Big Opiate - octave fuzz (Superfuzz/ Hyperfuzz style)

159.00

If you think you've already got some heavy tone, you should try this. Big Opiate is based on the superclassic Univox Superfuzz and has the same gnarly attack and powerful sustain with ringing overtones. It's tone shaping section, though, is tuned for way more aggressive sound that meets FZ-2-devotees' expectations of massive wall of sound and takes it even further. This is an octave fuzz circuit and it's analog upper-octave presence is not as pronounced and sweet as in Foxx Tone Machine style pedals, so it works perfect for a ripping, sludgy tones.

Fuzz circuit is followed by a mosfet power boost stage for huge output volume to smash your amp savagely and provide some additional tone saturation for extra filth content. So level knob is actually a boost control - when set to zero it doesn't cut off the effect like a volume knob (minimum setting is a bit below bypass volume), when maxed it will set any amp into heavy saturation.

CONTROLS:
fuzz - sets amount of sustain/fuzz
v (volume) - provides big amount of MOSFET-driven boost. CW turn reduces top end sparkle for even fatter sound at high volume level
scoop - blends two voicing modes: CW for maximum mid-scooped tone with massive low-end and aggressive highs, CCW for piercing high-midrange bite with smoothed highs and tighter low-end

Current batch comes with red & green print.

No battery operation is possible in this pedal. Use standard 9VDC negative center power supply only.
