The Brown Dog Bass Fuzz Pedal enables you to produce rampaging waves of meat with your bass guitar while
still keeping your basslines tight and letting the character of your instrument's tone shine through. With two fuzz modes
(hard and soft), a mixing stage and a unique gating circuit the Brown Dog is a gated stompbox that gives you a wide range
of fuzzy and synthy bass tones.
Based on the highly acclaimed FZ002 gated bass fuzz, Chunk Systems Brown Dog adds soft
mode and features easier to use mixer controls. With true bypass and only the best quality analogue electronics, the Brown
Dog is perfect for all you clean sound freaks. Use the special envelope connector in conjunction with the Agent 00Funk Mark
II for synth bass that will really freak you out!
In addition to the high-quality metal bypass switch, the Brown Dog
has four knobs and a switch:
The dirty level controls the volume of the signal coming from the Brown Dog's fuzz circuit in the output mix. To make the
fuzz louder, turn it up. To make the fuzz quieter, turn it down.
The clean level controls the volume of the original
input signal in the output mix. The Brown Dog mixes the dirty signal coming from its fuzz circuit with the original input
signal so you can determine exactly how much fuzz you want and keep the tone of your instrument.
The gate control governs
how loud the input signal must be for a fuzz tone to be produced. Especially in hard mode, you can use this gating effect
to prevent hum from your pickups and the noise of your fingers on the strings from being amplified by the fuzz circuit. You
can also ensure that your notes start and end cleanly, so your bass line remains clear even though you have massive amounts
of fuzz applied.
The drive control alters the character of the fuzz produced by controlling how hard the fuzz circuit
is driven. Driving the fuzz harder squares off your sound more and makes it sound harsher. In hard mode with maximum drive,
you can get synth-like square wave tones. In soft mode, the drive control will alter the volume of the fuzz signal and you
may find you need to compensate with the dirty level control.
Use the mode switch to switch between soft and hard
fuzz, which have different characters. The hard fuzz produces very square-edged acidic tones. Use it for really hardcore metal
sounds or turn up the gate for some great synth tones. The soft mode produces a classic warm bass fuzz.
