The Druid Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from Center Street Electronics, a small builder whose pedals Pedal of the Day has covered several times. Its defining feature is how little there is to it: the site's 2014 review calls it "their one-knob Druid Fuzz," a fuzz with a single control on its face1.
What it does
As a fuzz, the Druid sits in the same family as other fuzz pedals: it clips the guitar's signal hard for a saturated, sustaining distortion character. What sets it apart from most fuzzes is the control layout. Where a typical fuzz gives you separate Fuzz and Volume knobs, the Druid runs on one knob, so dialing in a sound is a matter of turning a single control and playing1.
That single-knob approach puts the Druid Fuzz in a small group of minimalist fuzzes: where most fuzz pedals ask you to balance Fuzz and Volume controls, this one gives you a single knob to set, from Center Street Electronics. The maker describes it simply as their one-knob Druid Fuzz, a fuzz with nothing else between you and the circuit1.

Questions
How many controls does the Druid Fuzz have?
One. Pedal of the Day's 2014 review describes it as Center Street Electronics' one-knob Druid Fuzz, so the whole pedal is operated from a single control rather than the usual fuzz, volume and bias or tone layout.
Who makes the Druid Fuzz?
Center Street Electronics, the builder also behind pedals like the God Hates Fuzz, the Drone Station Fuzz and the Rasputin Fuzz, all of which were reviewed by Pedal of the Day in 2015.
