Petra

FUZZ

DISTORTION

PETRA is a fuzz designed by effettidiclara. Completely hand built, assembled and painted in Italy. Silicon fuzz with variable gate. Made with metal-packed NOS transistors. The spectrum ranges from a light and dynamic FUZZ to a more aggressive and assertive FUZZ. The STRANGENESS control can be used to create more distinctive and experimental sounds such as SYNTH/GATED FUZZ. In the first half, the GAIN value is increased; in the second half, the GATE threshold is raised gradually. The threshold setting also allows use with semi-acoustic instruments or microphones that tend to trigger at high gain levels. The VOICE switch, which changes the response of the low frequencies, transforms the pedal from a scratchy FUZZ with lots of 60s-style attack (HIGH) to a modern sound with a heavier, compressed sound (LOW) to an experimental, extreme sound with even more gates (SUPER LOW). To increase versatility, we have combined the previous versions into a single pedal so that it can be used for guitar, bass, synthesizer, drum machine... can be used. In the new V3 version, the mechanical true bypass has been replaced by an electromechanical true bypass relay, which is controlled by a click-free switch. In addition to silent switching, the advantages are a longer service life and reliability thanks to a system that is less susceptible to mechanical wear than the 3PDT switch.
