FUZZYMOTO

They are very VERY large (appoximately 7"x4"x4"). This first run was limited to 40 units mostly due to the fact that the housing was of limited availability (it is a part of a pressure washer cart that we found as byproduct from another business). After drilling the housing, fuzzy fabric was attached to the housing via Loctite epoxy (yeah, it's NEVER coming off). The bottom plate is sheet aluminum which is hand etched with our logo, the pedal name and the unit number. Each etching is unique as each was first handdrawn then etched one at a time... no real template to work from aside from looking at the one made right before it. The circuit itself is a bit similar to that of the original Fuzz Face with quite a few changes in resistance and capacitance throughout in order to make it respond to and output the frequencies most desired along the entire gain spectrum of the unit. The only thing the same, really, is that it is a dual NPN transistor style fuzz. To be more accurate, the pedal works like a fantastic overdrive up to about 90% gain then works like an insane fuzz from 90%-100% gain. It is very responsive to volume control adjustments made at the guitar while playing, allowing for the player to achieve an almost complete clean tone if manipulated skillfully at the guitar. Also, we found that dropping the tone pot on the guitar to zero actually INCREASES the high frequency output of the fuzz unit... rather strange, but certainly useful and sounds GREAT. When the pedal is pushed (90% or more on BOTH the gain and volume pots), it tends to octave a bit, but not super fat like other pedals do which are designed to be octave/fuzzes. This is more a natural byproduct of a very hot dual transistor circuit that sounds great, but is prone to feedbacking if tried in the wrong surroundings.
