Assumed Azure Fuzz

Deliciously versatile take on a Fuzz Face.

With NPN germaniums in the engine room this box will give you smooth, creamy fuzz tones with a standard negative-ground supply.

There's a transformer at the front end to emulate a pick-up, which makes the circuit play nicely anywhere in your chain, not just first in line.

A couple of handy pots join your standard Vol and Fuzz controls - Smooth, which lets you tame the input level, and Bias, which will change the flavour of the fuzz on tap.

We currently have stock of several different NPN cans - AC127, AC176, 2N3102, 2N3108. We'll supply a suitable pairing.
