Teaching Machines - Fuzzbillion

The Fuzzbillion is a distortion device for guitar, bass and synthesizers. The numerical switches provide the ablity to shape the distortion in ways far beyond conventional distortion devices. It has high-impedance guitar Inputs and Outputs switchable to Transformer-Balanced line-level Inputs and Outputs.

Effects ranging from subtle overdrive to screaming distortion can be achieved simply by changing the numbers.

The unit is completely analogue and uses multiple types of diodes and amplification devices from Germanium to Silicon and light-emitting diodes.

Changing the numbers changes the circuit itself, introducing different variations, some extreme, some subtle. The signal flow is from left to right so changes you make on the earlier numbers will affect what happens further down the signal path.

Total recall is possible, simply – write down the number (or photograph it) and you can return to your exact sound whenever you like.
