Tropical Fuzz

Tropical Fuzz is a dual-stage octave fuzz for guitar and bass. Subtle fuzz gives a warm, lightly saturated vintage tone. Turn it up and a second drive stage kicks in, piling the mids into a filthy wall of sound that holds every note. A clean low band stays underneath the whole time, so bass lines hit hard at any setting.

Layer in some analog octave goodness for a ringing, synth-like edge. Fatten up the low end by blending in the clean subs, and tilt the curve between bright, biting highs and thick, round low mids.

Then get creative with the modulation. Run it after the fuzz for wide, swirling textures, or move it in front of the fuzz circuit and let the drive chew on the movement, from driving 80s bass tones to full-blown stereo jet-engine sweeps.

Every control is smoothed, so you can move any parameter mid-song without clicks, and 4x oversampling keeps the fuzz smooth and free of digital harshness.
