The Fish Circuits LUNATIQUE is a gated fuzz with a mind of its own. It will give you a juiced-up classic fuzz tone, but if youre in the mood for a healthy dose of madness, it will happily do that too.
Chaos lets you dial in the character of the pedal. At its highest setting, chords dont mean anything. The ring-moded, octave-up-ed, mid-heavy mess will take over and there is really no point in trying to fight it. Stand up and take it. However, dialing the Chaos control back a bit opens up the possibilities. Peace and balance gets rolled back in, trouble slowly gets rolled out, and at its minimum setting, itll be our take on a timeless fuzz circuit.
Body controls the amount of bass frequencies that run through the circuit. Its lower setting lets everything through and will give a rich full tone while the top position rolls off some low-end, tightening everything up. Ideal for a busier mix, complex playing, or for stacking with your favourite overdrive.
Fuzz is the gain control. The bottom position will allow for a more tame and domesticated tone overall, depending on what you do with the Chaos control of course. At the top position, well, theres no easy way to say this, but get ready to fight. Depending on your guitar/amp, itll start squealing at you, suddenly it may no longer be a gated fuzz, feedback could become part of your everyday life, and your neighbours might leave a passive-aggressive note on your front door. Use at your own risk.
Level is the main volume control, with enough output to get your amp cookin. (figuratively, of course). Really, its a lot of volume, youve been warned.
The Lunatique runs on just about any 9V DC, negative tip, 2.1mm barrel power supply. Cheap power supplies tend to induce noise.
