fuzzlord drone master

The Fuzzlord Drone Master is a brutal high gain machine that takes the RAT and adds two toggles for more tonal versatility. The left switch controls a mid-scoop or boost while the right switch allows for silicon diode clipping or a much louder and compressed LED clipping mode.

Fuzzlord Drone Master Distortion Builder Notes

Based on the classic LM308 RAT circuit made famous by countless bands over the decades, the Drone Master is a heavy-laden drone-filled take on the classic circuit. Brutally high gain, different clipping options, and added mid scoop/boost toggle make the Drone Master a perfect addition to any pedalboard.

Two toggles give a total of 4 different modes. The left toggle chooses between a mid scoop or a mid boost akin to the classic Hyperfuzz, while the right toggle chooses between silicon diode clipping (stock) and a much louder and compressed LED clipping mode that provides a volume boost.

Controls

Level: Overall output level. Counter-clockwise for less, clockwise for more.

Filter: Treble-cut tone control to tame any harsh top-end. Clockwise for unfiltered, counter-clockwise for more treble cut.

Gain: Amount of gain in the circuit. Counter-Clockwise for overdrive-like tones, clockwise for all out sonic destruction.

Toggle 1: Mid boost/scoop control. Up for mid scoop, down for stock.

Toggle 2: Silicon/LED clipping control. Down for Silicon (stock), Up for LED.

Power

Use of an isolated 9-volt, center negative (-) DC power supply is recommended for optimal performance.
