CC Hybrid is a stand-alone pedal that contains the same
Silicon/Germanium fuzz face circuit as the original Captain Coconut
and Captain Coconut2 and (to my knowledge) it’s the first example
of a commercially available pedal to use one germanium and one
silicon transistor in the classic Fuzz Face circuit. It combines the
warm, dark organic tone of germanium with the clarity and sustain
of silicon. CC Hybrid gives you the best of both. Since 2000, I've
had people asking for custom pedals made with this circuit and now
it's finally available as a standard Foxrox product.

CC Hybrid
Features:
Volume - Set the volume you like, compensate for level changes when
adjusting the Grit and Fuzz controls.
Fuzz - Controls the amount of gain in the circuit. Typical setting is all
the way up, or backed off a little.
Grit - controls bias voltage to the transistors. This lets you go from
smooth to choppy and everything in between. Typical setting is 11:00.
Past the 2:00 setting the sound takes on a restricted, gated quality.
The extreme range of the Grit control is effected by the voltage coming
into the pedal. Above 9Volts, grit stays smooth at the max setting.
Below 9Volts, grit can sound choppy at gated as low as the 1:00 set-
ting. If you notice this - don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with the
pedal! Just set it for the sound you like.
Input trim - There's a trimmer inside for backing the input level down
a little. Just like having your guitar volume turned down. It’s preset all
the way up.
POWERING THE PEDAL: CC Hybrid is a PNP fuzz. This means
that it has a positive ground. If you use a battery, there is no volt-
age issue at all. If you use a wall wart or a pedal board power sup-
ply with isolated grounds there is no special wiring required. The
power connector is wired just like most guitar pedals - 2.1mm,
center negative. The only time you'll run into a power problem is if
you try to daisy chain the power from other pedals. Most pedals
are negative ground and will cause a voltage short the second you
try to patch them together.
Connections:
Input and Output 1/4” TRS. Battery connection is made when plug is inserted
into Input jack. Remove when not in use.
Power - 9V Battery or external 9 Volts DC via 2.1 mm DC jack. Power jack is
wired Center = Negative. CC Hybrid is a Positive ground pedal, so you can
NOT daisy chain power with other pedals.
