Fuzz is the spitting, snarling and surly sound of rock legends past and present, the sound of rock and righteous indignation worldwide. The FUZZ from Jackson Audio takes faithful recreations of historic fuzz circuits and brings them together in one modular pedal that allows to create classic fuzz sounds as well as new fuzz sounds that are impossible with the original circuits. The idea of creating a modular fuzz came about as it was trying to be decided which style of fuzz would be the most musical fuzz of all time. The answer quickly became, "All of them!" All of them are different, and all of them bring something unique sonically.With the FUZZ, can update fuzz sound completely with analog plug-ins (sold separately) and turn pedal into a whole new pedal with a simple and affordable plug-in swap."In the 30 years since I began playing guitar, I have always loved fuzz pedals. I've bought countless versions of them over the years, but in my mind, they've always had a massive shortcoming. They desperately need more effective tone controls! That's why I designed the FUZZ with a 3-band, fully parametric EQ." - Brad Jackson EQ and especially the mids, are where the guitar makes its stand. Not enough mids and guitar is lost in the mix. Too much highs and tone is piercing and off-putting. Too much bass and compete sonically with the bass drum and bass player. With the parametric EQ on the FUZZ, have 9 controls at disposal to fully sculpt tone and make sure the riffs are laying down are never lost in the mix.OctaveA good fuzz and a good octave pedal go hand in hand. Jimi knew it. Stevie knew it. And know it. If want to put some purple in haze, 're going to need an octave pedal and the octave circuit in the FUZZ is outstanding.Blend ControlCovering everything from perfectly pure octave up to screaming splatting sonic mayhem, the octave circuit in the FUZZ is the perfect marriage of vintage and modern thanks to its unique octave Blend Control. The Blend Control mixes clean signal with the fuzz/octave signal so can dial in precisely how much octave effect want. Guys like Doyle Bramhall II use this to great effect by adding just a little octave to their sound, which gives it a little "lift".With the Blend Control fully counterclockwise, the octave circuit acts as a boost and is perfect for slamming the front of the fuzz circuit for more gain. Pro Tip: Boost + Fuzz Face = Tone Bender. This boost is also perfect for boosting the front of other pedals or just running as an always-on signal buffer/booster. With the Blend Control fully clockwise, there is no clean blend so signal is fully fuzzed out with however much fuzz/octave have dialed in with the Oct Control. Analog Plug-InsThe Fuzz comes stock with with two analog plug-ins. The Modern Fuzz (installed) and the Fuzz Classic/Vintage. So, right out of the box, have two completely different and versatile circuits to choose from.Modern Fuzz: From vintage-style fuzz at lower settings to snarling spitting fuzz at higher settings the Modern Fuzz plug-in does it all and cleans up beautifully when guitars volume control is lowered. This is the plug-in that the FUZZ ships with.Fuzz Classic/Vintage:Â The classic Fuzz with the smiley face. This plug-in has lower gain and a looser/softer feel. This plug-in is perfect for the earlier Jimi era tones. This is the additional plug-in the FUZZ ships with.Additional Plug-ins (Sold Separately)Modern Fuzz Deluxe: Like the Modern Fuzz plug-in, the Modern Fuzz Deluxe plug-in expands the tones available in this plug-in by adding two additional types of clipping. With the jumper set in the DIST (distortion) position, the clipping is smoother and with more headroom
