Surfy Fuzz

FUZZ

When we decided to develop a FUZZ, we wanted it to be unique, multi-faceted and not a straight clone of a classic from yesteryear, since those are readily available. We also wanted to tap into the deep knowledge of our friend and fuzz aficionado Garrett Immel, a name you might recognize from such bands as Satan's Pilgrims, The Ghastly Ones, and Venturesmania. While the circuit of the D-67 was based on that of the Mosrite Fuzzrite®, what made it special was that Garrett incorporated a variable MASS control designed to counter the tendency for fuzzes to wash out on stage and become indistinct. This became our starting point for the USA side of the SurfyFuzz. As development continued, Bjorn added the HARMONICS function and made other adjustments to the circuit that took it even further from being a copy of the D-67 or Fuzzrite®.
