Sustain, Tone, and Level
Sustain sets the fuzz amount, Tone shapes the frequency response, and Level controls output volume.

Independent shopping perspective
Chelsea puts a modified fuzz circuit associated with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem into a compact EarthQuaker Devices pedal. Sustain moves from lighter overdrive into heavier fuzz, while Tone adjusts the frequency response and Level sets output volume. Flip Tone off to remove that control from the circuit for a simpler fuzz voice with pronounced midrange grind. It is intended for bass, guitar, or keyboards, giving players one control set for adding grit across different instrument rigs. Each pedal is handmade in Akron, Ohio.
