Ibanez Standard Fuzz
The Ibanez Standard Fuzz is a fuzz pedal that produces a heavily saturated, distorted tone by clipping the guitar signal through its transistor-based circuit. Its primary control is a single Fuzz knob, which adjusts the amount of gain and saturation applied to the input signal. Turning the knob clockwise increases the fuzz intensity, resulting in a thicker, more compressed sound with sustained notes and a gated, sputtering character at extreme settings. The pedal also features a Tone control that shapes the high-frequency content, allowing the user to roll off treble for a darker, rounder fuzz or boost it for a brighter, more cutting edge. A Volume knob sets the overall output level, which can be used to boost or cut the signal relative to the bypassed guitar sound. The pedal is housed in a compact, durable metal enclosure with a standard 1/4-inch input and output jack, and it is powered by a 9-volt battery or an optional DC power supply. When engaged, the effect replaces the dry signal entirely with the fuzzed tone, and when bypassed, the guitar signal passes through unaffected.

- Ibanez Standard Fuzz Fuzz Machine No. 59 The Fuzz Machine No. 59 was build between 1973 and 1979. Two sliders and two buttons one button is for on/off the other is for tone change. Slider one is for balance what means level. Slider two is for fuzz depth. With the tone change button you have two modes. Mode 1 is more like an overdrive a little bit thin and lift off the higher frequencies. Mode 2 makes a nice bass-and-treble insanity. What's fascinating about the standard fuzz is the dynamics. It has insanely natural sustain. I can turn the synth volume down to almost zero and still get great sustaining fuzz sounds. The more I turn it up, the dirtier the sound gets. And there's some amazing cross modulation that can turn chords into atonal trash and muted string notes into ring-modulated sounds.
- Good Points: Two different fuzz sounds Long sustain
- Bad Points: Sliders are more susceptible to oxidation
- Price Paid: US$0.00
- Purchased At: it was a gift
