Connecting the Fuzz to your rig
The FY-2 Fuzz has two 1/4 inch jacks on the left side,
labeled "In" and "Out". The "In" jack should be
connected to the signal chain that ends at your guitar,
while the "Out" jack should be connected to the signal
chain that ends at your amp. If you have no other
effects pedals in your chain, then plug your guitar into
the "In" jack, and your amp into the "Out" jack.
The FY-2 Fuzz was designed to operate with the signal levels coming from a
guitar. It may not perform well when connected to the effects loop on your
amplifier.
There is much debate about the proper order to connect effects pedals, but the
conventional wisdom is generally:
• Gain type pedals first. This includes boosters, distortion, fuzz (like the FY-2
Fuzz), overdrive, etc. To keep noise to a minimum, you should connect the
lowest noise pedals first, followed by the noisier pedals.
• Time based pedals last. This include chorus, echo, delay, reverb, etc.
The above recommendations are not engraved in stone. Feel free to
experiment with your pedal arrangement to get the tone you want.
Using the controls
The FY-2 Fuzz has three user-accessible controls
(and a fourth "hidden" control we'll talk about in a
moment...). These are:
• Footswitch - This control is used to turn the fuzz effect on or off. The LED
will be lit when the fuzz effect is turned on.
• VOL - This knob controls the output level of the pedal when the effect is
turned on. You can adjust this knob to balance the "effect on" volume level
with the "effect off" volume level.
• FUZZ - This knob blends a mixture of the signals from the first and second
fuzz stages, changing both the amount of distortion, as well as the timbre of
the sound. Unlike most fuzz pedals, this control doesn't just vary the amount
of "fuzz", but actually varies the tone, as well. Also, because of the coupling
used, this control affects higher notes more than lower notes. Be prepared
to experiment with this control to find your preferred tone.
