Fjord Fuzz Berserk Fuzz
They say:
The Berserkers were a particularly rowdy bunch of vikings known for wearing bearskin clothing and charging up on amanita muscaria before pillaging around the world. The consumption of amanita is disputed by historians, but we do know that both humans and livestock had access to the much more peaceful and friendly Psilocybe Semilanceata, so in the spirit of Tarantinesque revisionism, BERSERK III drapes itself in much more peaceful and psychedelic symbolism for your enjoyment.
BERSERK III expands on the circuit family tree that started with the octave section of ODIN. That same circuit can be configured in four different, equally useful and exciting ways.
- There’s a loud and strong octave fuzz, a precise and pointy octave fuzz, a wide and kind regular fuzz and a bright and loud regular fuzz.
When engaged you are welcomed by a loud, bright and vintage-sounding fuzztone, first found on the BERSERK II. It has perfect string-to-string separation and very even dynamic response across the fretboard. It’s a bit noisier and more raw compared to the regular fuzz found in ODIN.
Toggle BERSERK III into octave mode and you’ll find a near-perfect clear and precise octave doubling. Pointy, crisp, clear and chalky.
Only feed it 9VDC centre tip negative and expect it to draw about 250mA of current, worst-case scenario.
