FUZZY BRIT GUIDE TO CONTROLS
(in order of signal flow)
Independent SansAmp Section:
DRIVE A and DRIVE B
Adjusts the overall amount of gain and overdrive, similar to when the
output section of a tube amp is being pushed. The first half of the rota-
tion will increase the volume as well as the overdrive.
CHAR A and CHAR B
Both Char A and Char B have the same range as each other. They
sweep through an entire range of tonal possibilities associated with
Marshall-style amplifiers. In addition to modifying the frequency re-
sponse, Character also influences the attack and drive characteristics.
Therefore, you may need to adjust your gain and tone settings after
tweaking the Character control.
Range of Settings:
• Below 12 o’clock
bring you the Bluesbreaker/JTM45® era of British
blues-- warm, overdriven tone with the characteristic bulldog bite.
• Nearing 12 o’clock
brings you into the Plexi range with a noticeable
throatiness in the mids.
• Above 12 o’clock
gets you the classic presence boost of the ‘70s Metal-
face.
• Full up
it goes to 11. That’s right, 11.
LOW, MID, HIGH
On-board post-EQ section gives you full control, like having a studio
mixing board at your fingertips. Unlike passive tone controls that only
cut, these active controls cut and boost ±12dB. Low is tuned to 125 Hz;
High frequency is 3.2 kHz. Mid is tuned to 1kHz.
VOL A and VOL B
Adjusts the volume of the SansAmp section.
Independent Fuzz Section:
FUZZ
Adjusts the overall amount of fuzz. Highly interactive with the level of
your guitar. For instance, you can clean up the amount of fuzz by de-
creasing the guitar’s volume (except in very extreme settings) without
having to change the setting on the pedal. Conversely, you can increase
the amount of fuzz by simply increasing the guitar’s volume.
TONE
Very musical, specialized low pass filter that shifts the high cut from
10kHz to 1kHz. It allows you to remove the high end without losing
mids or getting muddy.
LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the Fuzz section.
SPEAKER SIMULATION
Speaker simulation is an integral part of the SansAmp circuitry. It is de-
signed for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-
miked cabinet, without the peaks, valleys, and notches associated with
single miking. The shape of the speaker curve will not adversely effect
or interfere with the frequency response of your own cabinet. The
speaker simulation works in tandem with the EQ controls to custom
tailor the overall sound.
Fuzzy Brit:
tuned to match English Greenback-style speakers.
