Fuzz Mutante Si
Dive into the wild, psychedelic world of the Plan-9 Fuzz Mutante Si! This pedal is a faithful recreation of the legendary Fuzz Regulus VIII, a tone monster used by the iconic Brazilian band Os Mutantes in the 1960s and 70s. The Regulus fuzz was the brainchild of Cláudio César Dias Baptista, the Mutantes' resident gear wizard and brother of the band's founding members Sergio and Arnaldo. Baptista's schematics, published in a Brazilian electronics magazine in 1977, have been meticulously reproduced to deliver the same unhinged, mind-bending fuzz that fueled the Mutantes' cosmic sonic explorations. At the heart of the Fuzz Mutante Si are two rare NOS BC109 transistors, carefully selected to capture the dynamic, harmonically rich tone of the original. Two 1N914 diodes further shape the fuzz, unleashing a thick, snarling distortion that's equal parts aggressive and musical. But this isn't just a vintage clone – the Fuzz Mutante Si also boasts modern upgrades like true bypass switching, an external power supply jack, and circuit protection against battery polarity issues and radio interference. So you can dive headfirst into the Mutantes' psychedelic maelstrom without any unwanted noise or hassle. Whether you're a fan of the Mutantes' out-there sound or simply seeking a unique, inspiring fuzz tone, the Plan-9 Fuzz Mutante Si is a must-have for any adventurous guitarist. Prepare to have your mind blown!
