VELVET FUZZ
If we look back at the history of great fuzz sounds, we find some truly exceptional examples - in particular, the sounds achieved by using a fuzz in a screaming stack. The kind of sounds that make the earth shake with their depth, their aggressiveness and their sweetness.
We took the basic sounds of a very famous Wampler pedal (which has the characteristics of a famous stacked amp at EL34) and decided that this was the best basis for building the perfect fuzz and delivering it in a unit that sounds as good as it feels powerful.
With two completely different clipping options (not just the basic silicon or germanium option like most) you can get those classic big fuzz sounds that compress massively on the low end or you can tighten them up and have a response closer to distortion. With this option you get all the sounds without the side effects. Some people say it sounds like a fuzz but has the same feel as distortion.
If you're a fan of the tones of players like David Gilmour or Eric Johnson (and let's face it, who isn't), the Velvet Fuzz may be the pedal you're looking for. Welcome to a new world of brick-thick fuzz, with collapsing walls and shattering windows. Velvet Fuzz.
