The controls are two more to alter the tone of this fuzz. We added a clean-up knob which is lowering the input signal. This is great to cut the bass response if using a guitar with more output (maybe a humbucker). Our AUSTIN PRIDE has a bias knob to change the sound in the way you like it. THE BIGGEST clou is to have both, 2x germanium and 2x silicon transistors ! ALSO, you can mix them (check the bias if mixing them) No worries about the germanium side in a hot club or in the summer time. Our CV military specs transistors are alwyas stable, even it is hot. - do you know that the guitar volume clean up is mostly affectet by the bias of your fuzz face style pedal ? KNOBS: level, fuzz, bias, clean-up (lowers the input signal) -9v battery use (not incl.)-9v DC power supply, center negative (not incl.) -125B enclosure (size differs sometimes about 1-2mm, depending on the manufacturer) -IN and OUT jacks on top -9v DC jack on top -jewel amp light -true bypass -2x germanium CV military specs transistors - temperature stable germanium transistors !!!! - 2x silicon NTE123 transistors -2x mini toggle to mix the transistors or playing only the germanium or silicon side NOTE - Every pedal is slightly different in finish.
