Caroline Audio Shigeharu Fuzz Pedal, Second-Hand Overview
By employing a cascading hybrid of op-amp and BC184 transistor gain stages, Shigeharu delivers the coveted sweet sustain and ferocious gain you crave, but with unparalleled clarity, enhanced punch, and precise definition. It ensures consistent performance regardless of its placement in your signal chain, remaining unaffected by buffers or wireless units. Plus, with the Havoc* stomp, you can instantly access a parallel octave-up voiced fuzz, adding a hefty dose of aggression to your arsenal.
Inside the pedal, two additional controls await: a bias/gate control for crafting broken, spitty tones, and a slide switch that locks the octave-up function while converting the momentary switch into a kill/mute switch. Shigeharu™ arose from collaboration with John Snyder at Electronic Audio Experiments, as its formidable nature prompted us to seek a second opinion.
