Flare

Fuzz Factory

Overview

Controls & Usage

• Drive controls the amount of fuzz, equivalent to an overdrive's gain control. This also turns into

something of a feedback pitch control when the Stability is reduced.

• Level is the output level of the effect.

• Comp changes the attack. It is heavily affected by the Stability control.

• Stability reduces the +9V supply to change the bias of the whole circuit, changing the overall character

of all of the knobs and throwing it into oscillation.

• Gate turns off the transistor when the signal is below the threshold. Useful for creating glitchy sounds.

• Soft reduces the gain of the first boost stage, which rounds out the fuzz a bit and gives it more of an

overdrive character.

• Tone is a classic SWTC (Stupidly Wonderful Tone Control) appended to the end of the circuit to allow the

treble content to be tamed a bit.

• Body is an input capacitor blend that fades between a 100n and 10uF capacitor. This increases the bass

and thickens up the effect.

Modifications

The three additional knobs can all be bypassed if you want to just build a classic Fuzz Factory.

• Body can be left off without using any jumpers; just include C2 but not C8.

• Soft can be omitted by using a 220k resistor for R7 and jumpering pads 2 and 3 which are marked

"BYPASS" on the back side of the PCB.

• Tone can be bypassed by running a jumper between pads 1 and 3 marked "BYPASS" on the back.

Leave off C6.

FUZZ FACTORY / FLARE FUZZ

The Flare is a clone of the ZVEX Fuzz Factory, a really interesting

little box that lets you create everything from a really thick but

musical fuzz to some messed-up oscillations. The Fuzz Factory

is essentially a classic Fuzz Face with a LPB-1 booster in front of

it, but with the twist that it uses PNP transistors running on +9V

rather than -9V like a standard Fuzz Face.

This is not a user-friendly pedal by any means—the knobs are

very interactive, and there are a lot of settings that don't work, but

if you start with some default knob settings you can get a good

feel for what it's capable of.

The Fuzz Factory is notable for being custom-built directly into

the guitars of Matthew Bellamy of Muse. He uses it for his main

drive tone as well as for feedback & oscillation purposes.
