Nomad Octave Fuzz

Before releasing the Nomad into the world I built a whole bunch of octave up fuzzes including the Univox Super Fuzz, Ibanez Standard Fuzz, Foxx Tone Machine and Ampeg Scrambler to see which one worked best on bass. As much as I love the Beastie Boys Superfuzz bass tones, I found the Tone Machine worked best for me, while still having the classic 70s octave up fuzz vibe. My main complaint with the original circuit was that it lost a little low end and the scooped mids meant it got lost in the mix too easily. I thought about modding the original tone control but decided to try replace it with the modified Matamp style tone stack from the Sledgehammer. This worked amazingly well adding plenty of chunky midrange so I ran with it. The MK3 now has a parallel clean boosf with a low pass filter (aka high cut) to blend in clean low end if and when it's needed. At minimum all clean is cut so you can have just the right amount of clean as you roll up the clean volume. If your after classic 70’s psych octave fuzz buzz like Flower Travelin Band - Satori then this is the pedal for you.
