Musontek Fur Fur Fuzz

The Fur Fur Fuzz is an analog fuzz pedal from Musontek, a maker whose range, as RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it, "offers a range of fuzz pedals"¹. It sits in the fuzz family: a circuit that clips your signal hard for a thick, sustaining distortion character, as distinct from the smoother clipping of overdrive or distortion pedals.

Power and setup

The pedal runs on 9V DC with a center-negative plug, the standard for pedalboard power supplies, and draws 50mA¹. That draw is modest, but it is worth noting for anyone powering a board from a daisy chain: a fuzz that pulls 50mA is more than some low-draw pedals, so a supply with enough headroom per output is the safer home for it. Musontek's own product page for the pedal, which carries the manual in English, is at musontek.com/product/fuzz-furfur¹.

A related fuzz: the Orange Amps Fur Coat

The Fur Fur Fuzz shares its name territory with another fuzz players often come across: the Orange Amps Fur Coat, an octave fuzz that Pedal of the Day reviewed in January 2018. Of that pedal's Fuzz control, the reviewer wrote²:

The Fur Fur Fuzz runs on 9V DC center negative and draws 50mA¹.

That review describes the Fur Coat, not the Musontek pedal, but it gives a sense of what a fuzz control on a pedal of this type is asked to do: set the dirt level while covering a range of fuzz tones with plenty of sustain.
