D*A*M DRAG'N'FLY - HYBRID FUZZ TONES

"Hybrid Fuzz Tones" What the hell does that mean? The Drag'n'Fly is a hybrid fuzz box as in it uses both a germanium and a silicon transistor within its circuit design. The advantage of this being you have the rich low frequency textures of the germanium transistor and the tight focused high end bite of the silicon. Its also helps to stabilise any temperature fluctuation problems you'd find with an all out germanium fuzz box and gives the overall tone more means to cut through whilst retaining a warm and full bodied flavour. The Flys circuit design at heart is essentially a derivative of the Arbiter Fuzz Face with certain combined elements of the Vox Tone Bender. In a nutshell, its my favourite elements of '68 silicon Fuzz Face and a '66 germanium Vox Tone Bender slightly tweaked for more gain, greater headroom, more tonal scope all rolled up in a compact user and wah-wah friendly package. For a "Yaff" it is a pretty unique sounding fuzz box that has some very interesting sonic capabilities.
