The Part Garden is a dual fuzz pedal made by Mask Audio Electronics together with the pedal YouTuber collector//emitter, who designed it with the maker. It is essentially two fuzz circuits in one enclosure, with both tuned to bring out the best of the other, and it can work as a smooth overdrive, a wild fuzz, or anything in between1. Mask Audio describes the first fuzz as fairly warm and the second as harmonically rich, though the character changes as the controls are adjusted, and the pedal is very dynamic across the range of the guitar's volume control1.
As of December 10, 2025, the Part Garden is discontinued. All remaining stock is on clearance, and once it is gone, that is it1.
Two fuzz circuits stacked in one pedal
Part Garden grew from the idea of stacking fuzz pedals, the practice of running one fuzz into another to build up gain and texture. Rather than asking a player to wire two pedals together, Mask Audio and collector//emitter put both circuits in one box and tuned them to complement each other1. The pedal was the first collaboration between collector//emitter and Mask Audio; the pair later revisited one of their earliest designs to create the Cascader, their second collaborative pedal2.
The two circuits respond to each other as well as to the controls. Mask Audio describes the first fuzz as fairly warm and the second as harmonically rich, with the balance shifting as the gain controls are adjusted1. Because the signal shape is easy to adjust with the gain controls, there is no tone control on the pedal at all1.
The controls: I, II, III, Texture and YUH
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| I | How much signal is entering Part Garden; sets the general gain level1 |
| II | The gain between the two circuits; subtly attenuates bass frequencies as the gain is turned down1 |
| III | Master volume, turn right for more1 |
| Texture | Shapes the fuzz character; the YUH switch changes its range1 |
| YUH | Up position gives the optimal range for adjustment of Texture; down position allows finer tuning of more extreme sounds1 |
The II control is where the two circuits meet, and it doubles as a low-end shaper: turning it down trims bass frequencies, which is part of why the pedal gets by without a tone knob1.
Power and connections
The Part Garden runs on a standard Boss style power supply: 9V DC with a 2.1mm center negative plug1. The jacks are top-mounted, so patch cables can run over the top of the pedal rather than out the sides1.
The Germanium Part Garden
Mask Audio also made a germanium variant, the Germanium Part Garden. It keeps the same control layout, with I setting the general gain level, II setting the gain between the two circuits and trimming bass as it turns down, and III as the master volume3. The maker calls it the nastiest Part Garden ever made, with even more texture than the all-silicon version3. Its enclosures are fabricated by F5 Metalworks rather than screen printed, and it uses the same 9V DC, 2.1mm center negative power and top-mounted jacks3.

Questions
Is the Mask Audio Part Garden discontinued?
Yes. Mask Audio Electronics announced on December 10, 2025 that the Part Garden is discontinued, with all remaining stock on clearance. Once that stock is gone, the pedal will not be made again. The Germanium Part Garden, a related variant, is listed separately on the maker's site.
Does the Part Garden have a tone control?
No. Mask Audio Electronics says there is no tone control on the Part Garden because it is easy to adjust the shape of the signal with the gain controls instead. The II control in particular subtly attenuates bass frequencies as it is turned down, which shapes the low end without a dedicated tone knob.
What power supply does the Part Garden use?
The Part Garden uses a standard Boss style power supply: 9V DC with a 2.1mm center negative connector. It also has top-mounted jacks, which helps it fit on crowded pedalboards.
What does the Texture knob do on the Part Garden?
The Texture control changes the character of the fuzz, and the YUH switch changes its range. In the up position, YUH gives the optimal range for adjustment of the Texture control; in the down position it allows finer tuning of more extreme sounds.
Who made the artwork on the Part Garden enclosure?
The Part Garden enclosures are hand screen printed by Pinebox Customs, with art by Taylor C Adams. The Germanium Part Garden variant uses enclosures fabricated by F5 Metalworks instead.
