We love a good gated fuzz around here. The Hot Snakes is our clone of the OOP EQD Dirt Transmitter* with an added feedback loop. It’s true, we’ve found a way to have this thing get even dirtier than the original. Flip the Aggravate switch to feed the signal back into itself creating oscillating feedback. Have fun adjusting the knobs to shift the feedback pitch, or you can twist the volume knob on your guitar to achieve the same effect. Keep it hot and dirty with the Hot Snakes.
Knobs and switch descriptions:
Choke: Affects how much voltage is sent to the transistors. Rotate down to get a sputtering, gated effect. Rotate up to get a more natural, thick fuzz.
Dirt: This is why we are gathered here today. You know which way to turn the knob to get more.
Filter: Controls the tone. Roll it left for more lows and right for more highs.
Level: Turns the volume up or down (but mostly up).
Aggravate (toggle switch): Flip it to the right to activate the feedback loop.
Heat: This only works when Aggravate is activated. It mostly shifts the feedback pitch from low to high. Adjust accordingly.
Note: This pedal uses a feedback loop to create the pitch shifting feedback oscillation effect. It matters where you place the pedal in your signal chain. For best results, have it as the first pedal in your chain, or only place it after true bypass pedals that are turned off.
This pedal has true bypass switching and requires a 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel.
