A Modular Fuzz That Pays Tribute to the Legends
The Jackson Audio FUZZ captures the spirit of historic fuzz circuits and unites them in a unique modular format. It features flavors ranging from Fuzz Face or Tone Bender saturations to Octavia textures, while offering flexibility impossible on vintage models. It stands as the versatile fuzz of the Jackson Audio range, designed to evolve with your needs.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for guitarists of all levels seeking a fuzz capable of delivering in both studio and live settings. Blues-rock, classic rock, psychedelic, garage, stoner, or experimental music: the FUZZ covers a wide range. Its great "clean-up" ability at guitar volume will delight purists, while its built-in octave and EQ will appeal to modern pedalboard tinkerers.
Key Features and Controls
The analog plug-in system transforms the pedal simply by swapping modules. The "Modern Fuzz" module (included) excels from smooth, velvety settings to more gritty tones, while cleaning up perfectly at volume. The "Modern Fuzz Deluxe" adds two clipping behaviors via jumpers: DIST for soft, wide clipping, OD for a vintage overdrive touch.
The fully 3-band parametric EQ offers external BASS/MID/TREBLE levels (+/-20 dB), a front MID FREQ control, and internal trimmers for BASS FREQ, BASS Q, MID Q, TREBLE FREQ, and TREBLE Q. The OCTAVE section includes a BLEND control to mix clean signal with fuzz/octave; fully engaged, it delivers a sharp octave, recessed it serves as an ideal boost to push the fuzz.
The Sound
The FUZZ offers a wide spectrum: smooth and singing grains, thick and creamy fuzz, gated and modern "velcro" textures. The midrange is finely adjustable to stand out in a dense rock mix, while the dynamics respond sensitively to playing and the guitar's volume knob. The octave adds bite and an "old-school" brightness perfect for psychedelic leads.

Questions frequently asked
What types of fuzz can the Jackson Audio FUZZ produce?
The included Modern Fuzz module covers smooth and velvety textures up to more gritty and aggressive tones, with the guitar volume knob providing a clean boost.

Does the fuzz have a built-in octave?
The OCTAVE section includes a BLEND control that mixes the clean signal with the fuzz/octave. At maximum, it produces a sharp octave; lower settings can be used to drive the fuzz circuit harder.
How does the 3-band equalizer work?
The parametric EQ offers external BASS, MID, and TREBLE controls with +/-20 dB adjustment, as well as a MID FREQ knob. Internal trimmers adjust the frequency centers and Q factors of the three bands.
What power supply is required for this fuzz pedal?
A DC 9 V maximum power supply with center negative polarity is required, providing at least 50 mA of current.
Is this pedal suitable for an electric guitar and a pedalboard?
Designed for electric guitar, it has an input impedance of 1 MΩ and an output impedance of 100 kΩ. Its enclosure measures approximately 69 x 124 mm, a size suitable for integration on a pedalboard.
