Dirty Haggard Audio Torsion Fuzz Pedal
Introducing the Torsion Fuzz - a completely original design that boasts 3 gain stages, a noise gate, and optimized tone controls. This monstrous general-purpose fuzz has enough tonal options to cut through a dense mix in any style of rock or metal that you happen to play. It was built with three main goals in mind: to sound terribly badass, to provide minimal noise/hum/buzz, and to last for decades. The Torsion Fuzz is a secret weapon that can be used on stage or in the studio.
Dirty Haggard Torsion Review
The Torsion Fuzz features a linear-taper potentiometer that smoothly ramps up from no gating to optimal gating, to overly-gated/sputtery awesomeness. This knob ensures that any hum and buzz are eliminated. For those who prefer to leave the gate disengaged, there is no need to worry. The Torsion Fuzz has an aggressive low-pass filter at the power-supply input that virtually eliminates the 120Hz ripple frequency caused by old or cheap DC adapters. Have you ever experienced a radio station playing through your amp or another piece of audio gear? It can be quite annoying, but the Torsion Fuzz has a 2-stage RF rejection filter at the input to ruthlessly eliminate any and all radio frequencies trying to mix down into your signal.
Most fuzz pedals have a single, restrictive tone knob that only allows you to roll-off some of the highs or choose between more bass/more treble, without allowing you to retain your midrange frequencies. The tone circuitry in the Torsion Fuzz gives you the classic mid-scooped tones you love, but it also allows you to flatten or boost the mids, so you don't get lost in the mix! With the midrange set to 9 o'clock or above, the TILT control allows you to attenuate just the highs without giving you an unusably dark tone, or to just attenuate the lows while still sounding full. Get all the tones, not just a fraction of them!
When you buy a fuzz pedal, you want it to be a fuzz, not an overdrive. For this reason, the GAIN knob on the Torsion Fuzz is designed to function more as a 'fine-tune' than a coarse adjustment. Start at 100%, and dial back to your desired level. It's super fuzzy across its whole range, but you can tame it down if you must. This knob also functions interactively with the GATE knob to give you a wide range of sputtery/voltage-starved/velcro-type tones.
The Torsion Fuzz is durable, with a printed circuit board built to last. It also contains a power-hungry IC, which means that a battery clip is not included. A standard center-negative 9V (and ONLY 9V) power-supply is required to power this beast.
