A.C.P 円相 Ensō Fuzz with Oscillations

円相 Ensō, a foundational symbol in Zen Buddhism originating from Japanese calligraphy, is a hand-drawn circle typically created with a single, fluid brushstroke using black ink on white paper. It embodies profound concepts such as enlightenment (satori), the infinite void (mu), wholeness, imperfection, and the cyclical nature of existence. The circle's openness or closure, along with its deliberate asymmetry and visible brush marks, reflects the artist's state of mind—free, spontaneous, and unburdened by perfectionism—capturing a moment of pure expression where form and emptiness coexist.

Ensō serves as a minimalist yet evocative graphic motif. It mirrors the pedal's sonic essence: the "raw texture" unleashed by controls like Gate and Squeeze evokes the Ensō's imperfect, organic brushstroke, symbolizing untamed creativity and distortion that breaks from clean, structured sound. The EQ's toggle between bass-heavy punch and treble cut parallels the Ensō's balance of strength and subtlety, while the overall design's simplicity aligns with Zen principles of elegance and restraint, making the pedal not just a tool but a philosophical nod to mindful, expressive music-making. This integration transforms the pedal into a visual and auditory meditation on fuzz as an enlightened chaos—broad yet focused, thick yet sharp.
