Carcharias Effects Derringer Fuzz

The Derringer Fuzz is based on the famous Univox Super-Fuzz circuit—an incredible, six-silicon transistor fuzzy beast of a pedal perfect for bass and guitar. This pedal was named after Derringer, a user on the FSB forum whose suggested modifications to the original Super-Fuzz circuit, helped craft the sound and tonal options of this classic fuzz.

In addition to the original’s controls—Balance and Expander—the Derringer includes a Tone knob which continuously pans between two filter settings, and a Brutal knob, which controls the amount of signal compression towards the end of the circuit, aided by a pair of soft-clipping, asymmetrical diodes. The Derringer also includes several filtering components at its input and output gain stages, which are responsible for shaping the frequency response of the signal, giving bassists tons of booming low-end. At high saturation levels, the octave-up capabilities for which the original Super-Fuzz is known become even more pronounced.

This pedal comes highly recommended to multi-instrumentalists who love the flexibility of using the same pedal to power their guitar, bass, or even synth. For those who absolutely love to maximize the tweakability of their sound, the Derringer Fuzz gives a wide range of ferocious, supersaturated, warm, and gnarly fuzz.
