The Black Fuzz is a very simple, elegant pedal with more of a complex sound than most think. This pedal has a single control that adjusts only the volume of the output signal. The guitarist is able to control the gain from the guitar by lowering the volume control on the guitar. The Black Fuzz is one of the most pick sensitive pedals we build, even with the guitar's volume control at full volume, a beautiful clean sound can be had by simply picking softly. This pedal has been compared to classic sounds from the seventies, with thick, lucious distortion and a slight bit of a fuzz sound, envision a Black Face style amp being pushed hard with a bit of fuzz added on top.
