From sputtering 60s Rolling Stones to the Smashing Pumpkins to 8 bit Video Games to all out oscillation ........ this fuzz is versatile!
I purchased this pedal after months of research online and in local guitar shops. I really wanted a fuzz that worked well with both single coil pickups and humbuckers. Between the "ear" switch(which boosts high frequencies) and the internal trim pot, all pickup types are fair game! Let's take a look at the controls.
AWAKEN: True bypass footswitch that turns the pedal on or off
VOLUME: Boosts or lowers the overall level of the fuzz
FUZZ: This is your gain control. From slight boost to chewy velcro, there is plenty of gain on hand
WRATH: When engaged by the DOUBLE LIGHTNING BOLT foot switch, this knob adjusts the frequency(tone) of the oscillation. It also interacts with every other knob or switch on the pedal. You can create octave-down fuzz, ring-mod sounds, arpeggiating oscillation, uncontrollable oscillations, and synth-type sounds just by dialing the knobs!
PUTTER: Fully clockwise, your guitar signal is full and this pedal roars! As you turn back the Sputter knob you signal starts to, um... well... sputter! This might be my favorite knob on the pedal! It really makes this pedal expressive to your pick attack and guitar volume knob.
LIGHTNING TOGGLE SWITCH: Switched to the left, your pedal has gobs of fuzzy overdrive and distortions tones! Switched to the right? Double your gain and ask Santa for a new set of ear drums! So. much. gain. Helpful if you hear too well or if you switch from humbuckers to single coil pickups regularly.
BRIGHTNESS TOGGLE(EAR): Engaging the Ear switch adds brightness to already dark humbuckers making this fuzz pedal more versatile than most!
INTERNAL TRIM POT: Adjusts the master bias of the pedal. You have the power to make this pedal even more sputtery or even more sustainy... these are technical terms, I assure you.
This pedal uses a 9 volt battery or Boss style adapter with wall wart or pedal power supply. If you don't like those options........this pedal is an expensive paperweight! Which would be sad.
Enjoy!
