The Tower

Hybrid Super Fuzz In development

Three stages of saturation, stacked like bricks. The Tower is a hybrid super fuzz that hits your signal three different ways before it ever reaches your amp.

Up front, a JFET pickup impedance simulator tricks the circuit into thinking it’s seeing your guitar pickups directly, even when placed after buffers or other pedals. No more chord mud. Alongside it, a vintage style audio transformer steps your signal up and adds its own iron saturation and harmonic grind. Then a high gain fuzz core pushes everything over the edge, with a toggle to flip between tight, searing silicon and warm, vintage germanium. The Gate knob reshapes the bias of the fuzz core, sweeping from smooth, endless sustain to sputtering, gated chaos. The voltage starve control sags the supply down to dying battery territory for that signature velcro rip. Built to fall apart beautifully.
