Silicon Fuzz
User Manual
Silicon Fuzz is very similar to our Germanium Fuzz but with silicon transistors instead. The
results are a pedal that produces edgier fuzz tones with a brighter sound and more gain on
tap. The circuit interacts well with the guitar’s volume pot, though not as well as Germanium
Fuzz does. Apart from its awesome sound, the pedal is also completely unaffected by
temperature variations resulting in a very stable circuit that has consistent performance under
any condition.
We have sourced an amazing stock of rare and highly sought after NOS components; some
amazing NOS ERO capacitors, NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, and an
array of top grade NOS silicon transistors made by Toshiba and Philips. Our Silicon Fuzz
takes you ever so close to the mojo of vintage units.
We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals
together. Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise.
We use audio-grade shielded wire, Silver plated hookup wire, Alpha pots, genuine Vero
stripboard, all put together using Silver-based solder. The circuit is also housed in a durable
aluminium enclosure, professionally powder coated to our exact specification.
All in all, this is an amazing pedal that displays all the fine subtleties of the original units but
without the price tag.
