Wampler Pedals Velvet Fuzz - Manual (Page 2)

Fuzz – As you can probably guess, this controls the amount of fuzz
that is heard. The more you turn it clockwise, the fuzzier the sound will
become. As usual the amount of fuzz achieved and the style of the
fuzz differs depending on where the switch is. This is explained fully
below.
Brightness – This adjusts between a much darker, bassier sound at the
fully counterclockwise position, to a very highs-forward, present
sound fully clockwise. As with most tonal adjustments, you're proba-
bly going to find the right fit for your gear somewhere between the
extremes. It's not a bad idea to start at noon and adjust in small
increments from there to let your ears get used to the sound of the
pedal as you raise or lower the Brightness knob. You will find that this
knob reacts differently depending on the voicing option, again - play
with it on each setting and see which one is best for you
Big / Tight – The beauty of this pedal is the options you get from this
switch. With the switch in the up position, you will get a bigger sound
that has a fat but creamy fuzz quality to it but cleans up with the
guitar's volume control just as good (if not better) than those vintage
2 knob fuzz pedals.The volume pot on the guitar can really change the
dynamics in this position.
In the down position, the tone is tighter and feels a bit more distortion
like – yet a creamy fuzz tone that is bordering on the edge between
distortion and fuzz. Again, it’s really worth taking the time to hear the
difference in flipping between these two and finding which of the
tones will work best for you.
IMPORTANT.
Placing the pedal after a buffer may make it react AND sound different
from design. It is best placed outside or before any buffering.
Power Requirements
The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery. The battery terminal is located inside the pedal. If
using a power supply, power needed for the pedal is 9V DC, regulated, center pin negative, as
supplied by most standard Boss™/Ibanez™/Etc. supplies. The pedal can be safely powered with a
multi-supply, like the Visual Sound 1SPOT™. The pedal was designed explicitly around the usage
of a 9V DC power source, and is intended to sound its best at 9V. To avoid damage to the pedal,
do not exceed 9V DC, do not use center pin positive adapters, and do not use AC power. Using an
incorrect power adapter can lead to damage and will void the warranty on the pedal. This pedal
draws 23mA.
Please note: If you are using a battery, it will drain when the input cord is plugged in.
