Silicon Fuzz

User Manual

Silicon Fuzz is very similar to our Germanium Fuzz but with silicon transistors instead. The

results are a pedal that produces edgier fuzz tones with a brighter sound and more gain on

tap. The circuit interacts well with the guitar's volume pot, though not as well as Germanium

Fuzz does. Apart from its awesome sound, the pedal is also completely unaffected by

temperature variations resulting in a very stable circuit that has consistent performance under

any condition.

We have sourced an amazing stock of rare and highly sought after NOS components; some

amazing NOS ERO capacitors, NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, and an

array of top grade NOS silicon transistors made by Toshiba and Philips. Our Silicon Fuzz

takes you ever so close to the mojo of vintage units.

We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals

together. Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise.

We use audio-grade shielded wire, Silver plated hookup wire, Alpha pots, genuine Vero

stripboard, all put together using Silver-based solder. The circuit is also housed in a durable

aluminium enclosure, professionally powder coated to our exact specification.

All in all, this is an amazing pedal that displays all the fine subtleties of the original units but

without the price tag.
