Laegjarn Fuzz
Mk3 Bender-style 3-transistor fuzz
Mk3 Bender-style 3-transistor fuzz
The Lægjarn Fuzz is a classic MK3-bender-style 3-transistor fuzz circuit with a revised, more usable tone section. This batch of the Lægjarn Fuzz features:
STC CV7001 germanium transistors
Allen Bradley S-level carbon composition resistors
Philips, Mial, 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 STC CV7001 germanium transistors, resembling the transistor setup of the original units. It's my take on the MK3 sound tweaked to my taste with a very unique fuzzy texture. While staying true to the original circuit's topology, the tone control was updated to produce a more usable range across the sweep.
