Crazy Tube Circuits MOTHERLOAD

Motherload pays homage to the classic fuzz/distortion pedals that set the benchmark of saturated guitar sound. At the heart of this pedal you will find two distinct all analog circuits inspired by the Holy Grail of Muff and Rat designs.

R circuit goes from a touch of overdrive all the way up to full out saturated tones. The filter knob is there to
ensure that you will smooth out high frequencies or cut through the mix when needed.

M side is the classic fuzz distortion beast you would expect but with great string separation and rich in
harmonics for almost infinite sustain. The tone knob is the classic muff style knob while the voice knob
helps you cycle through the wide spectrum of muff design variations.

Each circuit is independent from the other with its own EQ control(s) until...you hit the LINK EQ button. This
is where all the magic happens! Now all the EQ controls are active in both circuits and whole new sonic
palette is revealed.

• Faithful reproduction of the Big Muff and RAT circuits that set the benchmark of saturated tones.
• Thick and punchy grind with near infinite sustain.
• Toggle switch to select between muff or rat circuit.
• Gain knob controls the amount of saturation.
• Volume knob controls the overall output volume.
• Filter is the EQ control - variable low pass filter - of the rat circuit
• Tone is the EQ control – blend between fixed lowpass and highpass filters - of the muff circuit.
• Voice control sweeps through the mid frequencies’ tonal variations of the different muff circuits
• throughout the years
• Link EQ activates all 3 tone controls (filter, voice and tone) in both fuzz distortion circuits.
