Fuzz Pedals

Distortion and overdrive are forms of audio signal processing used to alter the sound of amplified electric musical instruments, usually by increasing their gain, producing a "fuzzy", "growling", or "gritty" tone. Distortion is most commonly used with the electric guitar, but may also be used with other electric instruments such as bass guitar, electric piano, and Hammond organ. Guitarists playing electric blues originally obtained an overdriven sound by turning up their vacuum tube-powered guitar amplifiers to high volumes, which caused the signal to distort. While overdriven tube amps are still used to obtain overdrive, especially in genres like blues and rockabilly, a number of other ways to produce distortion have been developed since the 1960s, such as distortion effect pedals.

The OTP or One Trick Pony is a clone of an Ampeg Scrambler with the "Texture" and "Balance" knobs turned all the way up. With these settings, it's good for one thing and one thing only... Octave fuzz. The story behind this pedal is this... Chris Robertson from the band Black Stone Cherry asked me if I'd make him an Ampeg Scrambler clone, except he didn't want any knobs on the enclosure. He said he just turns them both all the way up and he doesn't want to worry about the knobs getting bumped. So, I took some small trim pots and soldered them to the board. This way, the "Texture" and "Balance" can still be adjusted to taste, but you have to take the back of the enclosure off. With the knobs turned all the way up, and on the neck pickup, you get an amazing, fuzzy, octave affect. Think of the solo in Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
