{"product_id":"kma-audio-machines-fuzzly-bear-2-366796","title":"Fuzzly Bear 2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom Jordan Boss Tone to the Fuzzly Bear 2: a cult fuzz updated\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fuzzly Bear 2 is part of KMA Machines' DNA: capturing a very distinctive vintage character, then making it more reliable, flexible, and consistent in a modern setup. The starting point is a often underestimated 70s silicon fuzz, the Jordan Bosstone, known for its textures that are both rough and surprisingly musical when the right setting is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the original could lack lows and be temperamental (awkward format and integration), KMA reworked the circuit to preserve the attack and \"old school\" vibe, while \u003cstrong\u003erecovering low-end content\u003c\/strong\u003e and adding a \u003cstrong\u003eBias control\u003c\/strong\u003e that opens sonic areas impossible on a simpler fuzz. Version 2 pushes the idea further with a modern enclosure featuring top jacks, silent relay switching, and optimized electronics, all handmade in Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for, what styles, and in what context?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KMA Machines Fuzzly Bear 2 is aimed at guitarists (and bassists) who want an expressive fuzz, capable of \u003cstrong\u003ecleaning up with volume\u003c\/strong\u003e and changing personality depending on attack and Bias setting. It suits both intermediate players looking for their first \"signature\" fuzz and pedal veterans who want a rarer texture than a classic fuzz like the Fuzz Face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStylistically, it feels at home in \u003cstrong\u003egarage\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estoner\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ealternative rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epsych\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also in more modern contexts where \u003cstrong\u003esynthy\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egated\u003c\/strong\u003e, and almost \u003cstrong\u003ephantom octave\u003c\/strong\u003e sounds are sought for monophonic riffs or leads that cut through the mix. In the studio, it excels at doubling a track with a controlled fuzz rich in harmonics; live, its compact format and top jacks facilitate clean pedalboard integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, ergonomics, and design: simple on the surface, very rich in use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fuzzly Bear 2 goes straight to the point with a short and effective interface. The \u003cstrong\u003eGAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the amount of saturation and fuzz structure: at low settings, you get a grain close to a dirty, thick, slightly fizzing overdrive; as you increase it, compression sets in and the texture becomes hairier. At maximum gain, the pedal shifts to a more \"starved\" behavior, with note decay that can tighten and produce that very addictive gated sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSKIN\/MEAT\u003c\/strong\u003e control is the heart of the personality: it acts on the circuit's \u003cstrong\u003eBias\u003c\/strong\u003e. Towards SKIN, the fuzz is more nervous, sharper, with a more pronounced attack and an aggressive drive side. Moving towards MEAT, the sound thickens, becomes more \"meaty,\" with thicker saturation and harmonics that can recall a distant octave depending on the guitar, pickup, and register played. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eVOL\u003c\/strong\u003e aligns the bypass level or pushes an amp's input: the pedal performs very well in front of an already crunchy channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitching is \u003cstrong\u003esoft and silent\u003c\/strong\u003e (relay) and the \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves signal integrity when the effect is off. The \u003cstrong\u003etop-mounted jacks\u003c\/strong\u003e optimize space, a real plus when every centimeter counts on a pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect an \u003cstrong\u003eorganic\u003c\/strong\u003e fuzz with a decidedly \u003cstrong\u003evintage\u003c\/strong\u003e grain, but with more low-end presence than some seventies references. It retains a very musical \"chewy\" character, with compression that can stay soft and warm, then become harder and chopped as gain is pushed and Bias shifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDynamics are one of its strengths: neck pickup for thick, creamy pads; bridge pickup for biting leads and snapping riffs; and good clean-up potential with the guitar's volume knob on moderate settings. Among notable users, the pedal appears on modern rock-oriented pedalboards, notably with \u003cstrong\u003eChris Hell (FJORT)\u003c\/strong\u003e, illustrating its playground: massive, textured guitars that remain clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
