THE FUZZ YOU DON'T HAVE

A new breed of octave fuzz based on a lost circuit that belongs to no known lineage. Three effects all contained across one knob. A tribute to an unknown pioneer who deserved to be famous.

Every octave fuzz you've ever played traces back to just a handful of circuits: the Octavia, the Super Fuzz, and the Tone Machine. The Coyote doesn't originate from any of these classic topologies. It is a complete replication of the obscure and very difficult to find Moonrock Fuzz by G.S. Wyllie, a reclusive North Carolina builder who sandcast his own enclosures, etched his own boards, and designed a unique fuzz utilizing a transformer in an unconventional way that sounds like nothing else. The transformer isn't creating the octave at all - it acts more like an inductive element, shaping how the fuzz stage responds and contributing to the swell, fuzz, and octave character of the control. The result is a texture and feel that doesn't exist anywhere else.

ONE KNOB. THREE WORLDS.

The Swell / Fuzz / Octave control is the heart of this pedal. It sweeps continuously through three distinct zones, each one a different effect.

Swell - At its lowest setting, notes bloom in with a gated, reversed-tape quality. A slow, breathing attack that rises up from silence and responds to your picking dynamics.

Fuzz - At noon, a fully realized fuzz tone. Not a Fuzz Face. Not a Big Muff. The texture sits in Tone Bender territory: rich low end, aggressive mids, the kind of fuzz that handles chords. Shoegaze. Psychedelic rock. Full and powerful.

Octave - Fully clockwise, the circuit shifts into aggressive octave-up territory. Intentionally uneven clipping emphasizes even-order harmonics, especially the second harmonic, pushing it above the fundamental to produce that snarling octave-up sound. Pure Hendrix territory.

The transitions between zones are continuous. Explore everything in between.

WHAT SURPRISED US

Roll back your guitar's volume knob and this pedal transforms. At lower settings on the Swell / Fuzz / Octave control, the Coyote becomes remarkably touch-sensitive: light picking gives you warm, controlled fuzz while digging in triggers the swell. It cleans up better than any octave fuzz we've ever played.

HOW TO USE IT

Put it first in your chain. Play it into another overdrive or an overdriven amp, that's how almost every iconic octave fuzz tone was created. Neck pickup, above the twelfth fret, is where the octave effect is most pronounced. Humbuckers push the swell and octave harder; single coils give more clarity.

CONTROLS

Volume - Controls the output volume. Left is less, right is more.

Swell / Fuzz / Octave - Sweeps through three distinct zones. Fully counterclockwise: gated swell with blooming, reversed-tape character. Noon: full, rich fuzz. Fully clockwise: aggressive octave-up with snarling harmonics.
