The Fuzzy Drive by EWS is a fuzz/distortion effect pedal designed to provide a wide variety of sounds with modern controllability and stability. It features a toggle switch that allows users to choose between Fuzzy Drive and Fat Fuzzy modes. The Fuzzy Drive mode provides a relatively tight tone design with high gain and deeper distortion, while the Fat Fuzz mode offers a thicker sound with a mid-range boost for even more gain. The pedal is sensitive to the dynamics of picking and the use of the guitar's volume control, allowing for varying levels of distortion based on the incoming signal.
The technical specifications for the Fuzzy Drive are as follows:
- Size (W/D/H): 65mm x 112mm x 50mm
- Weight: 240g
- True Bypass Switching
- Power Consumption: 9VDC/7mA
- Battery Type: 9VDC(006P) x 1
- AC Adapter (Optional): 9VDC, Negative Tips (Regulated recommended)
- Input Impedance: 1 M ohm
- Output Impedance: Less than 10k ohm

The pedal is designed with a circuit using a stable Operational Amplifier to overcome the variability in sound associated with vintage fuzz units. It allows users to dial in fuzz, overdrive, and everything in between simply by adjusting the Gain knob. The Fuzzy Drive also features true bypass switching, ensuring that the tone remains unaffected when the pedal is not engaged.
Additionally, the Fuzzy Drive is known for its versatility, offering a wide range of sound at the user's fingertips. It can provide powerful fuzz/distortion when the gain control is cranked up, and it can also be used as a fuzz/booster to enhance amp distortion when the gain is lowered and the volume is increased.
