The CRYSTAL MACHINE is a totally original fuzz design with three rare NOS silicon transistors and two germanium diodes. The crystal machine can be considered an octave up fuzz, with the function of self-silencing or more feedback, but with the CM you can get from great classic germanium tones to the blistering punk rock riffs or solos created by the Stooges, MC5 or Hendrix.The perfect description could be that inside this pedal you have Wayne Kramer having a sound battle with Jimi Hendrix.
The CRYSTALM ACHINE is an octofuzz generated with 3 NOS Silicon transistors and a post-amplifier transistor to generate a variety of frequencies in the tone .
Besides all that, the Crystal Machine has it s own oscilation that allow it to generate a feedback tone and create its own sound.
what does it all mean? It means that you have in your hands a fuzz/distortion/octave/oscilator with an extreme and totaly manipulable distortion and frequency range. This pedal is perfect for solos and for extreme distortion of any sound in general.
LEVEL:Controls total output volume
FREQUENCY:is a sweep tone control, it adjusts various tone points by focusing frequencies in diferent EQ spectrums, focusing from huge basses to piercing highs
W A R M :adjusts preamp gain
VOLTAGE: Adjusts the working voltage of the circuit, at maximum voltage higher distortion and volume,
at lower voltage we simulate a batery about to die.
DEPTH: Adjusts the amount of harmonic octave present in our signal, adding gain and sustain.
OSCILLATE: generates oscilation within the circuit, depending on the amount of WARM and VOLTAGE we have present. if the WARM and VOLTAGE controls are at maximum, we will get direct feedback or squealing behind our guitar signal. the FREQUENCY control alows us to change the PITCH of that feedback.
This pedal operates on a 9v batery or 9v negative tip/positive ring 2.1 power. to save batery life disconnect input when not in use, to prevent oscilations and parasite noises avoid daisy chain power adaptors
