Kaisertronics x Edge of Breakup Dual Boost & Fuzz
The ultimate NOS germanium fuzz — designed specifically for this channel. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
In this episode the Kaisertronics Dual Germanium Boost/Fuzz takes center stage — this pedal was initially designed for Sean at Edge of Breakup, combining two of Kaisertronics' most beloved circuits into one unit at the channel's request.
The Dual Germanium Boost/Fuzz combines the Damn Germanium Booster (a Dallas Rangemaster-style treble booster circuit) and the Deluxe Germanium Fuzz (a modified Fuzz Face topology) into one enclosure. A combo of NOS TI 2N404 and 2N508 transistors were used in Sean's original unit.
Each side can be run independently or stacked — and the stacking order matters. Run the fuzz into the booster for classic Rangemaster-into-Fuzz-Face character: the booster's Range knob becomes a tone control for the combined fuzz output, letting you dial in everything from dark and woolly to ice-pick treble. Reverse the order — booster into fuzz — and you get wilder, more compressed, cocked-wah-adjacent tones with unique oscillation characteristics.
A bias knob on the fuzz side and internal trimmer controls on both circuits allow deep fine-tuning of each transistor's operating point. Vary the volume of each side independently, adjust the bias, and the tonal variations are extensive.
