Utopian Fuzz

At the heart of the Utopian Fuzz’s tone are germanium diodes. This results in rich harmonic content and a compressed, dynamic fuzz that feels organic and raw.
The circuit produces a waveform closer to a square wave, contributing to its aggressive, buzzy tone. This makes it ideal for heavy riffs, lead lines, or any part needing thick, saturated fuzz.

Balance: Controls the output level of the pedal.
Expander: Acts as a fuzz intensity control, letting you dial in anything from mild grit to extreme, sputtering fuzz.

Two-Position Tone Switch (Mid-Boost / Mid-Scoop)
This switch provides two distinct voicings:
-Tone 1 (Mid-Boost): Punchy and present, great for cutting through a mix.
-Tone 2 (Mid-Scoop): Hollow and gnarly, perfect for doom, stoner rock, or psychedelic textures.

Two-Position Mode Switch: This switch allows you to choose between two modes:
Switch: The classic mode in which the tone is determined by one of the two previously mentioned positions.
Knob: The ability to mix between Tone 1 and Tone 2 using the tone knob.

Thanks to its unique diode-based circuit, the Utopian Fuzz produces a natural upper-octave overtone, especially prominent on higher notes or when playing double stops. This octave fuzz is a defining trait of the Utopian Fuzz’s sound.
