THE FUZZORIUS

This pedal is based upon the actual circuitry found within the fuzz channel of the vintage 'Acoustic 360' amplifiers, as used by Jaco Pastorius on his original recording and touring rig. 

The key to this pedals authentic, rich sounds is that each pedal uses a genuine, vintage Fairchild Germanium 2N1306 transistor. 

The Germanium fuzz offered with this pedal covers a wide range of rich, full, and diverse sounds and tones. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of styles and genres, vintage to modern. It can also be used on electric guitar. 



CONTROLS

Volume – This will effect the over all output volume of the pedal. It may have to be balanced in conjunction with other controls, such as your fuzz setting, which can also have an effect on the output volume of this pedal. 

Fuzz – The control will allow you to dial in the amount of fuzz effect. The fuzz available on this pedal is a uniquely sharp but smooth, thanks to rare, vintage, Fairchild Germanium Transistors – just like those found in the original circuits of the amplifiers used by Jaco Pastorius. There is a huge range of versatile fuzz tones available, which can be further altered in conjunction with the other controls on this pedal.

Attack – This will change the shape of your fuzz further, by altering the attack of the effect so that it can take on further audio characteristics. Experiment using the Attack and Fuzz controls together at different ratios to produce a wide range of different sounds from thick fuzz, to thin almost synth like razor sharp buzz-cut tones. 

Blend – A new feature only available on the ‘Deluxe Edition’, this control will allow you to blend in the sound of your bypassed tone. Great for when you dial in extreme sounds that can be over powering; use this to tame it back out by adding in a little bit of your amps clean channel sound. 

All controls are designed to work harmoniously together – experiment with various settings to unlock the huge range of fuzz sounds available with this pedal!
