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.
