Seamlessly switch between a muff and a fuzz face with one toggle.
If you are not familiar with these, the fuzz face is a beautifully fuzzy circuit- that has a vintage sound to it- this circuit is really, really special because of its age and the energy transfers that have been poured into it by some of the best musicians of all time.
A very psychedelic sounding fuzz that shaped music forever.
The muff- is another iconic sound. It really needs no introduction, but I will say some words in case you are unfamiliar.
This stompbox came to be as a custom request- and he asked that I put a mascis style muff in it, which from my research, is a violet rams head muff.
The big muff is in a different ball park than the fuzz face. While theoretically, they are the same effect, they do not feel or sound anything like each other. The muff is much more of a weird, fuzz/distortion hybrid. It has a completely unique sound, and is quite honestly in a league of its own, hence why so many modern effects tend to be spin offs of the muff.
This circuit is pretty interesting- its not as muddy as other muffs. It has a crunchier, more refined nature to it, with considerably more clarity. It reminded me of an op amp muff.
Then- that foot switch on the right? that activates an octavia style octave up boost. It is wired in series, before the muff fuzz face- for the most accentuated harmonic clang/ring possible.
Left foot switch activates the muff/fuzz face.
