Mashed Voltaire

What happens when you take one of the most popular "muff" variants, shrink it but add a bunch of features? 

Mashed Voltaire (we will let you figure out why its called that...) expands upon a true classic, creating a device that can do the vintage thing beautifully, with low noise floor and super smooth distortion/sustain and yet, it can do a load more too:

• Four silicon planar epitaxial high gain BC549c transistors, just like the best (and most expensive) boutique alternatives 
• Saturation control, allowing fine tuning of the fuzz character 
• Footswitch activated "Starve" circuit, which brings into play a variable voltage parameter capable of adapting the tone in a variety of fun ways 
  • Gated, spitting, broken speaker sounds
  • Overdriven dying amp sounds
  • Upper octave artefacts (especially above the 12th fret on the neck pickup) 
• Modified circuitry that retains clarity at lower fuzz settings, opening up a variety of tones not normally considered usable with standard 'muffs, making this much less of a one trick pony - but it can still do that trick of course! 
• Carefully selected Volume and Fuzz control tapers offering greater control and granularity
• Beautiful matte violet / neon yellow UV print powdercoated case, with top mount standard 9v DC and in/outs for easy pedalboard integration
• Soldered, wired and assembled completely by hand in Manchester, UK

Note: First batch is extremely limited. Once stock is exhausted, orders will switch to "pre-order" with a lead time of approximately 4-8 weeks. Thankyou!
