Fuzz - Transistor Fuzz Pedal

FUZZ is a modified and corrected version of the classic two-transistor Fuzz-Face (Tone Bender Mk1) with a buffered TONE control added. Although the legendary circuit was brilliantly simple and sounds wonderful, it has a few drawbacks; notably low input impedance, sensitivity to transistor gain and temperature. Over the years people have attempted various improvements such as transistor sorting and adjustable bias, but these are band-aids and only go so far. FUZZ tackles both problems with fundamental circuit modifications, improving low-level linearity, bias stability, and increasing input impedance by a factor of ten. You no longer have to put this pedal first in the chain, as most pedals will be able to drive it (such as a wah)! The warm, asymmetrical clipping and range of tones of the original are preserved.
