HGF-1 HIGH GAIN FUZZ

Want something a bit different to the diode clipping overdrives.? The Mozztronics HGF-1 High Gain Fuzz is the answer.

We here at Mozztronics have been inspired by ye olden days pedals of yore, especially the benders and muff pedals. We looked at all of these before setting out to do our own version. We love how a muff sounds, and the big mid scoop sounds great when you are listening to an instrument on its own, but stick that sound in a band mix and it just gets lost. That will not do. We also wanted to make a single pedal that worked equally well on both guitar and bass without loss or flabbiness on the bottom end. We wanted it to be an angry pedal but still with a smoothness of early “Gilmour” tones.

This is the end result of our endeavours, based on classic Fuzz circuits from the 1960’s and 1970’s, we added our own touches, to enhance versatility, while keeping the touch sensitivity and enhancing clarity

But we know you want more, so we added a switch to take the fuzz from tight and compressed to a more open sound while retaining the dirt, and a two band eq, not just a tone control. We use ultra high gain Silicon transistors for your aural pleasure. We also enhanced the bottom end response (while still keeping it tight and not flubby) to make it usable for those responsible for the low end in a band.

FUZZ controls the amount of dirt from medium gain to very nasty & gnarly tones.

TRE controls the amount of treble in the output.

BASS controls the amount of bass in the output.

VOL adjusts the overall volume out of the pedal.

TIGHT switch toggles between a tighter and a more open sound.

Mozztronics uses the industry standard Boss style 2.1mm centre negative 9V DC socket for this pedal.

Mozztronics want to make their contribution to a greener world by keeping 9V batteries out of landfill. For this reason Mozztronics pedals do NOT have space inside for a 9V battery. If you do not already have a suitable power supply such as a Boss wall-wart, One Spot, PP2 etc we can supply a Mozztronics PS-2 power supply with your order for an additional $26. Please include a note with your order if you wish to add a power supply.
