The pedal’s fuzz drive is generated by an internal 12AU7 tube section.

Independent shopping perspective
Walrus Audio’s black Silt is a tube-driven fuzz pedal centered on a 12AU7 tube section. It can move from lighter distortion-like crunch into heavier saturation, then take a different direction with Harmonic mode, which introduces octave-like overtones before the tube drive. The pre-tube Contour control offers high-pass, flat, and low-pass curves for adjusting the fuzz texture around different pickups. Run it at 9V, or use 12V when you want the additional gain described for that operating voltage. True bypass leaves the unaffected guitar signal uncolored when the pedal is disengaged.
