Here's what Jackson Audio say about the Modular FUZZ:
Sporting that spitting, snarling and surly sound of rock legends past and present, the FUZZ Modular Fuzz pedal from Jackson Audio takes faithful recreations of historic fuzz circuits and brings them together in one modular pedal. This allows you to create classic fuzz tone, as well as new fuzz sounds that would have been impossible with just the original circuits! The idea of creating a modular fuzz came about as we were trying to decide which style of fuzz would be the most musical fuzz of all time. The answer quickly became all of them! They're all different and bring something unique sonically.
With the FUZZ, you can update your fuzz sound completely with our swappable analog plug-in modules and turn your device into a whole new pedal with a simple and affordable plug-in swap out.

Fuzz Experience
In the 30 years since Brad Jackson began playing guitar, he's always loved fuzz pedals. Having bought countless versions of fuzzes over the years, in his mind these pedals have always had a massive shortcoming – they desperately need more effective tone controls! That's why Jackson Audio designed the FUZZ with a 3 band, fully parametric EQ. EQ and especially the mids are where the guitar makes its stand. Not enough mids and your guitar is lost in the mix. Too much highs and your tone is piercing and off-putting. Too much bass and you compete sonically with the bass drum and bass player. With the 3-band Parametric EQ on the FUZZ, you have 9 controls at your disposal to fully sculpt your tone and make sure the riffs you are laying down are NEVER lost in the mix!
Controls
A good fuzz and a good octave pedal go hand in hand. Jimi knew it, Stevie knew it and you know it. If you want to put some purple in your haze, you're going to need an octave pedal and the octave circuit in the FUZZ is outstanding! Covering everything from perfectly pure octave up to screaming splatting sonic mayhem, the octave circuit in the FUZZ is the perfect marriage of vintage and modern thanks to its unique octave BLEND control. The BLEND control mixes your clean signal with the fuzz/octave signal so you can d

Fuzz
Fuzz is a distinctive type of distortion effect used in guitar playing, known for producing a thick, saturated, and buzzy tone. Unlike other distortion effects that aim to mimic the sound of overdriven tube amplifiers, fuzz pedals create a more extreme and aggressive distortion by severely clipping the guitar signal. This results in a unique sound characterized by rich harmonics, extended sustain, and a pronounced edge. Key features of fuzz pedals include gain, tone, and level controls. The gain control adjusts the amount of distortion applied to the signal, with higher settings producing more aggressive tones. The tone control allows musicians to shape the frequency response of the effect, ranging from dark and bass-heavy to bright and treble-focused sounds. Lastly, the level control sets the overall output, ensuring that the fuzz effect matches the volume of the rest of the signal chain or amplifier.
Fuzz pedals are popular across various music genres, particularly in rock, blues, and psychedelic music, due to their ability to enhance different guitar-playing styles. For rhythmic riffs, fuzz pedals create thick and aggressive tones with plenty of sustain and grit, adding depth to power chords, riffs, and palm-muted passages. In lead solos, they allow guitarists to achieve soaring, saturated tones with singing sustain and harmonically rich overtones, helping solos stand out in a mix.
Fuzz pedals are versatile tools for creating experimental sounds, capable of producing oscillating feedback, glitchy textures, and otherworldly tones when pushed to their extremes. Overall, fuzz pedals offer guitarists a powerful means of shaping their tone and adding character to their playing. Whether used subtly for warmth or dialled up for extreme distortion, fuzz pedals inspire creativity and expand the sonic palette of any guitarist.

Octave
An octave pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal that generates tones one or two octaves above or below the original signal. This effect can create a wide range of sonic textures, from thickening the sound to adding harmonies and creating synthetic basslines. Here’s how octave pedals work and some common features:
1. **Octave Up/Down**: Octave pedals typically offer the option to generate tones one octave above (octave up) or below (octave down) the original signal. Some advanced pedals may even offer both octave up and down simultaneously for more versatility.
2. **Blend Control**: Many octave pedals include a blend control, allowing you to adjust the mix between the original signal and the octave-generated signal. This feature enables you to dial in the perfect balance between the two for your desired effect.
3. **Tracking**: Tracking refers to how accurately the pedal follows the input signal and generates the octave. Higher-quality octave pedals have better tracking, meaning they accurately reproduce the pitch of the original note without latency or glitching.
4. **Polyphonic vs. Monophonic**: Some octave pedals are polyphonic, meaning they can accurately track multiple notes and chords played simultaneously. Monophonic pedals, on the other hand, work best with single notes and may struggle with chords.
5. **Sub-Octave**: In addition to octave up and down, some octave pedals offer a sub-octave effect, generating tones two octaves below the original signal. This can create deep, bass-like tones and add richness to your sound.
6. **Effects Loop**: Some octave pedals include an effects loop, allowing you to place other effects before or after the octave effect in the signal chain. This can open up creative possibilities for combining octave effects with other modulation or time-based effects.
7. **Expression Pedal Compatibility**: Certain octave pedals are compatible with expression pedals, which allow you to control parameters such as octave blend, pitch bend, or even the interval of the generated octave in real-time using your foot.
Octave pedals are widely used in various music genres, including rock, funk, jazz, and experimental music. Guitarists use them to create unique sounds, emulate basslines, and add depth and dimension to their playing. Whether you’re looking to thicken your tone, create harmonies, or explore new sonic territories, an octave pedal can be a valuable addition to your pedalboard.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
