Monsterpiece NPN Fuzz

The Monsterpiece NPN is a very versatile and dynamic 2 silicon transistor fuzz that has it’s roots based on the classic Fuzz Face circuit – but has been tweaked for superior sound and performance. This is not a stock circuit or straight up clone of the original. Depending on your settings you can attain sounds from near clean boost, to gritty overdrive, to crunchy distortion, to all out fuzz mayhem!

Experiment with your settings! That is the key to unlocking the full potential of this pedal. Also experiment with your picking dynamics, and your guitars volume knob, as this is a very responsive circuit. Remember, this IS a high gain fuzz circuit, and some settings can be noisy.

The transistors in this pedal are socketed allowing for easy experimentation for those of you who are into that. Stock transistors will be either BC108 or BC109 npn type silicon transistors

Controls (left to right)
• Volume – controls the overall output of the pedal
• Transistor Bias – Tunes the overall voice of the fuzz circuit. Set it to where YOU like what you are hearing. Can get some sputtering dying battery, and gated sounds in certain settings.
• Input Bias – controls the input signal level to the fuzz circuit. Think of it as a “flavor” contour for the type of fuzz you want. Set counter clockwise you get a thicker, nastier fuzz tone. As you increase the bias the fuzz becomes more focused and dynamic.
• Fuzz – controls overall fuzz level. This control is highly interactive with the input bias control allowing many different voicing’s.
• Voice stomp switch – This switch toggles between 2 different output capacitors allowing for either a brighter, or a more full/bassy sound.
• Battery on/off mini-toggle switch

Power Options
• 9 volt battery (recommended)
• 9 volt DC center negative barrel plug adapter – think your typical Boss / Ibanez / 1Spot. Yes, the Monsterpiece NPN can be daisy chain powered with other pedals.
