Fuzz with Flexibility, Attitude, and Alt-Rock DNA
The Awkward Mustache Fuzz from Voltic Electronic Devices is a shape-shifting fuzz/drive hybrid that delivers everything from tight, articulate grit to full-spectrum sonic destruction. Inspired by the blown-out tones of ’90s alt-rock legends like Smashing Pumpkins, this fuzz pedal captures the spirit of that era—but with far more control, clarity, and tonal range under the hood. It’s an op-amp design, which is a real rarity in the fuzz world!
Whether you’re stacking massive shoegaze textures or tracking tight rhythm parts for hours in the studio, the Awkward Mustache stays musical, responsive, and always inspiring.
Versatility Meets Character
At its heart, the Awkward Mustache is a study in contrasts. It offers unprecedented string separation even at high gain settings, while the Fuzz knob covers a massive range—from a clean boost with edge, all the way to face-melting, harmonically rich distortion. You get the best of both worlds: classic wooly fuzz when you want it, and modern, mix-ready bite when you need it.
This makes it a powerful tool for everything from shoegaze and dream pop to post-hardcore and experimental rock.
Two Modes, Infinite Personality
Super Mode
Super Mode engages a pair of matched hard-clipping Germanium diodes before the final gain stage, shaping your tone with a focused rolloff of bass and treble. Crank the fuzz, and you’re rewarded with a unique, textured clipping character that’s complex, saturated, and surprisingly articulate.
Defeat Mode
Defeat Mode bypasses the tone control circuit entirely—removing the classic mid-scoop often associated with Muff-style pedals. The result? A punchy midrange presence and a noticeable volume bump that pushes you front and center in any mix. Raw, bold, and brutally effective.
