Description

Edit description

While noisy, buzzy and sizzling Fuzz and Distortion sounds and general sonic heresy are indeed our medium, our reputation has felt somewhat unjustified and incomplete thus far. As such, it was our duty to release the planetary disorder unit that is the JPTR FX ADD VIOLENCE. Named after one of our favourite EPs, the ADD VIOLENCE is a forceful, recklessly loud and uncompromising Super Fuzz. It is our take on the Univox classic, but on a jet rocket in a tank - thanks to its powerful transistors (the heaviest hitters we could find) and hand selected Russian NOS germanium diodes from the 70s (tirelessly tracked down on eBay for each unit) and auxiliary controls. Disabling the diode switch results in a wholly more aggressive gated fuzz, with a raw, compressed and mid focused character. The diodes also provide an increase in volume, making the fuzz feel nearly twice as big. Engaging the diodes adds singing sustain and a very organic, dynamic breakup.
