Crazy Horse Clone

This is a really interesting pedal. It's actually two complete circuits in one pedal. Designed to yield Neil Young-style sounds, but it can cover quite a bit of ground.

 

OK, so this is how you set it up. It's not like most pedals, so a short tutorial is probably in order. There are two circuits here; a Tube Screamer-style overdrive and a silicon fuzz pedal. The way I set this up is by turning the fuzz ("Si") all the way down first. Now, you have an overdrive pedal. Turn it up until you get about the level of dirt you're looking for. Now, there's a voltage sag adjustment, which has a lightning bolt marking it. This power-dimming control only influences the overdrive. So back down the power until the sag is where you like it. There's a point where the overdrive will start to sputter and spit, which is the, "Neil Threshold," but you can get a lot of different kinds of tones by starving the overdrive. Now that you've got the overdrive set up, crank up the fuzz control until you've got as much fuzz as you want to hear. That's it! That's all there is to it!
