The Square wave fuzz is a unique vintage style fuzz originally made by Univox. It has a much more squashy nature to it, and sounds relatively similar to a fuzz face, but not quite. Instead of two silicon transistors, one is replaced with a JFET for a different sound.
The dist control is a rather strange one- it actually works similar to the filter knob on a rat, and is essentially cutting/choking frequencies. So when turned counter clockwise, it cuts a lot of signal and accentuates a lot of high end fizzle, when dialed back, a lot more gain and low end are pronounced.
The 3 way clipping toggle allows for a wider range of sounds as well- there is a stock silicon mode for that harsh, aggressive clipping that results in that meaty saturation, there is a vintage mode that adds a lot of compression, and gives this pedal a much more sputtery, fuzzy nature. Lastly middle position removes the clipping diodes for a blown out, loud, nasty fuzz sound.
The Champagne Silver one is stock, a recreation of the original effect, with the addition of the clipping toggle.
The purple one has my mods in it which expands the versatility of this pedal by a bit, I have expanded the range of the dist control, when dialed completely back, this circuit becomes a low end monster. The volume control is also a bit more unity around the middle position than in the original.
PLEASE NOTE The paint job on the purple did not come out the best so I have discounted its price.
COLORS
You can purchase the pedal that is in the picture, or you can choose to buy one with no paint that I will make fresh for you at a lower cost. It will come in a raw, unpainted, lightly polished aluminum enclosure. Please note that since these are made fresh, it normally will take 3-7 days for it to be built, at the very most 2 weeks.
