Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals push a signal into intentionally non-linear clipping, often producing strong sustain, compression and harmonic roughness. The circuit may be gated and spluttering, broad and woolly, bright and cutting, or rich in octave content. Germanium, silicon, op-amp and hybrid designs each respond differently to input level, temperature, pickup impedance and the guitar volume control. Fuzz is therefore unusually sensitive to placement: some pedals want to see the instrument first, while others prefer a buffered or driven signal. Judge the cleanup, noise and low-end behaviour as carefully as the maximum gain.
