{"product_id":"vemuram-shanks-ii-fuzz-299933","title":"Shanks II Fuzz","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"studio and stage\" collaboration around legendary fuzzes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in collaboration with American guitarist and producer John Shanks, the Vemuram Shanks II has a clear goal: to recapture the personality of the most iconic vintage fuzzes while gaining versatility and stability. The concept navigates between the thickness of a fuzz face, the bite of a tone bender, and the rougher texture of a buzzaround, with a modern approach to controls to cover a wide range of guitars and amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Shanks describes it as the \"child\" of two original models with 3 and 4 controls: a fuzz capable of acting like a boost, offering a wide gain palette, and remaining musical when playing with the instrument's volume controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor which guitarists and styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shanks II is aimed at guitarists who want a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-end fuzz pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e that is simple to integrate into a pedalboard, without being limited to a single \"fixed\" sound. If you enjoy sculpting your tone with a pick, fingers, and especially the guitar's volume, it quickly becomes an extension of your playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt excels in \u003cstrong\u003eblues rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eclassic rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epsychedelic\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egarage\u003c\/strong\u003e, and even \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e whenever an articulate fuzz is sought. In the studio, it's formidable for layering tracks with different textures. Live, its \"boost + fuzz\" side allows you to switch from a bright clean verse to a massive chorus without changing your entire amp setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls and features: simple on the surface, precise in detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vemuram Shanks II offers ergonomics designed to focus on essentials while maintaining real customization potential. The \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eTone\u003c\/strong\u003e controls immediately set output volume, saturation amount, and tonal balance. The \u003cstrong\u003eBias (trimmer)\u003c\/strong\u003e allows fine-tuning of the fuzz's response and texture according to your pickups, guitar, and playing dynamics: ideal for achieving a tighter, more open, \"chewy,\" or more aggressive sound depending on use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding pedalboard integration, the pedal is announced as \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, with simple and effective connectivity: one input and one output in 6.35mm Jack format. It can run on a 9V battery or via a regulated 9V DC power supply (center negative), making it compatible with most modern pedalboard power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shanks II stands out with a \u003cstrong\u003ethick yet clear fuzz tone\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a sense of headroom that helps preserve attack and definition even when pushing gain. You can easily get a \"chimey\" and bright side by lowering the guitar volume, then a big, saturated, very lively drive by opening it fully, in the spirit of Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, or Clapton, with dynamics that stay under your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can both strongly color and soften the high end depending on the Tone setting, making it relevant on already bright amps as well as darker setups. According to setups listed on Equipboard, this pedal is notably used by \u003cstrong\u003eWes Borland\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRay Toro\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e, proof of its potential in worlds ranging from alternative rock to more atmospheric textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
