The First Herald Fuzz

It features a separate boost circuit that can be placed before or after the fuzz, providing control over tone via an order reverse switch and a scoop knob. The order reverse switch allows users to determine the prominence of the fuzz effect, the signal impact on the amp, and the desired gain. The scoop knob enables the amplification or elimination of mid-tones in the signal, adding versatility to the options. Additionally, the pedal includes a clip toggle switch for engaging Silicon or LED/Mosfet clipping, with the former producing a darker and less aggressive sound than the latter.

The controls on the pedal include Volume, Tone, Scoop, Sustain, Clip (Mosfet + LED / Diode Lift / Silicon Diodes), and Boost Level. The extended range Muff- style fuzz, based on the '73 Ram's Head variant, offers six controls compared to the classic Big Muff's three knobs for Volume, Tone, and Sustain. The additional Mids Scoop knob provides a full-frequency output when dialed down and a traditional Muff scooped mids when dialed up. The central Clipping Options Toggle offers a 3-way playback action, and the Boost level control, in conjunction with the second Boost Footswitch, allows users to ramp up the level and aggression.

The pedal comes in Royal Blue and Charcoal colorways and is designed in a compact enclosure, making it pedalboard-friendly. It is noted for its high- quality build and thoughtful design, providing users with the ability to fine- tune the output to their preferences.
