Key Features
The Collision Devices TARS Fuzz Filter Pedal is a powerful blend of gritty fuzz and analogue filter magic. Inspired by synth circuits and built for bold sonic exploration, it takes you from subtle drive to chaotic distortion, all sculpted through a sweeping low-pass filter based on the iconic MS-20 design. With handmade controls and a striking black and white finish, it's as tactile as it is tonal.
Loaded with switches for serial or parallel routing, added fuzz layers, and filter curve selection, TARS offers deep control and wild textures. An expression/CV input opens even more modulation options, making it the perfect pedal if you're after some experimental textures. It's a fuzz pedal with a filter brain, built to push your sound beyond the event horizon.

The Collision Devices TARS Fuzz Filter Pedal is a unique fusion of guitar fuzz and analogue filtering, crafted to deliver tones you won't find in a traditional stompbox. By combining a powerful fuzz circuit with a resonant low-pass filter inspired by the legendary Korg MS-20, TARS allows you to shape and morph your sound in real time. You can create thick, velvety drive tones or push into glitchy, modulated chaos—all in a compact and tactile format. It’s a versatile tool that bridges the gap between synth-style modulation and raw guitar fuzz, offering a wide spectrum of sonic possibilities.
At the heart of the TARS lies a low-pass filter circuit based on the LM13700, delivering that unmistakable MS-20-style resonance and sweep. You can carve your tone with surgical precision using the CutOff and Resonance faders, going from subby warmth to aggressive, peak-heavy textures. The 2p/4p toggle switch allows you to select between two filter slopes, offering either a smoother -12dB/octave roll-off or a sharper -24dB/octave for more dramatic filtering. This flexibility makes the TARS ideal for anyone looking to add movement and depth to their fuzz tones, from subtle tonal shifts to complete frequency meltdowns.
Beyond its core fuzz and filter architecture, TARS includes several thoughtful features that push it into experimental territory. The Add Fuzz toggle allows you to introduce an additional unfiltered fuzz path into the mix, boosting volume and creating unpredictable interactions depending on your filter settings. Meanwhile, the S/P switch gives you the choice between serial and parallel routing, so you can decide if the fuzz should feed directly into the filter or run alongside it. These options expand the pedal’s versatility, encouraging exploration and unlocking new textures that respond dynamically to your playing.
TARS doesn’t just sound unique—it looks and feels that way too. Each pedal comes finished in a clean white casing with handmade silver knobs and sliders crafted in France, offering a distinctly boutique aesthetic. The layout is intuitive and inviting, giving you quick access to all the essential controls. It also features an Expression/CV input linked to the CutOff fader, so you can sweep the filter live using an expression pedal or integrate it into modular rigs. With true bypass switching and a recommended isolated 9V power supply, this pedal is built for performance and sonic exploration on stage or in the studio.
