ELECTRO HARMONIX RIPPED SPEAKER FUZZ
 |
| $100.00 USD |
Whether planned or found by accident but the there has been a myth that cutting a speaker with a razor blade or otherwise tearing a speaker cone and diming an amp will give you the sound imitated in this case by messing with the bias on a transistor which happened by usually starving voltage to a transistor.
It is probably this pedal started life as a Muff circuit
You can easily see that we have the usual volume, tone and Fuzz/gain knob but the knob labeled 'Rip' is simply a BIAS control.
CONCLUSION
It does what it is meant to do and certainly has its appeal. I find it a bit thin when the effect does its best feature. You can kill the highs and really fatten it up but it goes into blend of mud and signal deterioration so you get unusable sputters. Different? Yes ...but good?
Buy their E-H Big Muff Op-Amp Fuzz.
