Electronic Audio Experiments 0xEAE Fuzz

The 0xEAE Fuzz is EAE latest collaboration with the design collective Obstructures and is the most dangerous gain device in our lineup to date.

The imposing neo-brutalist geometry houses the auditory equivalent of an angle grinder. There is no subtlety or transparency to be found here.

This belligerent and deceptively versatile op amp fuzz circuit is capable of over +80dB of gain with a massive volume output. The Weight control adjusts a lightly resonant pre-gain high pass filter at the input, for tones ranging from tight, ripped-speaker grind to bass-rich aluminum slag.

The Texture control blends in a full-wave rectified analog signal, producing an octave up that gets fed into the fuzz input. At higher settings it creates piercing intermodulation products and sub-bass artifacts with a synthesizer-like attack.

Please note: each enclosure faceplate is individually finished by hand using an acid etch process. Some variation is normal!
