Void Ripper Fuzz

Come cross the event horizon! Based on the ever popular FZ-2, the Void Ripper takes a famously heavy fuzz tone to a whole new level with some unique mods.

The core of this circuit is faithful to the original but has been expanded upon with a few useful features. The most notable addition is a two-mode Octave On/Off toggle switch. The original effect has a somewhat subtle octave, which shines on leads and power chords but adds harsh dissonance to everything else. The Void Ripper allows you to turn off either half of the octave circuit, cutting out the intermodulation distortion when playing chords. Since the bias of the two sides is slightly unbalanced, turning off one side or the other gives you two entirely new kinds of fuzz from this classic design! The Modern side boosts the gain and sounds like the standard mode sans-octave, while the Vintage side is a warmer, heavily saturated, classic fuzz tone. 

This pedal offers the three EQ modes (Scooped, Full, and Boost) from the original, as well as the "secret mode" from a very popular clone*, blending the Scooped and Full signals together. Combining these modes with the Octave switch brings forth a wide variety of unique fuzz tones from this circuit.

*Although the budget clone is very affordable and does the Hyper Fuzz sound, the buffered bypass on those pedals is noticeably budget quality and can junk up your clean tone, especially with hotter pickups.
