Different versions were made, most using silicon transistors. These had a mid-cutting tone circuit, which lowered the volume. An earlier, rarer, version used germanium transistors. These did not have the tone circuit, and therefore had a louder output. The sound from this version is very rich, fluid and thick.
The pedal has two knobs:
- "Volume" (controls overall level)
- "Fuzz" (tone)
