Some fuzzes want to be your friend. The Enduring Audio Fell Runner wants to steal your wallet and key your car.
Enduring Audio looked at the Roland Bee Baa – that weird Japanese box from the ’70s that sounded like bees fighting inside a tin can – and extracted its nastiest mode. The stinging one. The one with basically one tone: scooped to hell and not nearly loud enough to actually use.
Then they fixed everything wrong with it and broke everything right about it.
The Sustain knob gets you from mid-high fuzztortion to liquid, endless thickness. But the Texture control is where things get interesting. That’s the bias knob. Low settings sound like your amp is dying in an interesting way. Halfway up keeps some of that raggedness while actually sustaining. Maxed out, it’s full saturation—but even then, something’s still slightly off. In the best way.
The Voice control rescues you from the Bee Baa’s original problem. All the way down is that extreme mid scoop, great for getting lost in a band mix. Turn it up and mids push forward, suddenly you’re cutting through instead of disappearing.
Then there’s the boost stage. Modified Boss FA-1 circuit, because apparently the fuzz wasn’t enough. Two-band Baxandall EQ after the fuzz means you’re not just shaping dirt – you’re reshaping it. Low and High controls boost or cut, and the whole thing is LOUD. Like, annoy-your-bandmate loud. Like, make-the-drummer-turn-around loud.
Place it before your buffered pedals. It’s sensitive that way. Great for confusing family, pissing off neighbors, and making sounds that have no business coming out of a guitar.
Unruly fuzz camp. Population: you.
