FuzzFoot - The FuzzFoot
section is an improvement on the fuzz of fuzzes, the FuzzFace.
The FuzzFace has gone down in history as one of the most erratic,
but coolest sounding fuzz effects ever made. They all sounded
slightly different and each one would sound different at different
times. This is due to a number of variables including temperature,
transistor gain, battery level and pickup output levels. FuzzFaces
could sound dull, bright, smooth, gritty, and sometimes so choppy
that they were even unusable. The FuzzFoot circuit addresses all
of the common complaints about the FuzzFace, while retaining the
same basic germanium PNP transistor based circuit. The "Grit"
knob controls the transistor bias, which is the key to getting
the coolest sounds. The "Drive" knob gives much better
distortion control than the original "Fuzz" knob found
on the FuzzFace. Works great with wah wah pedals and is surprisingly
easy to tame.
Controls
Volume
Grit: Transistor bias control allows you to dial in a wide range of tones from farty to smooth to gritty.
Drive: Go from wimpy and dull to maximum brightness and sustain.
