12:00 FuzzGated and Velcro FuzzHangman fxOctave FuzzOscillating FuzzSlicer and StutterTremolo+- I originally referred to this as a Trem-Fuzz, which is not exactly correct - it has the most amazing and versatile 3 x 3 mode Fuzz, supplemented by a secondary Chopper Circuit - a sort of signal slicer / stutter which with Speed at peak levels delivers Drone and kind of Ring Mod tones - which you then can tune into a particular note / frequency with the Fine-Tune control.

08:00 Big Muff Style FuzzDistortionFuzzFuzz-Drive and FuzzstortionSilicon FuzzSoundLad Liverpool+- I believe this is at least the 2nd iteration of this circuit - where the Volume knob is a relatively recent addition to its provenance as far as I recall. The first cool and unusual thing about this pedal is that you have two separate gain circuits - GRAVY : based on a 1973 Violet Ram’s Head Muff, and MEAT : based on the NYC 2000 Muff.

A This Heavy Earth pedal has been on the cards for a while - as one of the key high gain distortion brands.

12:00 Big Muff Style FuzzDistortionEmmergy FXFuzzFuzz-Drive and FuzzstortionSilicon Fuzz+- This is a very unique 4-Stage / 4-Transistor Fuzz - not really Big Muff ’adjacent’ despite the same number of Transistors - and significantly more crunchy than your typical Muff, and with more bite and sear for that matter also - with a very distinct texture and character.  It uses 2N3904 Transistors, which along with the BC183’s are the go-to transistors for Type 3 Fuzz Faces (Germanium-sounding Silicon).

08:00 Cosmodio InstrumentsFuzzModulated FuzzOddball Fuzz+- This is an interesting analog fuzz with glitchy frequency divider modulation - which delivers some uniquely textured outputs. It makes a series of cool noises - where you will need to decide how much mileage you get out of those tones and textures. The fuzz can of course be deployed independently too. The combined output is far from a conventional Fuzz Sound - and I suppose something of an acquired taste.
