LIFE IS UNFAIR Bad Machine

BAD MACHINE is a multi-function boost, overdrive and fuzz unit designed in collaboration between LIFE IS UNFAIR Audio Devices & Mike Cunniff of the band BOSTON MANOR.

Available exclusively through Reverb.com, we present this limited run pink/blue/white version!

Featuring independently switchable boost and fuzz circuits. Bypass switching is latching by default but either channel can be set to momentary operation via internal dip switches.

Controls:

BOOST - Output level of the boost circuit.

REVERSE - Swaps the order of the boost and fuzz circuits.

LEVEL - Output level of the fuzz circuit.

BASS - Active peaking filter with 20dB of boost or cut available.

TREBLE - Active EQ with 20dB of boost or cut available.

GAIN - Input level of the fuzz circuit.

105Hz/86Hz - Centre frequency for bass EQ.

SHELF/PEAK - Alters the response of the treble EQ from a shelf filter with a cutoff of

3.2KHz to twin peak filters of 960Hz and 1280Hz

FUZZ MODE - Routes the signal path of the fuzz circuit through different filter networks. A brief description of which is found below:

I - Signal is routed through the input gain stage & EQ, bypassing the clipping & filter sections to operate as a boost/overdrive.

II - Thick mid frequency fuzz with subtle upper octave.

III- Mid scooped fuzz with more prominent octave artefacts.

IV - Combination of modes II & III.

V - Additional 5dB boost at 105Hz & 10dB at 4.9kHz for a metallic edge.

Hand assembled in Cardiff, Wales. Enclosures screen printed by Holy Island Audio.
