From JPTR FX:

While noisy, buzzy and sizzling Fuzz and Distortion sounds and general sonic heresy are indeed our medium, our reputation has felt somewhat unjustified and incomplete thus far. As such, it was our duty to release the planetary disorder unit that is the JPTR FX ADD VIOLENCE.

Named after one of our favourite EPs, the ADD VIOLENCE is a forceful, recklessly loud and uncompromising Super Fuzz. It is our take on the Univox classic, but on a jet rocket in a tank – thanks to its powerful transistors (the heaviest hitters we could find) and hand selected Russian NOS germanium diodes from the 70s (tirelessly tracked down on eBay for each unit) and auxiliary controls.

Disabling the diode switch results in a wholly more aggressive gated fuzz, with a raw, compressed and mid focused character. The diodes also provide an increase in volume, making the fuzz feel nearly twice as big. Engaging the diodes adds singing sustain and a very organic, dynamic breakup.

The ADD VIOLENCE also comes equipped with volume, gain and tone controls. The latter produces a very wide sweep – from complete mid scoop to full mid hump.

Three additional trim pots located within the enclosure provide further auxiliary controls: an upper octave control, transforming the Add Violence into an octafuzz, and a boost control of up to 16db – loud enough to blow out your continental neighbors eardrums. Lastly, a clean blend to maintain and balance clarity, texture and retain the native character of that beyond of just guitars.

This very versatile three in one fuzz tornado also comes in a remarkably pedalboard friendly enclosure. Its practical control parameters allow it to especially shine with low end pronounced instruments, such drum machines, synths and bass guitars.

The ADD VIOLENCE is a very assertive fuzz that will outperform any of its contemporaries that are aimed at guitar players alone. It will also harmonize well with about anything and everything you fancy plugging into it. As always: we would never judge.

This sick fuzz is lightly used and we'll ship it to ya safely and swiftly in its original box! Give us a shout at the shop with any questions you may have.
