New Wave
FUZZ
Description
This high-gain fuzz pedal is a faithful recreation of the rare vintage Univox Square Wave circuit, famously utilized during the recording sessions for Nirvana's final studio album. It features a unique control scheme where the Balance knob acts as a volume cut—maintaining unity gain at its maximum setting—and the Wave control functions as a frequency-dependent bass cut. Modern enhancements include a specialized modification to reduce the inherent circuit hiss of the original design and the addition of a bypass indicator LED. The pedal utilizes NOS 1960s Germanium clipping diodes to deliver dark, asymmetrical fuzz tones with a gritty, aggressive character. Its compact enclosure features aesthetic nods to the original unit while offering a more rugged construction for contemporary pedalboards. The circuit is specifically voiced to achieve raw, "In Utero" style saturation with minimal tweaking.Media
