FUZ-1 Fuzzulator User’s Guide
There are three controls on the unit: Fuzz, Tone, and
Volume. The unit also features a mode switch be
-
tween Tight or Loose, plus a foot switch to bypass the
effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. On the
side there is a Trim Pot to set the overall gain of the
unit.
Fuzz: increases the gain of the distortion circuit which
increases the distortion and sustain of the unit.
Tone: a high cut filter, use it to make your sound
warmer and fatter.
Volume: this control sets the overall output of the
unit. Use this for level matching between the effected
and unaffected signal.
Tight/Loose switches between Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and Germanium Diodes
for the distortion generating devices. LEDs have a tight sound and are a bit louder.
Germanium Diodes have a looser, more classic fuzz sound, with less output volume.
Trim Pot sets the gain of the Fuzz output amplifier. It is useful to turn it up if you are
using the Germanium Diodes (Loose) as your primary distortion setting. Or you can
turn it down if the unit is too hot for your system.
Input/Output: There is a 1/4” input jack on the right-hand side of the pedal, and a
1/4” output jack on the left-hand side, with a battery switch on the input jack.
Power Supply: 9 volts DC, internal or external.
Internal: 9 volt battery (for battery access, remove the four screws on the sides of the
unit and pull apart).
