From the vendor
The ZVEX Woolly Mammoth, a bass fuzz designed by Chuck Zwicky that also works on guitar and draws under half a milliamp. The post describes it as the standard Fuzz Face layout with mods: large coupling caps that pass deep bass, a Big Muff style tilt EQ at the output and a Pinch control that sets the feedback between the two silicon gain stages, changing the pulse width and adding a gating effect.
