Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction Fuzz

The N-Fuzz is another Black Cat legacy product first created in limited quantity from 2001 to 2003 and was offered only within the Asian market. The circuit was built on a customized Fuzz Face, with a toggle switch for low and high output. Similar to the original, the new N-Fuzz utilizes N-Channel (NPN) transistors. Black Cat replaced the toggle switch of the original N-Fuzz with a variable bias control pot to make the new version more versatile.

The TightFuzz Pro is built from Amptweaker’s famous TightFuzz distortion pedal. Similar to the standard-sized variant, it boasts several tonal options thanks to the Silicon/Germanium switch, 60’s/70’s tone switch, and Smooth Edge switch. The TightFuzz Pro introduces an auto-bias feature built into the Fuzz control that lets the knob control the nastiest and cleanest distortions using a single control. Unlike most “reissue” fuzz boxes, the Tight control’s addition allows the input of the fuzz circuit to be buffered from your guitar in a compensated fashion.

The Wee Buzz is a more compact and affordable variant of the Bee Buzz and is based on the original Roland Bee Baa as well. The Wee Buzz is designed for players who want a little fuzz minus all the fancy features. It employs the similar circuity used by its big brother Buzz but comes in a more pedalboard-friendly package. Closely resembling other Black Cat pedals, the Wee Buzz carries only the basic features and is pure fuzz. It does not include a control to dial in the fuzz as it is handcrafted to be maxed out always.
