From Portland, with Fuzz
MixWave certainly isn’t the first to emulate a fuzz pedal, but they are the first to incorporate the effects of automatic thermal bias implemented to manage the temperature-sensitive nature of Germanium transistors. Sweetwater’s studio guitarists are impressed with the Benson Germanium Fuzz plug-in's ability to accurately emulate the changes in sonic texture you’d normally find with physical pedals that have Germanium transistors, with temperature fluctuations over longer periods of use impacting the overall sound. This simulated pedal can work just as effectively on mono and stereo signals, with dedicated highpass and lowpass filters for input and output signals. A streamlined interface includes a basic volume output adjustment, a highly dynamic and interactive gain control, and an impedance knob. The latter is designed to model the effect of dialing down a guitar’s volume without affecting the volume of the input signal, resulting in a tight, glistening character. From clean boosts to a wall of overdrive, the Benson Germanium Fuzz plug-in will light up your sound!
