金 Metal Fuzz, inspired by the Chinese philosophy of the five elements where "金" (Metal) symbolizes strength, clarity, and purity, is a meticulously crafted Fuzz Face clone that blends iconic fuzz tones with modern versatility through a bias modification.
Housed in a pristine white enclosure—reflecting the traditional association of the Metal element with the color white in Chinese culture—this pedal combines vintage-inspired sound with a culturally resonant aesthetic, making it a unique and striking addition to any guitarist’s pedalboard.
金 Metal pedal recreates the legendary Fuzz Face circuit, known for its rich, harmonic distortion and dynamic response, famously used by artists like Jimi Hendrix.
Built with silicon transistors for brighter, more stable performance, it captures the classic Fuzz Face sound while introducing a Bias control for enhanced tonal flexibility.
This mod allows players to adjust the transistor bias, unlocking a spectrum of sounds—from smooth, velvety overdrive to aggressive, gated fuzz—tailored to individual playing styles and setups.
The pedal features three core controls:
Volume: Adjusts the output level, ensuring seamless integration with your rig.
Fuzz (Gain): Dials in the intensity of distortion, from subtle grit to full-on fuzz chaos.
Bias: Fine-tunes the transistor operation, offering unique tonal variations and enhanced responsiveness to guitar volume adjustments.
The elegant white enclosure, inspired by the Metal element’s traditional color in Chinese culture, adds a sophisticated and symbolic aesthetic, embodying purity and clarity while standing out on any pedalboard.
