Tru-Fi Super Fuzz Version 2
Tru Fi · pedal
The Tru-Fi Super Fuzz Version 2 is a hand-built USA clone of the Univox Super Fuzz, using two germanium diodes for octave fuzz generation and square-wave clipping, with full-wave rectification producing both upper and lower octave harmonics plus natural compression and a mild ring-modulator-like effect. Version 2 adds a switchable octave mode, letting players choose between the classic Super Fuzz octave-and-ring-modulation tinge or flip to a tighter, nastier fuzz voicing with no octave artifacts. As with the rest of the Tru-Fi Super Fuzz line, it solves practical vintage-unit issues like a lack of master volume and a noisy underlying circuit. Reviewers call it one of the most musical takes on the Super Fuzz circuit available, with substantial grit and girth on tap. Suited to players wanting the distinctive vintage Univox octave-fuzz sound with the option to switch to a more conventional tight fuzz voicing.
