FUZZ! The sound of rock and righteous indignation worldwide! That
spitting, snarling and surly sound of rock legends past and present!
The FUZZ from Jackson Audio takes faithful recreations of historic fuzz
circuits and brings them together in one modular pedal that allows you
to create classic fuzz sounds as well as new fuzz sounds that are
impossible with these original circuits!
The FUZZ ships with the MODERN FUZZ installed and the FUZZ CLASSIC - VINTAGE as an extra module!
FUZZ
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!" All of them are different, and
all of them bring something unique sonically.
With the FUZZ,
you can update your fuzz sound completely with our analog plug-ins and
turn your pedal into a whole new pedal with a simple and affordable
plug-in swap.

MODERN FUZZ - From vintage style fuzz at lower
settings to snarling spitting fuzz at higher settings the MODERN FUZZ
plug-in does it all and cleans up beautifully when your guitars volume
control is lowered. This is the plug-in that the FUZZ ships with.
*The FUZZ ships with this module installed.
FUZZ CLASSIC/VINTAGE - The classic Fuzz with the
smiley Face! This plug-in has lower gain and a looser/softer feel. This
plug-in is perfect for the earlier Jimi era tones.
*The FUZZ ships with this module included as a FREE extra module!

PARAMETRIC EQ
"In the 30 years since I began playing guitar, I have always
loved fuzz pedals. I've bought countless version of them over the years,
but in my mind, they've always had a massive shortcoming. They
desperately need more effective tone controls! That's why I designed the
FUZZ with a 3 band, fully parametric EQ." - Brad Jackson
How you EQ your tone, 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
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!
BASS LEVEL - External knob. Adjusts for more or less bass. +/- 20dB
BASS FREQ - Internal trimmer. Selects which bass frequency is being adjusted.
BASS Q - Internal trimmer. Adjusts how narrow or wide the selected frequency is.
MID LEVEL - External knob. Adjusts for more or less mids. +/- 20dB
MID FREQ - External knob. Selects which mid frequency is being adjusted.
MID Q - Internal trimmer. Adjusts how narrow or wide the selected frequency is.

OCTAVE
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 mixed your clean signal
with the fuzz/octave signal so you can dial in precisely how much octave
effect you want. Guys like Doyle Bramhall II use this to great effect
by adding just a little octave to their sound which gives is a little
"lift".
With the BLEND control fully counterclockwise, the octave
circuit acts as a boost and is perfect for slamming the front of the
fuzz circuit for more gain! Pro Tip! Boost + Fuzz Face =
Tone Bender! This boost is also perfect for boosting the front of other
pedals or just running as an always on signal buffer/booster.
With
the BLEND control fully clockwise, there is no clean blend so your
signal is fully fuzzed out with however much fuzz/octave you have dialed
in with the OCT control.
