Mk2 Bender-style 3-transistor fuzz
The Demiourgos Fuzz is a classic MK2-bender-style 3-transistor fuzz circuit with a bass cut control after the first gain stage. This batch of the Demiourgos Fuzz features:
Philips OC71 and 2N280 germanium transistors
Allen Bradley S-level carbon composition resistors
Philips and Sprague capacitors
Alpha, Switchcraft, and CIC hardware
Powder-coated and UV printed enclosure
Each pedal is hand-crafted in Portland, OR in small batches and will vary slightly in appearance. I make sure all pedals from the same batch sound and perform as close to each other as possible.
This batch uses my "R.01" recipe, powered by trio of new old stock Philips black glass OC71 and 2N280 germanium transistors, resembling the transistor setup of the original units. It's my take on the classic MK2 sound in my head, massive, aggressive, saturated, and fairly loose. The tone control cuts the low end without altering the core sound, which can be useful for tightening up the fuzz.
