The Horror of the Super Fuzz!
Just a short demo of the more extreme settings of the Super Fuzz Pain Generator! What a freakshow. I mean, it will do some fuzz pedal stuff, but at the outer edges of its range it does...well, THIS! Pete Townshend used one of these every night for years...of course, he also frequently smashed his gear into tiny pieces, so perhaps I should have expected this...
Update: I solved the Super Fuzz mystery. The octave trimmer was the culprit. As you back down the octave trimmer, for some reason it increases the gain until the pedal is completely uncontrollable. I don't know why that wasn't more obvious to me sooner. With the octave trimmer up to about 3/4, the gain becomes much more manageable. Which, for some reason, is just the opposite of what I thought was going on. So I kept the trimmer low and it was making the pedal a nightmare.
