Fuzz

J Mascis signature fuzz based on his personal pedal. Custom Fuzz Face variant.

Part-by-part recreation of J Mascis's personal 1970s Ram's Head Big Muff combined with a germanium Rangemaster-style treble booster. Component values are deliberately 'incorrect'—replicating the drifted values in Mascis's nearly 50-year-old pedal rather than using spec values.

Fuzz section has Volume, Tone, and Sustain. Germanium treble booster section with NOS germanium transistor. Second Volume knob with dedicated footswitch allows switching between rhythm and lead output levels. Two-in-one design replicates Mascis's actual signal chain of booster slamming into a Muff.

Dinosaur Jr frontman's signature pedal, over two years in development. The drifted component values and germanium boost capture his specific broken-in tone. 8mA draw, 4.7 x 3.6 x 1.7 inches, 14.5 oz.
