INTRODUCTION
The Vulcan Octave Fuzz is a recreation of the fOXX Tone Machine, first released in 1971 and
discontinued in 1978. The Tone Machine is a thick fuzz that uses a phase splitter and complementary
rectifier to create an octave overtone.
The Tone Machine has a lot in common with the Fender Blender, but with a more pronounced octave and
smoother tone, as well as the ability to disable the octave by turning off half of the phase splitter.
The Vulcan is faithful to the original, but with two added modifications. First, the octave switch
(normally just "on" or "off" in the original) now has a 3rd setting allowing you to bypass the series diode
in non-octave mode. See build notes for more details on this.
The second modification is to the tone control. The tone control of the original is somewhat similar to
the Big Muff, but many people find it's difficult to get good sounds from the treble side of the rotation.
By increasing the value of the treble-side tone capacitor, it improves the usability. A switch has been
added to let you choose between two different capacitors in addition to the original.
The build notes for the Vulcan are pretty extensive, so make sure to read pages 5 and 6 before building.
USAGE
The Vulcan has the following controls:
• Sustain is the overall distortion or fuzz level of the effect.
• Tone pans between a low-pass and high-pass filter similar to a Big Muff tone control.
• Volume controls the overall output of the effect.
• Octave (toggle switch) selects between octave, no octave (original) and no octave (modified).
• Midrange (toggle switch) selects between two tone control capacitors that impact the midrange
frequencies, as well as allowing you to select just the stock capacitor.
