Bent To Your Whim: MOD Kits DIY Releases “The Contortionist” Fuzz Pedal
The Tone King | Apr 19, 2014 | Comments 0
MOD Kits DIY has released The Contortionist, a limited edition, all analog high octane fuzz box.
I dated a contortionist once.
Hmmmm.
Anyway.
Fuzz is huge, and in true MOD Kits style, you get to be the one who puts it together. We here at TheToneKing.com have always dug MOD Kits stuff in the past, and we can’t wait to get a chance to check this one out.
It produces fuzz with layered octave overtones similar to those produced by an electronic-bow. The frequency multiplier circuitry creates harmonics that swell and recede depending on gain setting, pick attack, neck position and pickup. This is a high gain circuit that can put out up to 2 volts and will provide ample amounts of sustain.
If you want to be in absolute control of what goes into your tone, then you’ll want to check out The Contortionist.
The full press release is below.

High Octane Fuzz
The Contortionist kit is a limited edition, all analog high octane fuzz box. It produces fuzz with layered octave overtones similar to those produced by an electronic-bow. The frequency multiplier circuitry creates harmonics that swell and recede depending on gain setting, pick attack, neck position and pickup. This is a high gain circuit that can put out up to 2 volts and will provide ample amounts of sustain.
MODTM Kits and Assemblies are designed to give novice and experienced musicians the opportunity to build or modify their own amps, effects pedals and guitars. All kits come with easy-to-follow instructions and use point-to-point wiring. All effect pedals and amplifiers come with a pre-drilled enclosure and all necessary parts are included. All you need to provide are hand tools, a soldering iron and solder. The effect pedal operates on a 9V battery; for a longer lasting option, a 9-volt adapter can be purchased separately.
