NEW FUZZ CIRCUITS IN THE WORKS

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up- the next generation of Apocalypse Audio fuzz circuits are being cooked up as we speak. I have been putting one of the latest through it's paces during practice with my latest project, and it's coming through excellently. the idea was to have one pedal that can clean up into a nice overdrive with the rollback of the volume knob, and can be turned up into a nasty, but musical, old school sixties style fuzz with tons of gain on tap. I wanted to be able to use one fuzz, and be able to get multiple tones, with enough gain that no booster was needed. this would allow me to simplify my pedal setup considerably, which has become a sort of mantra of late. what I ended up with was a sort of 3 transistor fuzz face/fuzzrite/big muff frankenstein hybrid that has enough flexibility to be usable with any rig and go from wooly, to cutting, to clear, whenever you want. it also is able to clean up in a sort of jekyll and hyde fashion- for overdriven chord work, or single string stun gun action with the flick of the wrist. stay tuned for schematics, project files, and demo videos soon.
