The Input works as gain modifying the input level (fuzz) and Output controls volume, but the Diodes control is undoubtedly one the most exciting features out there:Īs you turn it up, you introduce more diode clipping into the circuit, compressing the sound making it sound smoother at lower volumes. The Diodes, Input, and Density controls help you manage the exact sound you want to get of this pedal. What makes the Karma Sutra more interesting is that it is both an overdrive and fuzz at the same time. And just as important, no matter how you have the pedal set, the tone and response always flourish, sensitive to your settings and desires. Get ready for a plethora of harmonic distortion responses from heavily saturated fuzz tones, big and open overdrive, to a sparkling boost. Once you compare it with other fuzz/overdrive pedals, you will notice how those extra harmonics that the Karma Sutra brings make all the difference in richness and sound clarity. Much more than a dirt box! This pedal delivers from calm to extreme and has a wide range of different sounds to offer. Two pedals in one board! Build either Germanium or Silicon version. This circuit delivers an abundance of fuzz with lots of harmonic content bringing out each note definition.
