Kingsgold Fuzz

The Kingsgold is a silicon fuzz face-based pedal designed to deliver classic fuzz tones with a unique gain dial and an external bias control. This pedal is particularly effective when used with amplifiers that have an off-clean, slightly broken-up sound. Unlike its high-gain counterpart, the Godstopper. The Kingsgold offers a range of low to mid gain settings, making it a versatile addition to any pedalboard. It pairs exceptionally well with the Godstopper, providing a complementary fuzz texture.

Key Features:

• Classic Fuzz Tone: The Kingsgold is built to deliver vintage-style fuzz sounds, reminiscent of the classic fuzz face pedals.
• Unique Gain Dial: Allows for fine-tuning of the fuzz intensity, offering a wide range of low to mid gain settings.
• External Bias Control: Provides additional tweaking options to adjust the pedal’s tonal response, enhancing versatility.
• Optimized for Off-Clean Amps: Best used with amplifiers that have a slightly broken-up sound, ensuring the fuzz blends harmoniously with the amp’s natural characteristics.

Usage:

• Set Up: Connect your guitar to the input of the Kingsgold fuzz pedal and the output to your amplifier.
• Adjust Gain Dial: Use the gain dial to find the desired level of fuzz intensity. The dial offers a range from subtle, low gain to more pronounced mid gain fuzz tones.
• Tweak Bias Control: Utilize the external bias control to adjust the pedal’s response and tone. This allows you to tailor the sound to different guitars and amplifiers.
• Amplifier Settings: For the best results, use an amplifier with a slightly broken-up sound. The Kingsgold excels in adding texture and warmth to such amps.

Advantages:

• Versatile Gain Range: Provides a spectrum of fuzz tones from low to mid gain, suitable for various musical styles.
• Classic Fuzz Sound: Emulates vintage fuzz face tones, making it ideal for players seeking a traditional fuzz effect.
• Enhanced Tone Shaping: The unique gain dial and external bias offer extensive tonal customization.
• Great Combination: Pairs well with the Godstopper pedal, allowing for a wide range of fuzz textures when used together.

Comparisons:

• Kingsgold: Classic low to mid gain fuzz, ideal for vintage tones and nuanced sound shaping.
• Godstopper: High gain fuzz with powerful saturation, designed for a more aggressive and intense fuzz effect.

Example Setup:

• Chain Configuration: Place the Kingsgold before or after the Godstopper in your signal chain, depending on the desired effect. For a traditional setup, you might place the Kingsgold first for a classic fuzz tone, followed by the Godstopper for a high-gain boost.
• Dialing In: Start with both pedals’ gain dials at moderate settings. Adjust the Kingsgold’s gain and bias controls to achieve a smooth, classic fuzz. Then, engage the Godstopper and fine-tune its settings to layer a more aggressive fuzz on top.
• Experimentation: Explore different combinations and settings to find unique textures and tones. Use the bias controls on both pedals to further shape the overall sound.

The Kingsgold fuzz pedal is perfect for musicians seeking classic fuzz tones with modern flexibility. Whether used alone or in combination with the Godstopper or another gain-pedal, it offers a wide range of sonic possibilities and enhances the richness of your sound.
