When the LED turns green, the warmer is off because the correct bias and hFE have been set. Expect the LED to toggle back and forth every so often while the pedal is on…that is how you know its working. The heaters will warm the transistors enough to still be effective on a sunny stage, but far cooler than anything that would harm the transistors.

In this case, we set our eyes on the MK1 fuzz (which is itself a modified version of the very first fuzz ever). We kept the original controls (FILTER and VOLUME), and added a TONE control and a TRIM control to expand the palette of sounds available. Buffer and pedal order friendly (but with no pickup simulation, we had to tweak the output circuit this time).

When the LED is amber, the transistors are warming up to increase their hFE (transistor gain) and to shift the bias point to the correct voltage. When the LED turns green, the warmer is off because the correct bias and hFE have been set. Expect the LED to toggle back and forth every so often while the pedal is on...that is how you know its working. The heaters will warm the transistors enough to still be effective on a summer stage, but far cooler than anything that would harm the transistors. This pedal is designed to operate between freezing and 100F but might still sound fine outside this range....up to about 120F where we’ve found germanium straight up ceases to function...which can happen if it’s left in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCONTROLS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e TRIM is a gain control right before the two amplifying germanium transistors...turned all the way up is how the stock design is all the time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e FILTER manipulates both the gain and the bias point of the first gain stage. When turned down it will take away gain, bass frequency response, and will bring in to a gentle dynamic expander type effect (where quiet notes will be quieter than normal, the opposite of a compressor) TRIM and FILTER are interactive and there are many different flavors of fuzz and distortion to dial in. This pedal will not clean all the way up, even at low trim volumes there will be some distortion (in a nice way). This control will crackle a bit when turned, since there is some DC across it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e TONE is a low pass filter at the end of the circuit, carefully designed to act almost like a tilt EQ to balance the bright attack and full body of the sound, made possible by the original circuit being WAY brighter than the bypassed guitar signal...we think we’ve struck a good balance here.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e VOLUME is the output level...which we’ve increased many orders of magnitude from the original.

We add a second delay channel using its own different detector to try to achieve some through-zero flanging and tri-chorus sounds. The two wet signals and the dry signal have independent volume control (DRY, WET A, and WET B) to blend the signals together. The two wet signals have independent intensity controls (INTENSITY A and INTENSITY B) corresponding to the respective volume controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFinally, we add a latching footswitch feature called GHOSTS which creates feedback right on the verge of oscillation in both of the delay lines, leading to some very odd sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe result is a versatile effects box that yields both borderline conventional sounds (it can sound great as a chorus or slapback) and a vast array of weirder sounds that defy categories... flanging, modulated reverb, notes flying everywhere in unpredictable ways, swirling high frequency sighs etc. It’s so weird and unique that it creates a scene whenever people try it out for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1722437037037_703\" class=\"\"\u003eWe are especially excited to see how people apply it to music production...vocals and drums and synths...the possibilities seem wild and endless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Echoinox","offers":[{"title":"Pink","offer_id":42256912908359,"sku":"850050929123","price":328.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":42256912941127,"sku":"850050929147","price":328.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2221\/6669\/files\/BensonFlorist.png?v=1722437429"},{"product_id":"benson-deep-sea-diver-fuzz-echo","title":"Benson Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA WORD FROM JESSICA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“When Benson first asked me what I wanted out of a pedal, I asked if he could smash together my favorite fuzz tones and vintage echos. One of my favorite pedal configurations has always been running my echos \u0026amp; delays before my dirt pedals to get unorthodox sounds. So, we started there and it morphed into a pedal than became bigger and wider than what we initially had imagined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo call this simply a ‘gated fuzz pedal with an echo feature’ would be an injustice to its essence! Beyond the splatty gated sounds, I wanted a fuzz that could get wooly and straight forward, or shake hands with my favorite gauzy My Bloody Valentine textures. I wanted it to clean up nice and work as a treble booster for my guitar solos, or sound like a foreign landscape of oscillation and interrupting textures. Simply put, it has become the most interesting and versatile pedal on my board.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSTRONG FLAVORS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the last 3 (!) years, we’ve been working with our long time friend and associate Jessica Dobson from the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver to take her signature sound (fuzz and delay) and put it into one box. We started with a silicon three-transistor fuzz variant (kind of a deranged mashup of mk1.5 and mk2) and tweaked it into oblivion. Its two main controls (bias and gate) cover a wide range of sounds from agressive treble booster to thick, dark textured fuzz to the gated skronky sounds often found in the Deep Sea Diver discography. These controls are interactive and change the EQ and distortion profile with even small tweaks...a lot of fun to be had!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe echo is from a tweaked data-sheet PT2399 that is perfectly tuned to the fuzz side and has the standard time, feedback and level (echo) controls. Holding down the footswitch will send the echo into sustained feedback at some settings, which, in conjunction with a short delay time, is a sound that can be found all over DSD records. We recommend holding this down....whenever.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne unique feature of the Fuzz-Echo is the ability to change the fuzz and echo orders...this is done by powering the pedal on while the footswitch is depressed. The LED will be green if fuzz is before echo, and orange if echo is before fuzz (this is our favorite)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Fuzz-Echo does not care where it is in the signal chain, or what guitar (or bass! or synth!) is used. It will have a small amount of hiss, even on “cleaner” settings. If you find yourself thinking about the hiss, our advice is to play a guitar solo instead!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePOWER SUPPLY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis pedal is for use only with a 9vdc Boss syle center negative power supply...There is no battery.

The Germanium Boost is a master class in elegant electronic design, containing an automatic biasing circuit that elevates even the worst old stock transistor into a colorful gain stage. As soon as we got our hands on a Germanium Boost for the first time, we knew these circuits were made for each other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth sides are individually switchable. By default, the Boost is fed into the Halberd—it’s the perfect way to kick the drive sound into high gear. To add further versatility, we broke out separate inputs and outputs for each pedal. The output of the Boost is normalled to the input of the Halberd by default, but you are free to route them any way you like. Put other pedals between them, swap the order, even run them in parallel in a dual mono configuration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe artwork features a medieval spin on the iconic Benson amps floral tolex pattern, serving as a visual expression of our mutual mind meld.
