SA245 Kingmaker Fuzz User’s Guide 9
Extreme overshoot: The overshoot
phenomenon can be taken to its extreme for
fuzz and metal sounds. This is characteristic of
the Big Muff Pi and is included in the
Kingmaker’s Heavy effect circuit.
Octave: A rectifier can be used to double the
frequency of the signal, creating an octave fuzz
effect with a unique tonal character. This is
characteristic of the Octavia, and is included in
the Kingmaker’s Octave effect circuit.
The various drive circuits in the Kingmaker Fuzz utilize a combination of these different approaches
to create tones inspired by the classics, as well as new groundbreaking tones that bring their own
unique flavors.
Effect Types
The Kingmaker includes three basic fuzz types, with more effects available in the Neuro mobile app.
Heavy
The Heavy circuit offers the extreme in guitar fuzz. Plenty of low-end and endless sustain creates a
“violin” like fuzz.
Normal
The Normal circuit generates a vintage fuzz that is a bit cleaner than the Heavy circuit. This highly
transparent fuzz delivers that damaged speaker sound that has graced so many great records.
Octave
The Octave circuit generates a soaring octave up effect along with some very nasty fuzz. Try turning
down the tone knob on your guitar to really bring out the higher octave.
Additional Effect Types
Additional effect types can be loaded into the Kingmaker using the Neuro App on your mobile device
(iOS / Android) or the built-in USB port (Mac / Windows).
The Kingmaker Fuzz is compatible with Source Audio’s Overdrive and Distortion effects, so it is
possible to load Overdrive, Distortion, and Fuzz effects on the Kingmaker at the same time.
