ThisHeavyEarth T.H.E. Fuzz v2.1 Fuzz Pedal
I set out to build a one knob fuzz and while technically it has only one knob, I just couldn't leave it there. You know versatility is crucial for me so I've included two additional external controls to further allow for shaping this gain monster to taste.
What is it? Well, it's simply a gain stage with no fancy EQ or anything. Just raw pure opamp rage. I've included the blend and mass controls so you can stack and layer it with other builds to thicken things up or just keep some of your original guitar/bass attack.
Controls
| Name | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level | Internal (trim) | Controls the output volume. |
| Blend | External | Mix between 100% buffered dry signal and 100% wet signal to bring back the dynamics of your clean signal. |
| Opamp Abuse | External | Gain, an obscene amount of it. |
| Mass | External | Variable high pass filter for huge doom low end or tight thrash attack. |
| Clean Gain | Internal (Trim) | Adjust the amount of gain on the clean side of the blend. Default setting at max (full CW). |
| Bypass LED Brightness | Internal | Adjust overall brightness of front LED. Default setting at minimum (full CCW). |
