Fuzz Friday! Freppo over at Parasit Studios makes some insanely cool stuff. Here’s his Eagle Claw octave fuzz. You can probably squeeze it into a 1590a if you’re feeling adventurous. In his own words:
The Eagle Claw is simple yet brutal, noisy and glitchy sounding
CMOS-based fuzz with a full wave rectifier to produce a strong
octave up.
This circuit works best with high output pickups. It is a gated circuit
by nature of the CMOS logic. If you are using single coils and need
more sustain, try a boost or compressor in front. To bring out the
strongest octave up, use the neck pickup on your guitar with the
tone rolled down. The octave is most intense around the 10th fret
and higher.
