The Holy Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from Mammouth Machine1. The Holy Fuzz keeps things simple: four knobs on top, covering fuzz amount, high and low contour, and overall level. For a player, that means the core fuzz tone is set with one knob, and the other three shape how it sits in the mix.
Controls
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| F (Fuzz) | Adjust the amount of FUZZ |
| H (High) | Add clarity to high end |
| L (Low) | Boost low Contour |
| V (Volume) | Adjusts the overall volume level |
The F knob is the main drive control, setting how much fuzz the pedal produces. The H and L knobs work as tone shaping around it: H adds clarity to the high end, while L boosts the low contour. V sets the overall output level1.
Where it sits on a board
As a fuzz, the Holy Fuzz belongs to the same family as distortion and overdrive pedals, but with the more aggressive, compressed clipping character players expect from the type. With only four knobs and no other features documented, it is a straightforward pedal to place anywhere in a signal chain where a fuzz would normally go1.
