BRAND NEW IN THE BOX ! 

Jack DeVille Electronics is proud to introduce the new standard in fuzz. Birthed from classic germanium fuzz circuit topology, the BUZZMASTER re-defines what is to be expected from a fuzz pedal.

Discrete germanium design produces tones ranging from raunchy vintage overdrive to contemporary chewy-fur, and even venturing into tight metal and doom territory, all while maintaining touch sensitivity, note attack and natural decay.

The Buzzmaster is billed as having “the most gain of any fuzz you can buy” and also as “the world’s quietest fuzzbox.” I can’t confi rm either claim, but the Buzzmaster does have lots of gain, and is remarkably quiet even when cranked. The sleek, graphically understated pedal is powered by three germanium transistors, employs WIMA coupling capacitors, and sports Deville’s electronically “clickless” true-bypass switching. There’s also a tiny Bias trimpot on the inside for achieving optimal response in varied climes. The Vig (Vigor) control ranges from a splatty but cool overdrive sound to a tight, fullbodied blast with an almost filter-like attack and traces of low-octave heft on certain settings—especially with humbuckerequipped guitars. It isn’t a classic sound, but it kicks ass.
