Adjustable bias allows you to tailor the response from classic gated fuzz (no hum when you don't play) to a smoother, always-on fuzz that cleans up with the guitar volume. Plenty of sustain either way.
Built using oldschool, high-voltage, axial capacitors, big 1/2 Watt carbon comp resistors (with a few exceptions), and 3 germanium transistors (metal-can AC127 models)
All hand wired with Switchcraft open-frame jacks.
Optimized for gooey, synthy fuzz with a bit of velcro on top and a hint of octave overtone
You can get plenty of variation from it by playing with the combination of the Gate and Attack knobs and your guitar volume.
True bypass, in/out/dc jacks all on back side
Size: Hammond 1590BB enclosure
5" long x 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" tall (including jacks and knobs)
"Hey Marc,
I received the pedal today, and I just want to let you know how much I love
it. I feel like every time I buy a fuzz that you've made, I've learned more
about fuzz and about my playing, and with this pedal in particular, I feel
like there's something magical happening. I don't know a ton about
3-transistor circuits like this one, but this pedal just feels right for
the way I play, and I absolutely love it.
Thank you!"
