Wampler Fuzztration

A beast of an octave fuzz, Wampler’s Fuzztration is a variation of the traditional recipe that uses powerful 3-band equalization and independent fuzz and octave circuits to achieve uncommon flexibility. Fuzztration does classic octave sounds really well, but it opens plenty of other sonic avenues and provides the control—such as placing the octave effect before or after the fuzz—to move in creative and unusual fuzz/octave directions.Read the review
