The Super Badass Variac Fuzz is aggressive, biting, and highly versatile, featuring a Variac control to change the pedal's voltage from 5V to 15V for a range of fuzz tones. Go from vintage saggy saturation to wide open transparency with the twist of a knob. This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
* Fuzz pedal with a rare vintage circuit for a unique-sounding distortion effect * Variac control adjusts from 5 to 15V to simulate a dying battery * Tone, Output, and Gain controls provide plenty of sound-shaping options * True bypass switching preserves your guitar's tone * Achieve aggressive, biting distortion effects with the MXR Super Badass Variac Fuzz pedal!
DIRECTIONS * Run a cable from your guitar to the M236’s INPUT jack and run another cable from the M236’s OUTPUT jack to your amplifier. * Set OUTPUT, GAIN, and VARIAC controls to their 12 o’clock positions, and set the TONE control fully clockwise. * Turn effect on by depressing footswitch. * Rotate GAIN knob clockwise to increase amount of fuzz or counterclockwise to decrease it. * Rotate OUTPUT knob clockwise to increase overall effect volume or counterclockwise to decrease it. * Rotate TONE knob counterclockwise to cut high frequencies for a darker fuzz sound. * To simulate the voltage sag of a dying battery, rotate the VARIAC control counterclockwise. For higher headroom and a clearer and more transparent sound, rotate the control clockwise.
