Plug it in and play!
Connect your
VFZ Custom Shop Vintage Fuzz
pedal as shown below.
Ensure the guitar is plugged directly into the VFZ (nothing between guitar and pedal but a high
quality cable).
Set the knobs as shown then turn on the pedal (power switch “up”). Turn on the amplifier.
Play some lead in the middle of the neck… Adjust the controls to taste.
Control functions
The Level control sets the output level of the pedal. Due to the vintage nature of the circuit,
the level control will interact with the amplifier input circuit. Because of this, changing the level
may result in subtle changes in tone. This is normal.
The Drive control sets the amount of fuzz. Many users set this control to maximum (full
clockwise) and control the pedal with picking dynamics and the guitar volume control.
The Trim control allows adjustment of the “woofiness” of the pedal. Set it wherever sounds
best to you. Turned all the way counter-clockwise (left) the trim control is removed from the
circuit and the response is closest to vintage. With the Drive control on full, try setting the
Trim more counter-clockwise (left) for lead, and more clockwise (right) for chording.
We care about Tone!
Your
VFZ
pedal was designed in North America by fellow musicians. Because we live here,
we understand how a pedal should sound for the music you like to play. Our certified
engineers also know how to make pedals that are tough, reliable, and easy to use.
DingoTone cares about TONE. And our standards are high. All our pedals have great tone,
great feel, and sound fantastic live.
All DingoTone pedals are hand built in our factory in North America using premium parts
sourced extensively from North America and Europe. We use vintage design and
manufacturing techniques wherever possible, and we purchase vintage specification
components where available.
