Designed and hand-built (by Mario) in Canada.
The Fuzz Loop™ is a single loop switcher that combines our un-buffer and Class-A input buffer. It is specifically designed to interface germanium fuzz and impedance sensitive pedals with wireless systems and active pickup equipped guitars.
Guitars and analog pedals have a dynamic and interdependent relationship. When they are connected together, the signal that passes between them and what is produced, is a direct result of the unique characteristics of the two connected devices. So, you can't substitute either of them and expect the exact same result.
But the Fuzz Loop™ can get you exceptionally close! It'll make your germanium fuzz or other impedance sensitive pedal think that it has a guitar connected directly to its input.
The discrete Class-A buffer has an input impedance and other finely tuned characteristics which mimic that of tube amplifier inputs. It'll safeguard, strengthen, and prepare your fuzz signal for whatever follows on a pedalboard and in a rig.
The buffer presents the fuzz pedal's output with a dynamic and ideal load that remains steadfast — resulting in consistent tone while still allowing it to breathe and feel — as if it were plugged directly into the front of a beloved tube amplifier.
The "Remote" version is in a low profile enclosure and can be mounted on or under any pedalboard. It's controlled via ¼" TS function switching jack, found on most MIDI switchers and MIDI controllers, and remote foot-switches.
