Boris - fuzz for the people

FUZZ

Boris is a beastly guitar fuzz pedal whose roots lie in a particular 90’s 4 transistor Russian circuit. Dr Deiter Von FüzzBrauer was always mystified by the simple, yet devastating tones that could be achieved by this circuit. But there was always a problem, when this circuit was employed in a live setting the massive wall of fuzz would be buried under the bass, drums and anything else. Why? Well, each instrument occupies a particular frequency and the circuit scoops mids, and mids is where the guitar shines. These amazing tones that could be had are easily corrected in a recording mix, but what about the live players? No… this will not stand, Von FüzzBrauer had his quest. Create the thick and massive sought after tones but without the sacrifice of being lost in the live mix.
