SON OF FREAKENSTEIN

Massive fuzz tones.
Harmonic overtone fully adjustable.
Built-in noise gate.
'Signal present' LED action.

This a stripped-down version of
the Dr Freakenstein Fuzz DrFF-3.
It has the same full-on distortion circuit, housed in its own original design steel desk-type enclosure, and with true bypass footswitching.

TONE AND OVERTONE

Son Of Freakenstein has a thick fuzz sound with lots of low-end,
and with a harmonic overtone
effect that's altered by turning the 'OSC' knob on the upper panel (between the input and output sockets). The range and intensity
of this aspect is also changed by throwing the knifeswitch on the top panel to 'Hi' or 'Lo; it's either in-
your-face and edgy, or more 'within' the sound and lower pitched.
In fact, when you use your guitar's neck pickup - tone rolled off - and the pedal on the 'Lo' knifeswitch setting with the 'OSC' knob at its lower end, a low - perfectly tracking - octave note
is available.

This pedal has lots of volume available, and it's adjusted using
a screwdriver on the trimpot mounted inside on the circuit
board, accessible by removing
the bassplate. Set your optimum output level, then replace the bassplate safe in the knowledge that the volume will stay how you want it. (See FAQ's for more Son
Of Freakenstein details)

GATED

The way that this fuzz circuit works means that it has a built-in noise
gate - and pre-set to the ideal sound. The result is that this
pedal- like the Dr Freakenstein Fuzz - is weirdly silent between notes,
missing out all the hums and hisses usually associated with hi-gain fuzz, but with full attack and sustain
when you play, the prescence of a signal shown visually by the spooky LEDs under the knifeswitch turning from green to red.
