Axis Fuzz

From the vendor

Jimi used one on the title track of Axis Bold As Love. What else do you need to know?

Oh go on then. The Fuzz Face's more sophisticated big brother. Richer, fuller fuzz with more bottom end and even more responsive to playing dynamics and guitar volume.

This baby can cut through a band for biting solos, but doesn't get too messy when used on chords. Perfect all-rounder really.

Uses all-silicon transistors so is much more stable and predictable than its sibling. It'll sound the same in the heat of that sweaty venue as it does in your chilly rehearsal shed.

Board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.
