Black Math
The Black Math by Mask Audio Electronics is a flagship fuzz pedal designed to
deliver a wide frequency response, making it suitable for use with low
register instruments such as baritone and bass guitars. The pedal features
internal controls for MIDS, allowing users to adjust the amount of midrange
dip or boost. It is designed to be powered using a standard Boss style power
supply (9VDC 2.1mm center negative) and comes with top-mounted jacks for
convenient connectivity.
In terms of functionality, the Black Math offers a pre-Muff op-amp boost to
saturate and overwhelm, controlled by the BOOST knob. The GAIN knob adjusts
the amount of rock, while the TONE knob allows for more treble frequencies to
pass at low gain settings. Additionally, the pedal includes a blowout switch
that bypasses the LEDs of the first clipping stage, providing users with
versatile tonal options.
The pedal is known for its ability to produce a massive sounding fuzz, while
also performing well at low gain settings, a feature that is uncommon for Big
Muff style pedals. The internal mid control knob, although not externally
accessible, provides further customization options for users who are willing
to open up the pedal for adjustment.
Overall, the Black Math by Mask Audio Electronics is designed to offer a
versatile and blown-out fuzz experience, with a wide tonal sweep and the
ability to deliver both restrained and crisp tones when desired.
