BYOC E.S.V. Fuzz Germanium Instructions Manual Download Page 27

Operating Overview 

 

Fuzz: Pretty simple – turn it clockwise to get more fuzz.  But with germanium, it’s sometimes 
better to turn the fuzz knob all the way up and use your guitar’s volume knob as the actual fuzz 
control.  
 
Volume:  Really?  If you need this explained to you, you probably weren’t capable of building the 
pedal in the first place. 
 
Power supply:  Normal standard 2.1mm negative tip 9VDC power supply 
 
Current Draw:  2.5mA 
 
Input Impedance:  1Meg ohms 
 
Output Impedance:  500k ohms
