Bias: Set the bias control near the gold dot, which is a good starting point for classic germanium fuzz sounds. The gold
dot represents the approximate spot where the output transistor’s bias is at the midpoint of the 9V power supply at
room temperature. Smooth round fuzz resides here.
Bias settings from approximately 9 o’clock to minimum render gated fuzz sounds that spit and sputter similar to early
fuzz units heard on classic songs like Spirit in the Sky and Satisfaction. Sustained notes and chords disintegrate and
crumble as they trail off.
As always, use your ears to find bias control settings that suit you. If it sounds good to you, it is good!
Have fun and make noise!
