Filter control
Rolls off highs for a woolier fuzz character or adds treble for a brighter distortion sound.

Independent shopping perspective
Katzenkönig combines fuzz and distortion in a three-control format with volume, filter, and sustain. Its Tone Bender MKII-based circuit covers mild overdrive through searing distortion, and the filter shifts the voice from darker, woolier fuzz toward a brighter, more cutting sound. Turn up Sustain for increased gain and compression, with maximum settings aimed at extended sustain. Powering it at 9V or 18V changes the response, while the pedal retains touch sensitivity with humbuckers or single coils.
