A Fuzz Box For Your Modular

US Guitar stomp box company, Black Cat Pedals, releases Monster K-Fuzz Eurorack module      18/11/15

Normally specialising in guitar stompboxes, Black Cat Pedals has released their first product for the Eurorack modular synth market. The Black Cat Monster K-Fuzz Eurorack module processes audio signals through a modified vintage fuzz circuit to create an array of harmonically complex tones and textures. The brainchild of vintage synth collector Tom Hughes, the Monster K-Fuzz module has been adapted and optimized specifically for use with modular synthesizers.

A spokesperson told us, "There's a lot to consider in adapting a stompbox circuit design to be used in a modular synth format. We didn't want to just take a crappy dirt pedal, slap a panel on it and pass it off as a synth module. In this context, the Monster K-Fuzz functions as a cross between a VCF and a wave shaper. The upper octave fuzz circuitry creates distinct overtones that traditional filters are not capable of. And even when fully overdriven, the Monster K-Fuzz sounds organic and warm... just what you'd expect from a great vintage fuzz."

Monster K-Fuzz module features:

  • Variable controls for Saturation and Frequency
  • 3-position selector switches for Clipping and Voicing
  • Two separate Voltage Control Inputs
  • Durable metalphoto finish 6HP panel
  • Premium quality through-hole components
  • Hand-built in the USA


Pricing and Availability:
The Monster K-Fuzz Eurorack module retails for $150
