Quagmire Fuzz

A beautiful box of fuzz, designed to get you a huge range of Jimi tones from Electric Ladyland through to Band of Gypsys. Don't mistake this for the Dunlop B.O.G. Fuzz Face (nothing wrong with that, and you may want to check out our Fillmore Fuzz...), but this one shoehorns so much more into the mix.

Buffers front and back make this play nice with other pedals anywhere in the chain, and there more to play with than the standard Vol and Fuzz controls.

You have a Lows knob to play with the bottom end hitting the fuzz section. Keep it in and get a thick earth shattering fuzz, or wind it back to make things sharper and more cutting.

The Highs knob lets you bleed off some of the top endfor a more germanium Fuzz Face tone, or keep all that fizzle shizzle intact for a silicon FF vibe. Tweaking both tone controls will give you so many options you'll find a perfect setting for any amp.

An external Bias pot is the cherry on the tweak cake here. Starve those cans for a gated, choked fuzz, or whack up the power to increase the headroom if that's your thing. Giggidy.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. Pots are spaced 17.5mm apart, so take that into consideration when choosing your knobs.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
