Inspired by a little-known fuzz box called "Fuzzy Nuts" (not a made-up word), the Golden Fleece is a versatile dirtbox that perfectly blends fuzz, distortion and overdrive into one little golden box. One knob controls only the output of the circuit, so gain level and tone are adjusted with your fingers and your guitar's controls. With all the knobs turned down, you get a powerful, rich fuzz sound that sounds great when you push your amp. Inside the Golden Fleece, you'll find a different type of fuzz than a one-knob pedal. This pedal doesn't rely on a transistor pair for fuzz, but instead uses a very special silicon-germanium diode pair. Zach selected a very special NOS germanium diode that gives the Golden Fleece a unique and versatile fuzz voice. There are no other internal settings, pots, switches, etc. The philosophy behind this pedal is to just switch on your mind and play your guitar. Like many fuzz pedals before it, the Golden Fleece has its quirks. It works best before a buffer. This includes buffered tuners, buffered effects loops, switching systems, etc. Buffers slow down the response and significantly change the tone of the pedal. Likewise, the Golden Fleece is power and signal sensitive, so for best tone, use a high-quality isolated power supply and good quality cables.・9VDC power supply (center negative) Approximately 10mA current consumption True bypass switching Mono input and output Enclosure dimensions: 3.65 x 1.53 x 1.07
