Teaching Machines Fuzzbillion

The Fuzzbillion is a distortion device for guitar, bass and synthesizers.

It can be used with ‘guitar’ or transformer balanced ‘line-level’ signals. The numerical switches provide the ablity to shape the distortion in ways far beyond conventional distortion devices.

Effects ranging from subtle overdrive to screaming distortion can be achieved simply by changing the numbers.

The unit is completely analogue and uses multiple types of diodes and amplification devices from Germanium to Silicon and light-emitting diodes.

The signal flow is from left to right so changes you make on the earlier numbers will affect what happens further down the signal path.

Total recall is possible, simply – write down the number (or photograph it) and you can return to your exact sound whenever you like.

The unit weighs 2.5kg and is 170mm wide, 60mm tall and 147mm deep. It runs on a standard ‘Boss’ style power supply.
