Built out of love of the sound and simplicity of a classic Two Transistor FF, HEIRESS expands on this topology and brings in more controls to dial in each separate stage of the circuit. The result? A massively versatile FUZZ that allows you to adapt your tone for every set up.
Handmade in Brighton, England; With a fully analog signal path engaged through a
true-bypass circuit
DETAILS
Powered by 2x BC183 silicon transistors, a switchable MP10B germanium transistor and variable component values: HEIRESS is a versatile device able to go from glassy cleans, to ripping velcro, to that classic sound that paved a way for new genres. Your tone is in there somewhere!
CONTROLS
HEIRESS Features 7 Controls to help you dial in your destruction to the closest frequency:
FREQ: A wide set tone control: Sweeping from warm and wooly when fully counter clockwise, to rip and tear when fully clockwise
NOISE: Sets the amount of gain being pushed from the circuit. From a touch of drive when fully counter-clockwise, to absolute destruction when fully engaged.
SIL/GER SWITCH: Swaps between Silicon and Germanium Transistors: Switch “DOWN” for a more “Modern” sounding fuzz, or “UP” for more “vintage” inspired.
● SILICON: BC183
● GERMANIUM: MP10B
LEVEL: Sets the overall output volume
BASS CUT: Removes low end rumble for a more “Cut Through” tone
● - : Bass Cut
● + : Regular Bass Frequency
LOAD: Controls the amount of power being pushed into the input stage: Resulting in more gain and a more “Open” sound.
*This control can react differently depending on the input signal, and will shut off if pushed past its limit*
VOLTS: Sets the amount of current that gets fed into the circuit; ranging from full power to gradually draining to simulate a dying battery, giving spitty and broken tones.
*This control can react differently depending on the input signal, and will shut off if pushed past its limit*
Built out of obsession with the thickness and chaos brought on by the legendary Four Transistor BM, KOZEL is a combination of components carefully selected from schematics of the Triangle, Rams Head and Sovtek. The result? A wall of FUZZ that can be used to intentionally break your signal or your ears, however you see fit!
Handmade in Brighton, England; With a fully analog signal path engaged through a
true-bypass circuit
DETAILS
Powered by 4x silicon transistors and paired with carefully selected diodes and coupling caps, KOZEL is a versatile device able to go from a dynamic soft layer, to tearing your signal apart whilst keeping the low end tight and retaining your note definition at every stage.
CONTROLS
KOZEL Features 10 Controls to help you dial in your destruction to the closest
frequency:
VOLTS: Sets the amount of current that gets fed into the circuit; ranging from full power to
gradually draining to simulate a dying battery, giving spitty and broken tones.
*This control can react differently depending on the input signal, and will shut off if pushed past
its limit*
LEVEL: Sets the overall output volume
CLAMP: Controls the threshold of a built in gate; starting at a fully open path, to an aggressive
clamp causing your signal to split as it travels through.
*This control can react differently depending on the input signal, and will shut off if pushed past
its limit*
MID CURVE: Changes the shape of the mid frequency EQ curve; allowing you to select a
specific frequency to push depending on your current scenario and needs
*This control is linked to the “PUSH” knob (see below)*
● Hi: Upper Mids
● -:Standard Curve
● Low: Lower Mids
PUSH: Changes the position of the peak of the mid frequency curve allowing you to blend
between the original and the newly selected curve.
*This control is linked to the “MID CURVE” switch (see above)*
FREQ: A wide set tone control: Sweeping from trashy and trebly when fully clockwise to tight
and bass heavy when fully counter-clockwise.
*This control is linked to the “TONE BYPASS” switch (see below)*
TONE BYPASS: When switched “ON”: the “FREQ” knob will react as intended. When switched
“OFF”: the control is removed from the signal path, slightly boosting overall volume and making
certain frequencies more
*This control is linked to the “FREQ” knob (see above)*
NOISE: Sets the amount of gain being pushed from the circuit. From a touch of drive when fully
counter-clockwise, to absolute destruction when fully engaged.
