FUZZ
X Type:
Build Level: Beginner
Based On: Arbiter® Fuzz Face™
The Woodshed is a "catch-all" style silicon Fuzz Face™. It delivers stock FF sounds plus a lot
more. The extra features include a bass control, "squish" knob for bumblebee fuzz and an external
bias control.
VOL: Total effect output.
FUZZ: Fuzz amount.
SUBS: CCW is the stock Fuzz Face™. Turning SUBS CW will reduce the bass into the circuit
for smoother overdrive-like tone.
SQUISH: CCW is the stock setting. Going CW increases the feedback resistance between Q2
and Q1 to squash the fuzz into nothingness, like my soul.
BIAS: This allows you to change the biasing voltage of Q2. At medium settings you can get
some EJ style fuzz. High settings will also squish the fuzz sound.
BOOST: This trimmer will increase the volume output as it is turned up.
T1: This trimmer is used to set the range of the BIAS control. See notes.
