get started myself. I saw this demo for the first time a few months ago. I already knew the pedal, because the company shown was a German one. OKKO is here in DE, a relatively large role, with its Diabolo or Coca Compressor. Today my new pedal arrived, I just unpacked it and will test it right away. It is the . HOLY GRIT. Before that, I just wanted to watch your great demo again to get some inspiration. May God protect you, your loved ones and your work. #infuzzwetrust #ich_fuzz_es_nicht. Greetings from DE from a #Fanboy.

The Sabbath at the end was glorious!

[@davidwonpu353]

Andy I literally cannot wait for your Duke of Tone demo!

[@AndyDemos]

Thanks, I hope I get one soon!

[@andersrandom]

Wauw what a fantastic pedal and awesome playing Andy 👍👍👍👍👍

[@AndyDemos]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@AlexAlexAlexMartin]

A perfect demo! Thanks 🙏

[@jimnewearthblues1672]

🔊OKKO did it again, awesome pedal! Just as the Diablo🎸

[@julianlanfra]

sos crack andy, un abrazo!

[@Ryan_Q3L]

Hole in the Sky just sounded massive!

[@AndyDemos]

Thank you! Sure was fun 💥

[@xaviervonbuchwald5243]

Fantastic pedal.

[@komagome03]

Great Demo as usual. I also heard some Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats around 12:00.

[@belo1971]

He plays fantastic…but with his fingers ! Which adds a lot of warmth. Does it sound as good with a pick ? 😅

[@AndyDemos]

Picks change attack but not tone. If you hear me strike a chord with a pick or fingers the chord ringing out with sound exactly the same 👍🏻

[@pjmtry7]

That whole breakup at 12:05 with the Humbuckers!

[@williamnapolitano1550]

It does have a great rhythm tone

[@iwannarockon2010]

Tasty licks indeed! 🤘

[@medcabmarc2320]

@Mattoverse shirt!!! 👍👍

[@npgrafik6582]

Great playing, Okkos are also great, whats the song at the beginning?

[@AndyDemos]

Thanks so much! The intro was something I wrote just for the demo.

[@HeinzRebellius]

Great German pedal!!

[@AndyDemos]

Yes indeed!

[@drew2936]

Hey I have that shirt (and two of his pedals)!

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I was just thinking to myself, “I hope someone somewhere someday makes an overdrive pedal.” And here one is! Kismet synchronicity!

[@LukeBlase]

Is that a Tru-fi Color Driver by your right arm? 😀

[@AndyDemos]

Yes, the 9v version 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LukeBlase]

@@AndyDemos very cool. I have their Spider Fuzz, and it has dethroned the EQD Park Fuzz as my favorite fuzz pedal. I definitely recommend it, if you haven't tried it already.

[@granthambeard]

MUDDY FUDGERS!! Here's one I can just leave on and do it all from the guitar, hooray!/oh no! 😂

[@KevinSmith-wb4ju]

1 please, thanks!

[@horstdunoch3546]

DON VITO

[@sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet]

Is this what he's playing to begin with? Which song?

[@horstdunoch3546]

@@sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet nope. the guitarist of this band (Don Vito) makes those pedals.

[@tonya4157]

Needs more... fuzz

[@AndyDemos]

6:00

[@tylersawyer9837]

Very nirvana in utero

[@WyattBrown377]

Preamp is the latest pedal industry buzzword that is losing all meaning. This pedal sounds great and looks like a versatile fuzz but it's not really what I would consider a preamp.

[@JohnsDough1918]

Yeah. If it can't properly drive a power amp by itself, it's not a guitar preamp.

[@H82BUagain]

Andy is been my guy for quite a while, I had to stop though, I was getting flooded with online scammers, but it is from YT and Insta mostly, but I am super naive, or was, only took one time for them to add me to whatever list they have, trying to check it out more again, love the demo!
