The Return of MONOLITH Fuzz

Post by Gunner Recall »

That's right...word is starting to spread that MONOLITH fuzz is back in business

He's starting off with a few new offerings, The Dark Horse boost and The Grey Owl fuzz

"The Dark Horse is a dual stage Germanium / MOSFET boost. While I'm billing the Dark Horse specifically as a boost, it is definitely not CLEAN by any means. It can deliverGe OD & mild fuzz tones with lots of output. It's COLOR knob let's you dial in the amount of low end you want which helps to shape the character of the DH... Low COLOR settings let the low end grit shine through, and allow a fuzzier nature. Mid & Higher COLOR settings will get you OD & treble boosted tones.
Varying the DRIVE pot adjusts the level of drive in the Germanium stage, which feeds into the following MOSFET stage ( controlled by the BOOST pot). All knobs are highly interactive. The DarkHorse is tuned to be "loose" and saggy feeling, because I hate boosts that feel tight, brittle & harsh.

The Grey Owl is a three stage Silicon fuzz that is really excellent for achieving a wide range of OD & moderate fuzz tones, and really shines as a rhythm box for heavy Si tones. Lots of output on this beast, too. There is certainly a Substantial Muff flavor here, but with a much more open and airy character in low Drive settings. No mud, less compression than your typical Muff. Nowhere near as "Splatty" as a lot of Si fuzzes.... The tone stack is voiced to pivot around a very vocal midrange center point. "

There are rumors of an incorporeal spirit fuzz of yore making an appearance in the coming months.
