Fuzz Pedal Placement

  1. HomeKnowledge BaseFuzz Pedal Placement

Fuzz Pedal Placement

It is recommended that the MERCURY vacuum tube fuzz is placed first in your signal chain. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the tube input stage of the MERCURY can interact with your pickups when connected directly to your guitar which allows for greater tonal variations. With the guitar volume up full the Helios can create some devastating, sustained, hairy fuzz tones, however when the guitar volume control is rolled back the MERCURY will clean-up to produce some beautiful and natural sounding (real!) tube bluesy overdrive tones. Additionally, the MERCURY has an incredible amount of gain and is super sensitive to any incoming signals and noise from other effects pedals – it will magnify anything you put into the input. This means any hiss, hum, small switching ‘pops’ or ‘thumps’ may become obtrusive. So for best tone and lowest noise results MERCURY first!

These two audio tools do essentially the same job These two audio tools do essentially the same job—compress (level out the dynamics) your guitar signal using class-A vacuum tube electronics and photocells. However, the Leveling Amplifier has a few extra bells and whistles up it's sleeves. It was primarily designed following requests from sound engineers and musicians for a four knob version of our PC-2A photo-optical tube compressor to include 'attack' and 'knee' knobs. We took this on board but, being engineers, we also added several other really cool features including balanced transformer isolated output, gain pad, tube boost, dynamic equaliser and parallel tube input stage (4 triode tube gain stages in parallel) for hyper-quiet operation.#effectrode #PC-2A #compressor #compressorpedal #levelingamplifier #tubeeffects #guitarpedals #guitarfx #effectspedals #guitar #pedalboard #guitareffects  #guitargear #guitarist #knowyourtone #guitarpedal #stompbox #guitarplayer #geartalk #fxpedals #guitars #electricguitar #pedalboards #guitare #guitarra #chitarra
