Dirty Haggard Audio - Arachnid Octave Fuzz Pedal

Arachnid

The Arachnid is an octave fuzz based on the Fender Blender. I restructured the tone circuitry for optimal performance (and got rid of the tone knob, since most of the originals' sweep is extremely dark), reworked the input frequency-response so it doesn't attenuate the lows of the clean bypass (shout out to bass players), and added a couple extra little tricks and bits (like the NOS germanium diode in the clipping section alongside the familiar 4148 for a harmonically rich asymmetrical distortion).

Very rich, highly usable fuzz tones at lower gain settings, out of control/distorted-as-all-living-piss at higher gain settings.

As per usual, this pedal is SUPER quiet when not playing, but fully raging when you are.
