Missing Link Audio's The Statesboro Bluesman is an analog fuzz pedal designed to provide dynamic slide guitar tones and vintage fuzz sounds. according to RockBoard's PedalPedia's product description, it delivers a sticky and spongy feel with smooth dynamic response that interacts with your guitar's volume and tone controls, so cleaning up from the guitar or digging in with a slide changes the character of the fuzz rather than just its level1.
Controls
The pedal keeps its control set to two knobs, and the maker describes them as working together rather than as a conventional gain and volume pair1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drive | Adjusts the bite of the fuzz1 |
| Sweep | Adjusts frequency balance, from bass-rich to treble-rich1 |
Together, the Drive and Sweep controls let you adjust bite and frequency balance from bass-rich to treble-rich, which is where most of the pedal's tonal range sits1.
Power and bypass
The Statesboro Bluesman runs on 9V DC, center negative, and uses true bypass, which RockBoard's PedalPedia says preserves your signal when the pedal is off1. No current draw figure is given for the pedal.
