Barktone Fuzz

BARKTONE FUZZ

The Barktone is an all-analog silicone style fuzz, capable of huge heavy power chords, brittle, screaming leads, Drop C Djenting and everything in between. Utilizing Darlington transistors, as well as 1960s carbon comp resistors in key moments of the audio path to create a fuzz that is as vintage as it is revolutionary.

The Gain section:
The LEVEL knob adjusts how loud the pedal can be going from barely audible, to a nominal level, and finally to a large boost in dB.

The SAG knob will change the bias of the Darlington transistors. Lowering the voltage creates a starved effect that interacts with the fuzz knob in surprising and unexpected ways. This will allow you to emulate that dying battery sound going from glitchy splattered sounds to fully saturated, long sustaining notes.

The FUZZ knob adjusts the amount of fuzz the pedal will output. Do you want more fuzz? Turn the knob up and you shall receive it.

The GRIT switch changes between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping. Symmetrical clipping creates a more compressed, sustaining sound. Asymmetric clipping increases clarity and dynamics. This switch can also be used to eliminate phasing issues when double-tracking

The Tone section:
The EQ switch allows you to select boosted mids, flat mids, or scooped mids to sculpt your tone in order to fit well in any mix.

The TONE knob isa dual-mode filter, allowing you to accentuate the low and high frequencies while maintaining transparent mids. this can get into bright fizzle on top sounds or bass heavy growls.

Each PBJ effects pedal is designed in small batches and hand-crafted in Phoenix AZ. While every pedal has the same internal circuit, each individual enclosure will feature unique artwork following the theme of the batch and no two pedals will look the exact same!

Features:
One-of-a-kind, custom art
True bypass
Top-mounted I/O jacks
Standard 9v center negative input: use only at 9v DC
Dying battery emulation via the "Sag" knob

Made in Arizona,  USA

From The Builder: 
Every pedal that leaves my bench is hand-built with care and crafted with a deep love for tone, texture, and musical expression. Each unit also features completely unique, one-of-a-kind artwork which no two are ever the same. I run a small-batch operation focused on quality, creativity, and character. I believe your gear should inspire you every time you turn it on.
Thanks for checking out my work and supporting independent builders. It truly means the world.
