Walrus Audio Eons Five-State Fuzz - Black

EONS
Five-State Fuzz

For Eons, man has thought the sound of thunder to be from the heavens above, echoing boastfully over us as we stay safe from its greatness. However, legend tells of a stoic and indomitable beast residing in the highest mountains seen and heard only by the most brash of travelers. With gnarled and twisted horns, this creature emits a sound thicker than Earth's crust to command attention and warn all who stand in his way. This is Eons.

Eons is a five-state fuzz capable of massively thick sounds ready to test the limits of any amp's grill cloth. Use the Voltage (lightning bolt) knob to crank up to 18 volts into the pedal's circuit for massive, open fuzz sounds, or choose to starve it down to 3 volts for spatty, gated fuzz. Experiment with the Voltage and Mode knobs for nearly endless styles of fuzz tones. Find vintage-inspired sounds emanating from the stages of Woodstock to chaotic three-chord punk rock. Eons is ready for a fight. 

Controls:

VOLUME - The “Vol” knob sets the overall output volume of the pedal. The “Voltage” and “Gain” controls are very interactive with the overall output volume of the pedal, so there is plenty of volume on tap to compensate.
GAIN - The “Gain” knob sets the amount of gain applied to your guitar signal passing through the fuzz circuit. This parameter is also highly interactive with the “Voltage” knob. Pushing more gain through the pedal at lower voltage settings will result in grittier and dirtier sounds. Lower gain settings at lower voltages will result in very starved sounds. It can even cause the signal to cut out completely at lower extremes, so adjust to taste!
BASS - The “Bass” knob allows you to cut or boost low frequencies after the fuzz circuit. This can be helpful for tightening up the low end or increasing the low frequency emphasis. Starting at noon, turn down to remove bass and turn up to add bass.
TREBLE - The “Treble” knob allows you to increase clarity in the high frequency region or tame them depending on your amplifier and rig. Like the bass control, you may find that at higher gains you will want to add more treble, and at lower gains you may want to roll the treble back. Starting at noon, turn down to cut out highs and turn up to allow more highs.
MODE SWITCH - The “Mode” switch is a five-position rotary switch. Each position offers a different combination of frequency response and clipping style employed by the pedal. You can think of each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal.

MODE SWITCH:

I.   Silicon clipping traditional fuzz that's well rounded with a huge sound; compressed and smooth.
II.  Silicon clipping with an added bass boost that boosts the low end at the beginning of the circuit; compressed and crunchy.
III.  Germanium clipping with a feel of "what if a distortion and fuzz had a kid?"; crunchy and dynamic.
IV.  LED clipping diodes with a slight high-end cut; dynamically dark.
V.  Hard clipping silicon transistors combined with LED and Silicon soft clipping diodes. The rowdiest of the modes with tons of gain: compressed, loud, and angry.
