Frequently Asked Questions
The Sweep control introduces a dynamic frequency shift, essentially 'vocalizing' the fuzz – it can make the tone more aggressive or smoother, almost like a wah without the movement.
It *can* work for bass, but the high-frequency content might be too prominent for some bassists; the Contour switch helps tame it, but it's primarily designed for guitar's higher frequencies.
It’s prone to noise at higher gain settings, so a noise gate or careful gain staging is recommended, especially with a sensitive amp; a quality power supply might also help mitigate some hum.
