FuzzBillion Numerical Tone Switching Distortion Pedal

Teaching Machines FuzzBillion

The FuzzBillion from Teaching Machines is a unique analog distortion pedal capable of creating a variety of interesting textures all through a series of 10-position wheels. Easily the most striking thing is the series of fixed position wheels which actively shape the circuit in subtle and profound ways. This system also makes it easy to store settings: simply write down a number and you're good to go. The wheels give you a wide level of control with standard controls for Input Boost, Tone, Output Clipping, and Output Tone—wheels 1, 5, 10, and 11 respectively. However, you get more nuance than your traditional distortion with three controls for the clipping amplifier on wheels 2, 3, and 4. Going even deeper into the tone mines, you get two controls for an octave fuzz circuit on wheels 6 and 7, and finally a control for a PLL and Bias Offset.

FuzzBillion is designed to work with guitar, bass, and line level instruments with built in transformer balancing for the line levels. There are switches on both the input and output stage, making it easy to send your synth to a pedalboard and amp set-up or your pedalboard into an interface. Quite possibly one of the most unique units you'll see, the FuzzBillion from Teaching Machines is the distortion system you've been looking for.
