The Swart FuzzyBoost is a hand-wired, point-to-point
sonic blast to the past with some extra credit, Swart Magic thrown into
the mix. This is no mass market, overseas circuit board, costs us nothing~you
something, cloner pop.
Fuzzy boost allows you to slide
anywhere from slight boost to over the top fuzz at any volume level.
So yes, you too can fuzz patrol at 2am while significant other sleeps
like Baby Daddy Mama.
- Pre Volume
Volume before it hits the circuit
allows you to clean up or drive more intense Fuzz. This is a GREAT
feature that you'll soon come to love.
- Dirt Your
main GAIN level for Fuzzoid Blast
- Post Volume
So you can get the distortion at
any volume level from whisper to Blow Neighbor's
Septic Brain.
Because it's one of
the super sensitive hand-picked Germanium transistors (like our Atomic
Boost), you will have more potential noise from the line, we really
prefer the 9v battery, accessible by unscrewing the
bottom. |

NOTES on Fuzz Operation
One must remember to unplug
the INPUT for longest battery life. Be diligent about this yields a
battery life of half a year or more when used frequently.
We actually do a few mods
to your stock Fuzz.
Battery Shutoff
Switch:
Makes input cable unplug unnecessary ~ $25usd
9v Jack: Now Fuzz can be used on
its own isolated jack on the pedal power +
due to it's positive ground**.
If you do add this mod, no need for battery shutoff switch. ~ $25usd
**NOTE:
So the Fuzz pedal is a positive ground pedal. It needs to run by itself
or other Positive Ground units to isolate it from negative ground
pedals. If you mix the two it will short out the power supply. Positive
ground pedals can be run together on the same adapter. You just can’t
mix positive ground with negative ground pedals.
An option is the Voodoo
Power Supply Pedal Power 2 Plus
***All that being
said, SONICALLY a Cheap 9v battery seems to be the best.
We use the Eveready Carbon Zinc 9V battery.
