Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals push a signal into intentionally non-linear clipping, often with strong sustain, compression and harmonic roughness. Designs range from gated splutter and octave-up textures to broad, woolly or saturated sounds, and they can react strongly to pickup level and guitar volume. Bias, tone, gain, input impedance and clean-up behaviour affect how playable the circuit feels. Some fuzzes prefer to see the guitar directly, while others tolerate buffers and complex boards. Check the power requirements, noise floor and useful volume-control range.
