Flower Pedals Introduces the Lupine Fuzz Pedal

Flower Pedals has unveiled the Lupine Fuzz, which combines an analog octave up with a JFET fuzz into one compact pedal. Useful for both guitar and bass, the pedal has a blend control for balancing your clean signal and the octave up circuit. The octave up side is taken from their Lupine Analog Octave Up pedal but adds a Gain control for dialing in how much level is going into the circuit.

The fuzz side, denoted by the cream colored knobs, has Input, Bias, and Output controls that all interact with each other. “Input sets the input level to the fuzz circuit and works like the volume knob on your guitar with a treble bleed,” they explain. “The Bias control sets the bias of the main gain stage of the circuit, which can give you a range from gated or sputtery fuzz to a smooth, heavy distortion. Output then sets the overall output level from the fuzz.”

Each side of the pedal can be used independently or in tandem. You can also put the pedal into “single fuzz” mode by holding both footswitches at startup. This makes the entire pedal engage or disengage just by using the left footswitch. Finally, the Lupine Fuzz has two sets of inputs and outputs for putting either effect in different places in your signal chain.

You can hear the Lupine Fuzz on bass starting at the 7:13 mark of the company’s demo video:
