Product Overview

the ultimate stomp for guitar players in pursuit of vintage fuzz tone! The Super Badass Variac Fuzz packs an aggressive, biting punch, and with a simple twist of a knob, it replicates the coveted dying battery effect minus the headache! MXR meticulously crafted the Super Badass by dusting off a rare vintage silicon circuit, then adding a Variac control that allows you to set the voltage anywhere from 5 to 15V. Not sure what a variac is? Think Ed Van Halen. By turning the Variac knob counterclockwise, you achieve the wonderful, saggy fuzz effect of a 9V battery losing power. Dial it the opposite way, and the increased voltage raises the effect's headroom, opening up the fuzz for a more transparent sound at 15V. A simple interface with Tone, Output, and Gain controls, proves perfect for tweaking and quickly dialing in your perfect fuzz tone. It all comes packed in road-ready housing with true bypass switching, making it the next pedal you need to buy!

  • Widely variable unique fuzz tones
  • Integrated variac circuit
  • Set at low voltage the effect mimics a dying 9V battery
