The EQD Black Ash fuzz / overdrive was a limited run when it came out (1500 units) and was built with super duper rare parts like rocking horse droppings and kryptonite (well..things like that anyway!). It's based on a tonebender legend has it...However, you can build your own using far more common parts and it still sounds kick ass. Play around to find the fuzz that suits your amp with this one - another nice small build with a big sound!

Controls:

  • Level - Sets the output volume.
  • Fuzz - Adjusts the amount of gain. Counterclockwise for less fuzz, clockwise for more fuzz
  • Top - Adjusts high frequencies between 2kHz - 10kHz and controls how “forward” the guitar sits in the mix. Counterclockwise for less top, clockwise for more top.

Note: Remember to socket your transistors!
