Modern Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1S
Fuzz Master is a modern take on vintage Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1S, using low-noise MPSA18 transistors for buffer/mixing signals and NOS TFK BC109C for gain stages. The pedal has a mod allowing to switch signal clipping using 2N2222 transistors (same as in Maestro one), red LEDs, and NOS Germanium diodes. The pedal uses soft footswitches in combination with Attiny microcontroller and relays for switching bypass and mode. In addition, to turn the pedal off/on or change the fuzz mode it allows to temporarily enable/disable it using long-press (longer than 350ms).
Controls:
- Volume - effect output level.
- Balance - mixes the clean signal with fuzz.
- Sustain - controls the amount of gain.
- Voice switch - toggles tree clipping options: Classic (2N2222 transistors, same as in Maestro one), Loud (red LEDs), and Smooth (NOS Germanium) diodes.
- Bypass and Mode footswitches - switch bypass and fuzz mode respectively, both could be used momentary-on long-press (> 150ms).
Power Supply: 9V DC adapter (Boss-style negative center) not included. No batteries. They are bad for the environment 🌲.
Dimensions: 125B, 122mm x 66mm x 39.5mm
