Acorn Amps Bweep Fuzz

The world's smallest Fuzz Face-style pedal — and one of the best. The Acorn Amps BWEEP takes up 2 square inches on your board and sounds like nothing that small has any right to. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.

In this episode the Acorn Amps BWEEP Mini Fuzz takes center stage. This is Acorn's follow-up to their groundbreaking Solid State amp-in-a-pedal, and they've applied the same philosophy: maximum tone, minimum footprint.

The BWEEP is a modded Fuzz Face circuit crammed into a thick diecast aluminum enclosure assembled with Lumberg jacks and a robust latching footswitch. Two controls: Volume and Fuzz. That's it. Which is exactly all you need when a pedal is this responsive to your guitar's volume and tone controls and pickup selection. Roll back your guitar volume and the BWEEP cleans up beautifully — from full singing fuzz sustain all the way back to gritty boost territory in one smooth sweep. Pickup switching adds another dimension of tonal variation without touching a single knob on the pedal.

The Fuzz control sweeps from gritty boost tones through aggressive crunch and into thick, singing lead sustain. Volume provides plenty of output to push your amp as hard as you want. 9VDC powered, less than 10mA current draw. The entire enclosure is smaller than a TC PolyTune or a tap tempo switch.

Note: The BWEEP is now discontinued from Acorn Amps. If you want a sonically similar circuit, Acorn points to their current lineup. Grab a used BWEEP while you can.
