The Black Fuzz by Spiral Electric FX is a versatile and aggressive fuzz pedal with a unique blend of vintage tone and futuristic technology. The pedal features a true bypass and operates on 100% analog circuitry. It is designed with an industrial, textural, chemical oxide top, laser-etched graphics, and a brushed aluminum chassis, incorporating high-quality parts throughout.
The Black Fuzz offers separate gain and bias controls, providing a wide array of fuzz tones from overdrive to splatty, horn-like sounds. It is based on a '70s era Maestro Fuzz circuit and utilizes the Nanolog N2 Molecular Junction. The pedal also includes a three-way toggle voicing for user-selectable options: N2 + Silicon, N2, and N2 + Germanium.
Notably, the Black Fuzz is designed for incredible clean-up with guitar volume and is intended to pair with an already crunchy amp/channel, although it also works well into a clean amp/channel. The pedal does not have a battery option and is powered by a 9V DC center negative power supply.
Additionally, the Black Fuzz is known for its mix of classic and high-tech aesthetics and sonics, making it a versatile and visually striking addition to any pedalboard. The pedal's manual is available for download, providing detailed information on its operation and settings.
The pedal's design intentionally allows for a wide range of fuzz sounds, and while parts changes can eliminate the squeal, they may limit the range of the bias control and the unique sounds found at those ranges.
