USER‘S MANUAL
DESCRIPTION
The Scuzz Box is KHDK’s germanium-voiced fuzz pedal. It provides a singing and powerful fuzz with a bit
of gnarly at the ip of a switch.
TECHNOLOGY
The Scuzz Box is crafted using discrete transistor technology with a meticulously tuned circuit for the
highest performance. Inspired by iconic fuzz pedals of the 60’s, the Scuzz Box circuit is enhanced to match
the needs of a modern-day guitar player and delight vintage pedal lovers.
POWER
The KHDK Scuzz Box is best powered by an external 9V DC (center negative) power supply. Alternatively,
insert a single 9V battery. You can access the battery connection by unscrewing the bottom plate of the
pedal enclosure. It is time to change your battery when your LEDs no longer glow.
DIRECTIONS
1. Locate the input and output jacks on the Scuzz Box and make sure there is 9V power owing through
the pedal.
2. Start your Scuzz Box with the controls at 12 o’clock. Make sure the Scuzz/Fuzz switch is set to Fuzz and
the Buer is o.
3. Your amplier needs to either be in standby mode or o when you plug your Scuzz Box in. Start o with
your amplier in clean mode.
4. Run an instrument cable from your guitar to the Scuzz Box input jack. Run another instrument cable
from the output jack of your Scuzz Box to the input jack of your amplier.
5. To engage the Scuzz Box, press or step on the footswitch until both purple LEDs are illuminated.
6. Adjust your pedal volume to match your amplier or your desired fuzz level. Dial in your desired settings
by adjusting the Scuzz Box knobs and switches to shape your individual tone.
CONTROLS
1. FUZZ makes your signal overdriven, dirty and massive.
Higher settings increase the distortion and sustain of
tone. Lower settings have great dynamics and pick
sensitivity.
2. DEEP controls the amount of lows going into the Scuzz
Box and dramatically inuences the overall dynamics,
dening the character of the tone before the gain
stage. It allows you to match your guitar, pedal and
amp to harmonize as a perfect trio. Deep determines
whether the tone is fat and massive or overdrive-like
with a faster attack. At the lowest setting, the bass
remains tight. At the highest setting you can achieve
a boomy bass overload with endless sustain.
3. VOLUME sets the output volume of the pedal. Warning:
at higher settings, the Scuzz Box has a massive output.
This pedal gets LOUD!
4. TONE is a natural hi-cut control with a very wide range. Turn it clockwise for more high end, turn it
counterclockwise to cut highs.
5. The SCUZZ/FUZZ switch –The dramatic character of the Scuzz Box shines in its two distinct modes:
Scuzz and Fuzz.
The FUZZ is a highly dynamic, articulate fuzz tone. Every note is meant to be heard and it cleans up
beautifully with your guitar volume.
The SCUZZ brings a dangerous, unique and biting sound. It is an unpredictable, ruckus velcro-type
gated fuzz with a nasty, gnarly and buzzy tone with ripping textures. Thanks to a cleverly-used gating
eect, the sustaining notes die quickly with virtually no residual noise. The nal sound is mercurial and
oscillating with tinges of 8-bit. It’s pretty wild. Note that the Scuzz is too powerful and the sound too
highly compressed to be controlled by your guitar’s volume. It can be silent or extremely loud: nothing
in between.
6. BUFFER eliminates the unwanted oscillation that may occur with eects placed in front of the Scuzz
Box. The switch helps retain clarity and eliminates passive signal loss in longer cables. There are no rules
for having the Buer On or O - let your ears be the judge.
