Fuzz Machine · Volume

Baxandall EQ · Treble
Shapes high-frequency detail. Increase for clarity and bite; reduce if pick attacks are harsh.
Use in the rig
Add this module from the effect catalogue and select its position before amp, after amp, or after cabinet. Use the module enable switch to compare bypassed sound. Hold and drag its chain card to reorder; Duplicate makes another instance and Remove deletes it. In a session, automation can change its controls over the loop. Save sound preset stores the rig for reuse.
