Fuzz

The aim for the Epigaze Audio Singularity was simple, a Tone Bender created with top-grade components, true bypass, germanium transistors, sleek graphics, LED indication, and a more compact board footprint. The Singularity includes Horizon and Gravity controls for the fuzz attack and volume or level respectively. Hand-wired in the USA, the Singularity is an excellent fuzz pedal that is certain to become a staple. Other features include Switchcraft jacks, orange drop capacitors, and standard 9v DC input.

It’s hard to stick out in the saturated fuzz market, but Fairfield Circuitry’s Four Eyes Crossover Fuzz does so with aplomb. Three parallel JFET fuzz circuits, a voltage-controlled state variable filter, and a three-band EQ let you use the Four Eyes to explore a vast world of fuzzed-out tonal possibilities. From super thin to extra fat, from a subtle whisper to an aggressive scream, smooth vintage germanium to hard-edged silicon, you can get more fuzz tones out of the Four Eyes than you ever thought possible.

If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward fuzz pedal, then the Unpleasant Surprise will surely live up to its name. For those who want to dabble in mad fuzz science, however, this unique fuzz pedal from Fairfield Circuitry is anything but unpleasant. A pair of Volume and Onset knobs plus a trio of switches controlling treble cut, amplifier bias, and compression let you dish out some of the weirdest and most unique fuzz tones ever conjured up by man. The Unpleasant Surprise is not subtle, not average, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

With a matched pair of germanium transistors powering its top-shelf brand of mean, hairy fuzz, the ‘69 MkII Fuzz pedal from Fulltone has all the vintage vibe you need. You get four knobs for shaping your sound: Input, Fuzz, Contour, and Volume. There’s also an internal switch that lets you control clipping symmetry, harmonics, and tracking. The ‘69 MkII is also very responsive, going from ultra-clean vintage sound to full-on fat and harmonic with a single twist of your guitar’s volume knob.

There’s no leash that can hold the Fulltone ‘70 BC-108C Fuzz pedal in place. Subtlety is not this pedal’s strong suit; a pair of deliberately mismatched silicon transistors let it howl and snarl and spit out saturated harmonic content–and that’s with the Fuzz dial not even reaching 10 yet! Crank it up to the max and you’ll get some crazy oscillation and weirdness, and if you really want to get all sorts of noisy and experimental, try connecting it to a wah pedal. The ‘70 BC dares you.
