The MXR Super Badass Variac Fuzz delivers aggressive and biting fuzz tones, inspired by vintage silicon circuits. Its unique Variac control allows you to adjust the voltage from 5V to 15V, emulating the sag of a dying battery or providing increased headroom for a more transparent sound. With simple Tone, Output, and Gain controls, this pedal offers a wide range of fuzz variations. The road-ready housing includes true bypass switching, making it a versatile and reliable choice for guitarists seeking classic fuzz sounds.
The Super Badass Variac Fuzz is a dream come true for guitar players chasing vintage fuzz tone. This tasty fuzz is aggressive and biting, and with the twist of a knob, you can drag it into that dying battery territory much prized by tonechasers-no need to manage a collection of half-dead batteries.
To create the Super Badass Variac Fuzz, the MXR design team dusted off a rare vintage silicon circuit, tuned it up, and added a Variac control so you can set the pedal's voltage anywhere from 5 to 15V. For that wonderful saggy fuzz effect you get as a 9V battery loses its power, just lower the voltage by turning the Variac knob counterclockwise. Increasing the voltage raises the effect's headroom, opening up the fuzz for a more transparent sound at 15V.
The Super Badass Variac Fuzz's simple interface is rounded out with Tone, Output, and Gain controls, and it all comes in a road-ready housing with true bypass switching.
