Jet Fuzz – Based on* the Roland

Jet Phaser

Yeah, yeah. We know. The phasers belong in our MM4 Modulation Modeler – but with this little fella, we just couldn’t resist. It’s

the AP-7 Jet Phaser. A Roland

catalog from the ’70s says it best: “...the Jet Phaser/AP-7 is a phase shifter producing dynamic

jet sounds for rock guitar.” One listen to the fuzzy swoosh of this model is all it takes to remind you of Ernie Isley’s Who’s That

Lady, and Uli Roth’s work with the Scorpions. Take a close look at the small text labeling the BASS and TREBLE knobs of

your DM4. These knobs have special functions for use with this model: BASS controls feedback and TREBLE sets the rate of

the phaser. The trusty MID knob gives you tone control over the fuzz part of the effect. The noise gate function does not work

with Jett Fuzz.

Fuzz Pi – Based on* the Electro-Harmonix

Big Muff

Not to be outdone by the Brits, the colonies came up with their own twist on the fuzz rage. Mike Mathews had been cooking up

all sorts of nifty effects when their attention turned to the distortion/fuzz pedal. Their most popular offering was the Big Muff

Pi, known more for its sweet sustain than for its buzz. Electro-Harmonix

was famous for their use of surplus parts, and the results

of this practice were ever-changing circuit designs and parts specs. As you can see in the picture of our collection, the Big Muff

had several looks, but the sweetheart of the bunch is the one in the middle, known as the “triangle knob pattern” model. MID

functions like the original tone control. Set BASS and TREBLE to 12 o’clock for the classic sound.

Jumbo Fuzz – Based on* the Vox

Tone Bender

Have you noticed how the British music scene of the ’60s not only gave us great bands, but also inspired a bunch of cool gear,

too? Thus is the case with Tone Bender. To measure it’s success, all you had to do was track down Jimmy Page. Once you found

him, if you looked carefully you’d ﬁnd a Tone Bender close-by. The classic Tone Bender signature can be heard all over the

ﬁrst two Led Zeppelin records, and is especially apparent on “Communication Breakdown.” Set BASS, MID, TREBLE to 12

o’clock for the classic sound.

Facial Fuzz – Based on* the Arbiter

Fuzz Face

Sometime in late 1966, this infamous circular stompbox hit the London music scene. Designed and built by Arbiter Music, the

Fuzz Face would soon begin its famous association with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Like all stompboxes from the early era, the

Fuzz Face would see many design changes, as well as re-issues. Our model is based on the germanium-powered era as pictured

here: An original, very early “gray with black screening” Arbiter Fuzz Face. This legend is now yours, thanks to the DM4’s faith-

ful recreation of its fuzz and glory. Set BASS, MID, TREBLE to 12 o’clock for the classic sound.
