Frequently Asked Questions
British Pedal Company has gone to great lengths to replicate the original circuit and component selection, making it remarkably authentic, though subtle differences in component tolerances are inevitable.
The Balance control primarily adjusts the relative levels of the high and low frequencies within the fuzz circuit, influencing the overall character rather than just the volume.
While generally reliable, NKT213s can be sensitive to voltage fluctuations; ensuring a stable power supply is recommended for optimal performance and longevity.
