MXR M236 Super Badass Variac Fuzz Pedal

The Super Badass Variac Fuzz is a dream come true for guitar players chasing vintage fuzz tone. This tasty fuzz is aggressive and biting, and with the twist of a knob, you can drag it into that “dying battery” territory much prized by tone chasers—no need to manage a collection of half-dead batteries. 
The MXR design team refurbished a rare vintage silicon circuit to create the Super Badass Variac Fuzz, equipped with a Variac control that allows you to establish the pedal's voltage ranging from 5 to 15V. Lowering the voltage by turning the Variac knob counter clockwise will produce a delightful saggy fuzz effect, similar to that of a half-dead battery. In contrast, increasing the voltage enhances the effect's headroom, exposing the fuzz to a more transparent sound at 15V.
