Product Description

Erupter Fuzz Effects Pedal. The Erupter is the result of over two years'' worth of tone-chasing, tweaking, and experimentation in search of what EarthQuaker president and product designer Jamie Stillman calls ''the ultimate classic fuzz tone ... with a big low end, but not too mushy, a biting top end without being too harsh, and just enough output to politely send a tube amp over the top.'' In developing the Erupter, Stillman ''[used] every trick [he] ever learned'' to craft a fuzz Device that sounds good with any pickup type anywhere in the effects chain, even before a wah pedal, and without any impedance mismatching. To this end, the Erupter uses a buffered input section, transformer-based pickup simulation, new production 5% 1/2W carbon composition resistors, metallized polyester film capacitors, Sprague and BC electrolytic capacitors, and low-gain, hand-matched NOS silicon transistors to deliver a ''well-rounded and defined fuzz tone with just enough pummeling intensity.'' The Erupter''s simple control set stands in stark relief of its rigorous design process. A single control labeled ''Bias'' adjusts the amount of voltage fed to the NOS silicon transistors. Low ''Bias'' settings yield a rude, spongy fuzz tone with plenty of sag and a blossoming attack envelope that''s gated without entering ''dying battery'' territory. As the ''Bias'' control is increased, additional harmonics stack atop the input signal, producing a stiffer, more complex fuzz tone with a tighter response, increased output, and longer sustain. The Erupter uses a fixed output level and gain setting for the ''thickest fuzz possible,'' and to ''push the full frequency range of the guitar out front when you kick it on.''
