Welcome to your new Fuzz Master General! The Fuzz Master General is our take on the vintage Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2 Professional fuzz machine, an octave fuzz that was very similar to the wildly popular Super Fuzz. We have taken the basic circuit and re-imagineered it to be more useful for the modern player. The Fuzz Master General features a more accurate Fuzz control that delivers a much broader spectrum of dirt tones ranging from nearly clean through full buzz saw assault. We added a Voice toggle to further enhance your dirt desires and wrangle a more variable tone out of the classic circuit. This toggle selects between germanium, silicon and no diode clipping. This has a huge impact on the characteristics of fuzz tone, upper octave clarity and output level. While the original Fuzz Master had a foot switch to select between two different tone settings, the Fuzz Master General has a variable Tone control that allows you to dial in everything in between a wide-open treble assault and a super-scooped, bass-heavy vintage unit. "¢ Voice switch: - 1: Germanium clipping, open and loose. - 2: Silicon clipping, tighter and compressed. - 3 (VERY LOUD) Pure transistor (very loud!), nearly clean octave up similar to ring modulation. "¢ Tone: Darker and scooped to brighter and open tones. "¢ Fuzz: Amount of dirt. "¢ Level: Output volume. "¢ Flexi-Switch technology, a relay-based, true bypass switch for use in momentary or latching-style switching. "¢ Handmade in Akron, Ohio, USA. "¢ Limited Lifetime Warranty.
