UV Effects GLUON | Fuzz Face Style One-Knob Silicon Fuzz | NOS BC183 Fuzz with Bias Toggle

The GLUON is a modified Fuzz Face-style silicon fuzz, tamed to sound closer to a germanium fuzz, with great cleanup when you roll back your guitar’s volume.

The circuit is built using hand-picked NOS Texas Instruments BC183 silicon transistors. They’re smoother and less aggressive than the BC108 and BC109 transistors often used in classic silicon fuzz circuits.

At full guitar volume, the GLUON gives you thick sustain, saturation, and singing fuzz. Roll your volume back and it cleans up naturally without getting dull. Like a classic Fuzz Face-style circuit, the GLUON works best first in your chain, directly after your guitar.

The BIAS toggle switches between FULL for a bigger, smoother fuzz and FIZZ for a tighter, gated texture.
