Demeter Fuzzulator, Fuzz Box, Color "Black",
"The Fuzzulator was designed to be a Fuzz with focus.
So many fuzzes sound cool but get lost in the mix because they don't have a
clear sound image. I solved that problem with tonal pre emphasis before the
sound hits the distortion generator. The unit also has both LED or germanium
diode distortion available at the flip of a switch." - James
Introducing the FUZ-1 Fuzzulator, a different kind of
distortion box. The Fuzzulator is the first fuzz box to use our innovative Tone
Pre-Emphasis Circuit to control and enhance the proper frequencies to give the
distorted sound focus, so that even with massive distortion your instrument will
not be lost in the sonic mud. The Fuzzulator also features the exclusive
loose/tight switch that switches between a tight sound, using led's as the
distortion generator, or a looser sound, using our special combination of
silicone and germanium diodes. As with all Demeter products these units are hand
built in the U.S.A. using the finest components available to insure many years
of trouble free use.
There are three controls on the unit: Fuzz, Tone and Volume, a
mode switch to switch between loose or tight plus a foot switch to bypass the
effect, and an led to indicate effect operation. On the side there is a trim pot
to set the overall gain of the unit.
Fuzz: increases the gain of the distortion circuit which
increases the distortion and sustain of the unit.
Tone: a high cut filter which you can use to make your sound
warmer and fatter.
Volume: this control sets the overall output of the unit. Use
this for level matching between the effected and unaffected signal.
Footswitch: a bypass type of switching is used for a more pure
sound. An led indicates the unit is engaged.
Tight - Lose Switch: this switches between light emitting
diodes and germanium diodes for the distortion generating devices. LED's have a
tight sound and are a bit louder. Germanium diodes have a looser more classic
fuzz sound with less output volume.
Trim Pot: sets the gain of the Fuzz output amplifier. It is
useful to turn it up if you are using the germanium diodes (loose) as your
primary distortion setting. Or you can turn it down if the unit is too hot for
your system.
There are two inputs on the front side of the unit: a
1/4" input jack on the right and a 1/4" output jack on the left with a
battery-ground switch on the input jack.
Power Supply: 9 volts DC. Either external or internal. For
internal power, use a 9 volt battery. To access, remove the four screws on the
sides of the unit and pull apart. Note: battery must have at least 7 volts for
unit to work! External power supply using mini plug, tip positive, 9 volt DC
regulated (100 milliamp or more).
