EarthQuaker Devices Barrows Fuzz Effects Pedal

The Barrows pays homage to the classic three-transistor TB MkII. Jamie(EarthQuaker Devices) has modernized the circuit to be dependable, to correct the phase, and buffer the output. At its heart, Barrows features a trio of carefully matched germanium transistors nestled within finely tuned circuitry that has been lovingly coaxed to produce everything from light, singing distortion to crushing fuzz tones with nearly infinite harmonic-rich sustain. The Barrows features two elegantly simple controls that unlock a universe of fuzz possibilities: Level controls the output volume of the Barrows. Unity gain sits around noon, but you'll find plenty of volume boost available when you need to push your amplifier into blissful submission. Attack is where the magic happens. At lower settings, Barrows provides singing, amp-like distortion with superb touch sensitivity. As you rotate clockwise, the circuit transforms into an increasingly aggressive fuzz monster, building to crushing, sustain-drenched tones that seem to go on forever. The wide range of this control means you can find everything from gentle breakup to full-on sonic annihilation. • MFSKU Barrows • UPC 810019915284
