The Damping knob is the real game-changer, allowing you to dial in everything from thick, saturated fuzz to more articulate, almost overdrive-like sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
It tames the low frequencies before they hit the distortion circuit, preventing muddiness and allowing for tighter, more defined fuzz tones – crucial for bass guitar or heavier riffs.
’S’ is a scooped, darker fuzz, ‘N’ is a more neutral and classic fuzz tone, and ‘H’ offers a higher-gain, more aggressive fuzz with more harmonic content.
While designed for guitar, the Damping control makes it exceptionally well-suited for bass; it prevents the low-end from becoming overwhelming and delivers a powerful, defined fuzz tone.
