The Super Badass Variac Fuzz is aggressive, biting and very versatile, with a Variac control to change the pedal voltage from 5V to 15V for a range of fuzz tones. Go from vintage flaccid saturation to wide open transparency with the twist of a knob.
The Super Badass Variac Fuzz is a dream come true for guitarists looking for a vintage fuzz sound. This tasty fuzz is aggressive and biting, and with the twist of a knob, you can drag it into that dying drum territory prized by tonechasers - no need to manage a collection of half-dead drums.
To create the Super Badass Variac Fuzz, the MXR design team dusted off a rare vintage silicon circuit, tuned it up, and added a Variac control so you can set the pedal's voltage from 5 to 15 volts. For that wonderful flaccid fuzz effect you get as a 9V battery loses power, simply lower the voltage by turning the Variac knob counterclockwise. Increasing the voltage increases the headroom of the effect, opening up the fuzz for a more transparent sound at 15V.
The Super Badass Variac Fuzz's simple interface is complemented by tone, output and gain controls, and it all comes in a road-ready enclosure with true bypass switching.
