EarthQuaker Devices - Gary - Automatic Pulse Width Modulation Fuzz and Dynamic Natural Overdrive
Description courtesy of EarthQuaker Devices:
EarthQuaker Devices is proud to introduce you to your new best bud, Gary. This little big guy was dreamt up by the one and only Lee Kiernan from the crushing and most necessary band IDLES!
Gary started as a simple request to create a compact version of the now discontinued Gray Channel®, which was a mainstay on Lee’s board and a big part of his main drive tone. This was all fine and good, and sounded quite sick, but Gary was demanding that we look deeper and explore his dark side a little more, Gary after dark, Saturday night Gary. So, we sat him down and began the trek of figuring out old Gare-Bear once and for all. The result is a dynamic and destructive pulse width modulated fuzz paired with a natural-sounding op-amp overdrive.
Controls:
- Go: Gain control for the overdrive. Turn this up to increase the opamp gain to a thick and full distortion, or turn it down and turn up That’s It to use it as a clean boost.
- That’s It: Master volume for the overdrive side.
- Left Footswitch: Overdrive
- Yes!: Sets the sensitivity for the envelope that controls the duty cycle for the square wave fuzz. The envelope is highly dependent on the level of the incoming signal, which can be affected by any gain pedals in front of Gary, pickup strength, source instrument, etc.
- Oosh: Master volume for the fuzz side.
- Right Footswitch: Fuzz
