Silktone Fuzz+ Pedal - Teal

Silktone Fuzz+ Pedal - Teal

The Silktone Fuzz has been updated with some cool new features starting with a couple of tone controls to subtly shape the sound of the fuzz. The tone controls are a product of the cleanup circuit so they shape the tone before heading into the fuzz. The bass shape goes from a tight and forward sound when turned down to full and round when turned up. The treble shape subtly rolls off the high end for a softer fuzz tone. The shaping is much more apparent at cleaner settings too.

The next (and most fun) addition is the second footswitch which engages RAW mode bypassing the tone controls and the cleanup knob to bring you back to full raw fuzz. This makes it a sort of dual fuzz to get a huge variety of sounds.

The taper of the “Cleanup” control is much smoother compared to the old version and the “Fuzz” control is much more usable now too allowing you to set post gain and shape the sound a bit or to set max fuzz level when cleanup is bypassed in raw mode. The Fuzz+ also has way higher output volume than the original fuzz so it can be used to hit your amp harder whether in full fuzz or when cleaned up as a colorful germanium boost.

The power supply has been updated so the Fuzz+ can accept any 9V power source (center negative) and can be daisy chained with other pedals. An isolated power supply is no longer required.

The Fuzz+ still has a pickup simulator so it can be placed anywhere in the chain without worrying about buffers

The bias control also works a lot better than before at the extreme ranges allowing you to fine tune the bias voltage of the germanium transistors regardless of temperature shifts that normally plague this style of circuit.

At the heart of the Silktone Fuzz+ are two germanium transistors in the classic fuzz face topology, tweaked to get a huge array of tones and fix all the annoyances you get with a typical germanium fuzz. We wanted to nail the awesome tones everybody knows and loves when these transistors are biased to their sweet spot... and also when they’re not. With our bias control you can easily hit them all.

What’s up with that “CLEANUP” knob?

It cleans up the fuzz the higher you push the knob - it works in turn with the pickup sim by mimicking your guitar volume knob to get the cleaner sparkly boost/light overdrive tones a good germanium fuzz face is known for when you roll your guitar volume knob back a bit.
