Little demo of The Beard Fuzz Pedal

12 Mar 2019

As promised in the weeknotes, I’ve done a quick demo of the fuzz pedal I made. It bearly scratches the surface in terms of the tones you can get from it, but should give you a rough idea of what to expect:

Fuzz is a funny effect I didn’t think I had a use for, but having one to hand I’ve realised how expressive it can be, particularly as it cleans up when you roll off your guitar’s volume control (which I fail to demonstrate here). I do remember to whack it through an overdrive pedal though - although Hendix is famed for using fuzz, he didn’t do so into a clean amp, he used it to push an already overdriven Marshall amp further.
