Is it a fuzz? Yes! Is it an overdrive? Yes! Is it a sparkly boost? Yes!
The Karma Suture’s four control layout allows you to dial in a huge range of harmonically rich tones that sound great into clean amps, overdriven amps or into a foundation overdrive, such as the Dirty Little Secret. It can work equally well with vintage single coils and hot humbuckers.
Silicon Karma Suture ups the gain, output, and brightness with two silicon transistors, still in PNP/NPN configuration, along with a pair of silicon diodes, configured for asymmetrical clipping.
The Density control goes from a thick fuzz tone all the way to a tight harmonically rich overdrive that screams “rock and roll!”. This control allows you to fine-tune and find the exact sweet spot.
The Diodes control allows you to set the threshold of the diode clipping circuit – from full clipping to get the most distortion and compression all the way to no diode clipping for a wide-open sound.
The Input knob controls how much of your guitar signal gets to the harmonic generator. Set it low for a lively boost, laden with even-order harmonic content. Or crank it all the way up to get fuzz blasts.
The Output controls the volume level.
