Voodoo Lab Super Fuzz
Voodoo Lab guitar effect pedals are faithful recreations of the most sought after pedals of the '60s and '70s. Handcrafted from the finest modern and vintage components, these pedals are housed in rugged, die cast aluminum cases with heavy duty metal switches. All Voodoo Lab guitar effects are 100% analog, handwired, and feature true bypass switching.

The rare Jordan Electronics Bosstone (circa 1968) is considered by many to be the ultimate vintage fuzz. The Voodoo Lab Superfuzz starts with this classic fuzz design and adds unique tone and resonance circuits to create an amazing new array of fuzz tones.
The tone control delivers a wide spectrum of midrange and bass timbres, everything from an extreme gain scooped tone through a raucous, bluesy, prominent mid voicing. The resonance control is a sub-harmonic booster that lets you add an aggressive bottom end not typically found on fuzz pedals. Attack varies the gain from rich and creamy to outrageous.
“The Superfuzz flaunts tons of output and reacts well to picking dynamics...while making a little combo amp sound like it’s pumping a big cabinet. Yeah!” -Guitar Player
Guitar Player Magazine Superfuzz Review
Buzz, Boost, and Burn
November 1999
By Darrin Fox
The popularity of other effects may come and go, but distortion boxes will always be the top choice for most guitarists. The eight pedals in this roundup range from mild chunkers to fuzzed-out fireballs. To suss out their distorted glories, each pedal was plugged into a Vox AC30, a Fender Deluxe Reverb, a Matchless Chieftain combo, and a 50-watt, mid-'70s Marshall head and 4x12 cabinet. Test guitars included a Fender American Standard Strat, a Fender reissue Tele Custom, and a Gibson Les Paul.
Voodoo Lab Superfuzz
If pure sonic havoc is your thing, the Superfuzz is a must. This device sports an aluminum enclosure, PC-board construction, true-bypass switching (with an LED status indicator), and a DC power jack. The controls are volume, resonance, tone, and attack.
The Superfuzz is all about trashy, unrefined buzz. The pedal's resonance control is a subharmonic booster that does a great job of keeping the Superfuzz's buzz intact, while making a little combo amp sound like it's pumping a big cabinet. Yeah! The tone control delivers a wide spectrum of midrange and bass timbres, but even in its meatier modes, the pedal never loses its great fuzz splat. The Superfuzz flaunts tons of output and reacts very well to picking dynamics - you can elicit many different distortion textures by simply adjusting your guitar's volume control. This pedal is an exceptional choice for hardcore fuzz heads.
