At Volume & Power we promise never to simply copy an old design and sell it as new. If we do use a classic circuit as a base our aim is not to recreate the original tone with NOS parts, but instead to build on the designs and refine it such that it meets the needs of modern musicians.

For our line of two knob fuzz units we use the architecture of classic 60s fuzz circuits and apply modern components and a variety of modifications to broaden the range of tones available to the user.

Our velcro fuzz is based at its core on the classic Orpheum circuit with a pair of modern silicon metal can BC109B transistors instead of difficult to find vintage BJTs. Some of the original values were tweaked and high frequency negative feedback networks were employed to eradicate unwanted noise. The result is a bright, harsh sounding velcro style fuzz that retains plenty of low end and responds well to the instrument’s volume control.
