Quick guide from the manual
The Duality Fuzz is a dual-engine fuzz pedal designed for electric instruments. It allows for precise control over the fuzz character and the blend between clean and overdriven signals. To operate, ensure you use a regulated 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity.
Controls
Front Controls
- Level: Adjusts the volume of the overdriven signal.
- Duality: Mixes two discrete fuzz circuits. Set to minimum for a pure gated saw-tooth wave, or increase for a tighter high-gain fuzz.
Back Controls
To access the internal controls, open the magnetic bottom lid.
- Blend: Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain, while the Level knob sets the volume of the overdriven signal.
- Filter: Controls the amount of high-frequency content in the fuzz signal.
Power Requirements
The Duality Fuzz requires a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. The unit has a current draw of approximately 40mA. Using unregulated power supplies or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance or damage to the unit, which voids the warranty.
