Skreddy Pedals Serenity Fuzzdrive

Smooth, sweet amp-like gain that goes from cleanish boost to transparent overdrive to compressed sustain while retaining the guitar's essential voice throughout

The Skreddy Pedals™ Serenity Fuzzdrive:

Transparent and full range, but without boosting unpleasant or "congested" low-midrange frequencies; you control the emphasis and balance of the prominent frequency ranges

Even-handed low end; not boomy, not thin

Incredibly smooth, harmonically-rich, liquid sustain, like a mega compressor cascading into a high-gain boost, when Fuzz and Hot are cranked

Low noise but clear and lively

Perfectly balanced sound that carries from cleanish all the way into fuzz

Class A overdrive / distortion / fuzz with no clipping diodes, no op-amps, and no active tone controls

Natural EQ footprint with special attention paid to phase integrity of the audio signal

The effect is a very straightforward sound that evokes the feel of your guitar plugged directly into a cooking tube amp at low gain settings and a boosted yet transparent fuzz at high gain settings.

Works just as well as a foundational drive as it does as a solo boost.

Magically flexible gain that lets the strings sing

Can go from mild, open overdrive to near-infinite sustain, maintaining the guitar's clarity, sweetness, and eq footprint all along the way

There is an in-between state here between fuzz and tube amp, between liquid sustain and airy articulation, between having its own voice and retaining the guitar's voice while propelling it into the high-gain realm.

Controls:

VOL: Tons of volume: finds unity gain around 9:00 or 10:00 o'clock depending on the strength of your pickups. Lots of boost available.
FUZZ: Adjusts the gain of the distortion section for a huge range between clean and cranked-amp-style fuzz that still holds the guitar's sound together rather than imparting its own "fuzz" tone to it.
HOT: Adjusts the input gain; goes from an un-colored chimey sound counterclockwise to a sustaining, compressed sound clockwise. Also adds lots more smoothness and slightly darkens the signal when turned up (due to the Miller Effect), so if you want a brighter, more articulate tone, adjust this down.
PRES: Opens up, or dampens, the top end; neutral in the center, transparent and bright at full up and mildly dark all the way down while still retaining the mids.
BODY: Adjusts the basic nature of the voice via the balance of lower mids and upper mids going into the distortion stage: neutral at around 3:00 o'clock (it is biased toward a fatter tone, so you'll really have to crank this to dial out the low end), more articulate and cutting fully clockwise, thick and smooth at noon, and extra bottom end fully counter-clockwise.

Power

Regular 9v negative ground, no special power requirements. Can accept 18v if extra clarity and punch is desired. 9v battery is not included. If you use a battery, then remember to un-plug the input cable from the pedal’s input jack when not in use to prevent draining (or you can also just plug in a power-supply, which disconnects the battery).

You may supply external power through an AC adapter. All Skreddy Pedals accept the industry-standard 9v DC plug (5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax), negative tip. Please use a quality, regulated, filtered power supply.
