Congratulations on acquiring the Lil’Jean Fizz, your boutique fuzz pedal inspired by the legendary Big Muff Pi with a unique twist! Get ready to add a splash of sonic flavor to your guitar tones with the perfect blend of gin, lime, water, and sugar!
The Lil’Jean Fizz is a boutique fuzz pedal designed to deliver a rich and creamy distortion reminiscent of the classic Big Muff Pi, with the added flexibility of fine-tuning your tone. The controls - Gin (Level), Lime (Sustain), Water (Tone), and Sugar (Body) - allow you to craft a variety of fuzz tones to suit your playing style.
Controls
Gin (Level)
Controls the overall volume of the effect. Turn clockwise for a louder output and counterclockwise for a quieter output.
Lime (Sustain)
Adjusts the amount of fuzz/distortion. Turn clockwise for more sustain and fuzz, and counterclockwise for a cleaner sound.
Water (Tone)
Fine-tunes the tone of the fuzz. Turn clockwise for a brighter tone and counterclockwise for a warmer, darker tone.
Sugar (Body)
Adds thickness and body to your tone. Turn clockwise for a fuller sound and counterclockwise for a thinner sound.
Clipping Diode Switch
This switch allows you to select between different clipping diodes for varied tonal characteristics.
- Olive: Engages Germanium diodes for a vintage, smooth clipping sound. Suitable for a classic, warm fuzz tone.
- Dry: Activates Silicon diodes for a balanced and versatile clipping option.
- Ice: Engages Silicon diodes with a tight attack for a crisp and responsive clipping, ideal for cutting through in more aggressive playing styles.
Powering Up
Connect a 9V DC power supply to the pedal’s power jack. Ensure that the power supply is center negative. The correct polarity must be observed (center pin of the power jack is negative, outer part is positive) to avoid damage to the Lil’Jean Fizz.
