FUZZ-RAY - early Brit 60s fuzz w an American punch.
The NOCTURNE FUZZ-RAY™
vintage garage fuzz in soul chocolate w very cool Chicago USA made bakelite "dakaware" knobs. ( optional econo black mini chickenhead knobs avail)
It is creamy fat garage fuzz w edgy snarl that is based off an early 60s british design fuzz with an American punch of course. I use a spec'd and tested
vintage BC108 silicon, metal can transistor w a 2n2222 metal can BJT transistor. A Vintage FUZZ match made in heaven in my opinion. High quality alpha pots, switchcraft jacks,metal film resistors , Panasonic Capacitors and true bypass stomp switches, etc for good measure.
Think ghoul surf hangs out w the Black Keys and the Cramps at Lenny Kravitz studio. (names used for ed. purpose only).
As the volume is turned up so does the grind of the fuzz and its snarl, it can get extremely loud so you dont have to worry about being lost in the mix.
The control knob on the left is great treble tone filter to employ with single coils especially if you have dynasonics on your gretsch/ or single coils on your plank guitar..
it'll put a nice leash on the single coils bite and keep the sound Fat fuzzy and Round.
ie. turning it to the left, treble gets darker w smoother textures. the second stomper switch bypasses the tone circuit for a tone shift leaving more of the guitar in the mix.
Volume increases the Fuzz level with a huge boost attached to it as you roll up! Also, there is Internal trim pot called raunch, it can trim back the attack if needed, I prefer it maxed so I can roll back the vol on my guitar to control it remotely to a degree.
