Operational Electron Manipulations - SUPER FUZZ MAN REV. III

Hand Made in Melbourne. OEM (Ordinary Electron Mechanic) Clone of the Ibanez Wau FUZZ circuit with some tweaks.
Essentially the same circuit as found in the Ibanez Standard 59 Fuzz, and in the Univox Super-Fuzz. Very similar to the Foxx Tone Machine and the Fender Blender Fuzz.
Octave Up Fuzz generated from matched transistors.
Unlike the original design, this version uses higher gain (HFE) transistors across the board. The result is a very dynamic response to attack without dropping volume. A hard plectrum strike will result in a spluttery fuzzed out octavey punk rock mess (think Mosrite Fuzzrite and early Stooges/The Who); conversely, soft playing will instead generate an almost clean harmonic series of overtones that enter ring modulation territory when climbing past the 12th fret.
The entire spectrum of dynamics can be controlled through picking technique alone which makes this pedal incredibly responsive.
As per the original design, it features a Volume Control (LEFT), and Gain/Fuzz Control (RIGHT SIDE) and a Mid Scoop/Boost Switch.

This Unit has been housed in a defunct BOSS DD-3 Enclosure and features battery and PSU options. *However it should be noted that the PSU option is highly prone to noise due to the high gain circuit; low current transformer based power supplies (like the BOSS PSA-240) are pretty much the only option.
Otherwise, it sounds perfect on a simple 9 Volt Battery and will last for ages due to the low power draw.
