ss/bs HAWK new fuzz!

Sounds pretty gnar. Good for noise rock/lots of feedback.

I fergit...

Is this a germanium Fuzz Face type? With fuzz set to max, maybe?

From what I know, it have a Fuzz Face cirfuit with the fuzz set to max.
With the switch you can put an OD before or after the fuzz circuit.

Look very interesting... and it's not very expensive.
Look like the ultimate garage rock pedal.

I wish for more demo.

Yeah, the whole premise sounds really enticing. I like the Fuzz Face, and I've tried a ton of them, but never the right one. If this is germanium, I'll have to try it out.

it's all silicon... sorry!
it's a single transistor OD and a fuzz face-based circuit in one.
one switch changes the order of the two.
one switch changes the gain/compression by changing the gain of the OD and the voltage of the fuzz at the same time... the fuzz is always at max.
the last switch changes the eq/response in the fuzz face, going from bright to sludge-y.

noisy garage rock fuzz for sure!

So I guess there's no gate... always full blast?

To have some sputtery overtones at low gain.

But the HAWK is something else is a Rock' N Roll machine from hell.
Can't wait for more demo... it look awesome Brian!!

i do think that a fuzz face sounds nice with gain down for sputtery-ness, but i wanted to try something simple, though i guess maybe i should just remove all of the switches then! lol

demo time!

That new demo sound nice [euh angry]. :)
I love it... I might ask you for a custom work around this circuit one of these day.
