Adding to the company’s lineup of boutique pedals, Buzzing Bugs Audio Devices has launched the Bolster two channel giant fuzz.
Bolster’s main channel is a silicon transistor high-gain fuzz which ranges from a classic Tone Bender-esque drive, to a synthy buzzsaw by starving or saturating the circuit with the VOLTS control. The pedal’s SHIFT control gives more control over the tone circuit, providing an incredibly flexible EQ range. The MORE channel is a speaker destroying op-amp one-knob fuzz which gives a monolithic amount of sustain.
The pedal includes the following controls and features:
- VOLTS - Starve or over-supply the transistors in the circuit to sweep from classic tonebender sounds, through to synth-like gated buzzsaw
- SHIFT - Modify the fullness of your signal at the input stage of the pre-amp
- GAIN - Ranging from sparkling cleans to growling fuzz
- TONE - A classic modified Muff-style tone stack with highly flexible EQ sweep
- MASTER - Output volume control
- MORE - The more switch engages the second op-amp fuzz channel
- True bypass switching
- Diecast, robust metal enclosure
- Top-mounted jacks
- 9vDC standard center negative input, PSU not included
Paying homage to the myths and legends of Buzzing Bugs’ home county of Cornwall, England, Bolster is a nod to the heritage and folklore that surrounds Cornish tradition. Bolster, the Cornish Giant, lived near the cliffs of Chapel Porth and terrorized the people of the nearby village. Feasting on children and livestock, Bolster overcame anyone who dared challenge him.
Buzzing Bugs Audio Devices’ Bolster giant fuzz carries a street price of $240 USD / £179.00 and is available direct from www.buzzingbugsfx.com.
