Information:
This is the crème de la crème of vintage fuzz offering amazing flexibility powered through a pair of hand select Germanium transistors. The tone of the Neo Fuzz is remarkably different to the G.I. The Neo is much more vintage sounding, a lot smoother, with less bite and buzz. Its gain is also a lot tamer, but there is still plenty on tap.

    •    Ultimate flexibility with the following 8 controls:
    •    Fuzz - From nothing to all out fuzz
    •    Load - input impedance control
    •    Bias - controls the bias of the 2 transistors
    •    Body - midrange control
    •    Tone - Balancing control for controlling highs and lows
    •    Volume – to control the output volume
    •    Tame Switch – this is a Brightness toggle switch control to take off of the top end as required
    •    Internal Gain trimmer

Gain Control: A huge gain range, from nothing to sustain-for-days. It can be used as a low gain device (for a fat bluesy bite), which is fairly unique for a fuzz pedal, since fuzz pedals tend to have a very narrow range of gain.

Gain Trimmer (Internal): To tame this pedal, the internal gain trimmer is there to wind things back (which I recommend)

Load Control: this is a variable input impedance. This can be used to match the Neo Fuzz to humbuckers as well as single coils (Fuzz pedals tend to have low input impedance which is a better match for single coils. Now you can also use humbuckers without any problems). You can also use it to go from a tradition fuzz sound (low input impedance) to a more articulate sound with detailed highs (high impedance)

Bias control: this is used to set up the operating point of the transistors, from a fat symmetrical fuzz, to an asymmetrical 'mosquito' buzz, and beyond, to a gated synth-like sound (almost sounds like your amp is about to die!)

Body control: this is a full range mid range control. The mids, of course, are the most important frequencies for determining how your guitar tone sits in with the rest of the band.

Tone control: controls both lows and highs, as opposed to simply a high cut filter. This is like bass and treble controls rolled into one. The combination of the tone and the body controls is like having a low/mid/high EQ

Volume control: with output to spare. You can use the Neo fuzz to overdrive your amp.

3 position Tame Switch: this is a brightness switch to help tame the top end. This is useful if you're going to use your Neo Fuzz with a bright 'modern' voiced clean channel, or if you're going to use the Neo with overdrive pedals (which tend to be darker, and by comparison, make a normal fuzz sound shrill).
