FLATIRON FUZZ
Congratulations on your purchase of the Flatiron Fuzz, an extremely versatile,
classic op-amp-powered pedal that can take you all the way from warm, round
overdrive to full-on, fuzzy distortion. At lower drive settings the Flatiron
Fuzz will remain fairly clean adding a pleasant mild drive. At medium and
higher drive settings the Flatiron Fuzz can produce a thick classic tone circa
the late `70s and far beyond. The expressive filter lets you dial in just the
right amount of high-end…from dark to raunchy. The Flatiron Fuzz features true
bypass.
Electro-Harmonix trivia: the Flatiron Fuzz is named after the historic
Flatiron Building in New York City. It’s an iconic landmark located just down
the block from EHX headquarters in the 1970s and it’s the building pictured on
your pedal.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DRIVE Knob — Controls the amount of input gain that goes into the fuzz
circuit. Turn the DRIVE clockwise to go from clean to high gain.
FILTER Knob — Sets a low pass filter that tames the natural highs that
are accentuated by the fuzz circuit. As the FILTER knob is turned clockwise,
the filter’s frequency increases allowing more high-end to pass through the
pedal.
VOL Knob — Adjusts the output volume of the Flatiron Fuzz.
FOOTSWITCH and LED — The footswitch toggles the Flatiron Fuzz between
effect and true bypass mode. The LED lights when the effect is engaged.
INPUT Jack — This 1/4″ jack is the input to the Flatiron Fuzz. Plug your
guitar into here. The input impedance is 1MOhm.
AMP Jack — This 1/4″ jack is the Flatiron Fuzz’s output. Connect this to
the input of your next effect or amplifier. Output impedance varies from 500
Ohms to 25KOhms depending on the VOL Knob set.
POWER
The Flatiron Fuzz can run off of a 9V battery or you can use an optional 9VDC
AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25mA to the 9V power jack, such as
the EHX9.6DC-200. The AC Adapter must have a center-negative plug. The battery
may be left in or taken out when using an AC Adapter. The Flatiron Fuzz has a
current draw of 5mA at 9VDC.
Please Note: Using the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may
damage your Flatiron Fuzz and void the warranty.
Changing the Battery
To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of
the Flatiron Fuzz. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom
plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while the
bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a component.
