The Skreddy Dragon Fuzz is a silicon Fuzz Face-style fuzz pedal from Skreddy Pedals, with one addition that sets it apart from the standard design: an OSC switch that throws the circuit into oscillation. Skreddy's Marc describes it plainly as a "Silicon Fuzz Face with over-the-top OSC switch"1.
What the OSC switch does
The OSC switch engages a feedback feature added to the fuzz circuit. Because the Dragon is already a high-gain fuzz, Skreddy explains what happens when you flip it in1:
"This is already a high-gain fuzz, so the feedback typically gives you a drone oscillation that you can control to some extent by your playing and by adjusting the guitar volume."
In practice, that means the oscillation is not a fixed effect: how it behaves depends on how hard you play and where your guitar's volume knob sits, so it can be ridden like an instrument control rather than simply switched on and off1.
Circuit and design
The Dragon is built on "The BC109 fuzz circuit with an added feedback feature," in Skreddy's words1. The BC109 is the silicon transistor associated with the later Fuzz Face designs, and Skreddy makes other pedals in this family, including the Skreddy BC109 Fuzz. The Dragon's distinguishing feature is that feedback path, controlled by the OSC switch, which turns the high-gain fuzz into something that can drone and oscillate under your control1.
Ordering, price and availability
Skreddy Pedals builds everything to order. The maker's stated wait time is "approximately 2 weeks to 1 month," and the pedal's stock status is listed as preorder with a delivery lead time of about 2 weeks1.
The Dragon Fuzz is made to order, not stocked: Skreddy lists a wait time of approximately 2 weeks to 1 month1.
The price is listed at $358 plus shipping as of 25 October 20261. Skreddy's product listing also shows a sale price of $322.20 against the $358 list price2.
Questions
What does the OSC switch do on the Skreddy Dragon Fuzz?
The OSC switch adds a feedback feature to the fuzz circuit. Skreddy describes it as over the top: because the Dragon is already a high-gain fuzz, switching the oscillation in typically produces a drone that you can shape to some extent with your playing and by adjusting the guitar's volume control.
Is the Skreddy Dragon Fuzz based on a Fuzz Face?
Yes. Skreddy describes the Dragon Fuzz as a silicon Fuzz Face with an over-the-top OSC switch. The circuit is built on the BC109 fuzz topology, which is the classic silicon Fuzz Face arrangement, with the added feedback feature that the OSC switch controls.
Is the Skreddy Dragon Fuzz made to order?
Yes. Skreddy Pedals builds everything to order, and the stated wait time is approximately two weeks to one month. The pedal's stock status is listed as preorder, with a delivery lead time of about two weeks.
What transistors does the Dragon Fuzz circuit use?
The Dragon Fuzz is built on the BC109 fuzz circuit, the silicon transistor type associated with the Fuzz Face design, with an added feedback feature. Skreddy does not list any other transistor types for this pedal.
