For the Fundamental Series, we challenged ourselves to design a set of pedals with the tonal integrity that’s required to live on a professional’s pedalboard, but with simplified controls friendly enough for even the newest effect pedal users. Each Fundamental pedal has 3 sliders for tweaking the sound and a three-way switch for changing pedal modes. The result is a line of 8 pedals that will keep you covered from your first band practice all the way to a sold-out arena. Designed and assembled at Walrus Audio headquarters in OKC, OK.
Fundamental Fuzz
The Fundamental Fuzz is a 3-mode aggressive fuzz pedal with a wide tonal range. It can live anywhere in your chain: hit it with your favorite overdrive or push it into another crazy distortion.
Gain –The Gain slider sets the amount of gain applied to your guitar signal passing through the fuzz circuit.
Tone –The Tone slider controls the frequency response of the signal after distortion. Below center cuts highs and above center cuts lows.
Volume –The Volume slider sets the overall output volume of the pedal.
Slide Switch –The slide switch allows you to change between 3 distinct different flavors of the pedal. Each position has different clipping modes or tone profiles.
Gate -Lowers bias voltage in main fuzz section, creating a gated and starved sound. Note: Changing the bias lowers the overall level of the pedal compared to the other modes. With plenty of gain on tap, use the Volume slider to compensate.
Classic -Screaming fuzz with an iconic mid scoop. Compressed and crunchy
Mid+ - Adds mid boost to flatten out the tone stage. Compressed and full
Bypass Switch –Turns the effect on and off.
Bypass LED -Illuminated when the effect is engaged.
Input Jack -1/4 inch cable from instrument.
Output Jack -1/4 inch cable to amplifier.
9v Jack – 9-volt DC, Center Negative, 100mA min.
