Edgy, Aggressive Silicon Fuzz
The Skreddy Pedals™ Lunar Module was designed for "that"
certain silicon fuzz tone guitar solo I fell in love with on a best-selling
1973 album. I intentionally voiced this thing aggressively so it will
cut through any mix. Very satisfying and addictive "vintage" fuzz tone.
Unlike typical silicon fuzzes, which can sound thin and raspy, the Lunar
Module has a dark, brooding character.
Classic late 60's/early 70's fuzz tones with extra control,
versatility, and added noise reduction. Using 3 transistors instead of 2 and
a pre-distortion tone control, the Lunar Module yields many uses and a multitude
of tones. |

Power
9v battery is included. To prevent the battery
from draining while the pedal is not in use, remember to un-plug the input
cable from the pedal’s input jack.
You may also supply external power through an AC
adapter. All Skreddy Pedals accept the industry-standard 9v DC plug
(5.5mm barrel x 2.1mm center coax), with the center being negative and the
barrel being positive. Please use a quality, regulated, filtered power
supply. The battery is disconnected from the circuit when an adapter
is plugged into the DC jack.
If you wish to remove the battery from your Skreddy
Pedal to use exclusively AC-adapter power, please wrap the battery-clip terminals
with electrical tape to prevent them from making contact with the metal inside
of the pedal.
Reviews
MrPoopsicle:
"Dave and I
were testing the Lunar Module together last night and he played shit in just
about every style imaginable where dirt would fit and it all sounded great.
Non-floyd shit from White Stripes to latin tripped out salsa shit and some Sonic
Youth scrambled noise for good measure. After about 15 minutes of rocking
the fuck out I asked him jokingly if he liked the sound and he was floored when
I told him we had not swtiched dirt pedals for any of it.
"...It's Marc's take on silicon fuzz.
It just so happens to be the silicon fuzz IMO.
If that's what your looking for you won't be disappointed. ;)"
Travis:
"Tried the Lunar
Module as soon as I got it out of the box. I love love love this pedal. I have
five other fuzz boxes, but this one not only has it's own niche, I think it
may actually be kind of the core of my collection now. I'm looking forward to
playing it a lot more this weekend. Thanks. I think there's a couple of old
pedals I can cull from the collection now.
I am impressed by how with this box, it is not a matter of "dialing in a good
tone." Rather, every setting on this box sounds good, musical, and useful for
something."
Jeff:
"I just wanted to let you know that I received the pedal today and have had a
chance to try it out this evenening for a while. All I can say is .... "WOW"!
I have no idea what sort of magic that you managed to squeeze into that little
box, but that has to be the best damn fuzz/distortion I have ever used for the
DSotM sound. You must have put a little extra on it, too because I managed to
quickly dial in a few of the old Zep songs also.
You cannot find a happier, more satisfied customer!
Thanks,"

Controls: |
| Volume |
This sets the output volume.
You can adjust your Skreddy Pedal to roughly the same volume as your bypass
signal (aka “unity gain”) or you can boost your signal for a fatter tone. |
| Fuzz |
takes you from gritty,
touch-sensitive overdrive all the way to aggressive, saturated, slightly
sick fuzz. Warning: it can get noisy at high settings. |
| Sharpness |
dials in the amount of bass going
into the fuzz section, for everything from tight overdrive to
full-voiced distortion to thick, nasty fuzz. Warning: it can get
noisy at low settings. |
| Presence |
trimpot
accessible via a hole in the left side of the pedal. It's set somewhere
around 75% or so by me, and you can get more brilliance and “hair” or make
it darker and smoother, to suit your amp and taste. |
| Range |
trimpot accessible
via a hole in the right side of the pedal. It sets the gain of the input
transistor. Turned all the way up, the Lunar Module will be fuzzier
and more aggressive, but also noisier. Turned lower, there will be a
darker, tamer response. I tend to like it about 20% backed off from
max. |
