Features & Overview
Vintage-inspired Fuzz: Based on the iconic Fuzz Face design from the 1960s, using silicon transistors for a rich, powerful sound.
Simple yet Versatile Controls: Easily dial in your tone with intuitive controls for LEVEL, FUZZ, and a BRIGHT/JUICY switch for tone shaping.
True Bypass: Ensures a clean, uncolored signal when the pedal is off.
Powered by 9V Battery or Adapter: Convenient power options for any setup.
Getting Started
1. Connect your guitar to the input jack and your amp to the output jack.
2. Power up the pedal using either a 9V battery or a standard center-negative 9V adapter.
3. Adjust the controls: - Set the FUZZ knob to maximum for classic fuzz tones. - Use the LEVEL knob to adjust the overall volume. - Experiment with your guitar's volume control to access cleaner tones.
Tone Shaping with the Bright/Juicy Switch - BRIGHT mode: Produces a sharper, clearer tone. Great for cutting through a mix. - JUICY mode: Adds thickness and warmth to the fuzz, giving a more saturated sound.

Power Options
