The Sensation Fuzzdrive is as unique as it is versatile. It’s a blend of fuzz and overdrive that can’t be fully classified as either. Overdrives generally give an excellent punch, but in the search for more gain the sound can get a little thin. Fuzz pedals provide great warmth, but obliterating the signal can get a little chaotic. The Sensation Fuzzdrive attempts to bring out the best of both by blending that punchiness and warmth, without sacrificing body or getting too “fizzy.” At its core, it’s a tool to push your signal hard without the chaos. It goes from a fuzzy low-end to crisp, overdriven mids, sure to make a screaming solo really jump out in a mix.
The fuzz aspect provides just enough compression to smooth out the breakup. But don’t be mistaken, the end result is anything but smooth. Even as a single-stage drive, this pedal can provide a crushing amount of gain.
Tone-shaping is achieved through three distinct transistor-based gain stages controlled by the “Saturator,” with an additional gain switch providing hi/low options. There are three tuned settings for mids-presence and another three for bass-presence. These functions expand your range and maximize precision. Whether at home or in a variety of live and studio environments, the Sensation Fuzzdrive will be a welcome addition to your rig.
Features:
Up to 3 selectable gain stages
Additional gain bump option at each saturation level
Separate bass and mids switches
9V DC. (Center Negative)
97mA draw
**Note** It is recommended to run a non-buffered signal into the pedal. For all you that use the Boss TU-2 or TU-3 tuners (or any other buffered bypass pedal), put this BEFORE the tuner in your signal.
