Cascader

Cascader is a collaboration between Mask Audio Electronics and Collector//Emitter, designed to be loud and aggressive by combining smooth fuzz with low-gain gated fuzz for a tight mix of fuzz and distortion. Inspired by Devi Ever and Electro-Harmonix fuzzes, the circuit features three controls: Loud sets overall output volume, Yuh changes compression amount while selecting between open and gated voices, and Cascade adds additional fuzz at the signal's beginning for more saturation and sustain. Standard Boss-style 9V center-negative power with top-mounted jacks. The dual-character design allows everything from compressed smooth leads to gated, sputtery textures depending on Yuh and Cascade settings.
