FUZZ SHIFT KNOB: This is a very special on all the time fuzz circuit that is either 100% dry
or 100% wet, and everything in between. When the knob is set to fully clockwise, the
distortion is the main influence on the tone and the fuzz is at minimum. When the knob is
set to 100% counter clockwise, the fuzz is fully integrated into the distortion circuit and
influencing the overall tone more so. Add as much fuzz character to the distortion as you
like via tuning the overall tone by ear.
FUZZ ATT switch: This is a fuzz boost circuit that allows the addition of even more fuzz to
the main overall tone. This brings in some real nice old school fuzz tones. Amazing for the
neck pickup and fast scale playing styles, yet you yourself will find the best purpose for
this amazing tone addition. You can also add this switch to ON, when you haven't even
turned the fuzz shift knob. i.e. by leaving the fuzz shift knob to 100% dry, fully clockwise,
then turn this switch to on, you will get a very slight attenuation to your normal distortion
tone, which is nice for slight EQ variations on the overall tone.
