Analog Alien - Alien Twister Fuzz Pedal

Here's what Analog Alien say

The Alien Twister is a fuzz, distortion and overdrive pedal with a built-in buffer. With an output that reaches unity gain at 10 o’ clock, this pedal has plenty of power to blow the doors off of all your favourite venues. And to keep you hungry for that tasty Analog Alien tone even after you’ve put the guitar down, this fuzz/buffer pedal includes a bottle of Alien Twister Hot Sauce.

Features

• All-analog fuzz/buffer pedal for great fuzz tones
• Input knob gives you control of the amount of signal sent through the pedal
• Fuzz switch gives you convenient stomp in/out access to effects
• Stab knob defines the articulation and sensitivity of the fuzz tone.
• Buffer switch converts a high impedance input to a low impedance output and can be used to affect fuzz for more tones
• High-gain Output knob sends your tone to the amp or mixer
• Works with a 9-volt battery (included) or optional power supply (not-included)

Control over input and output flavours your tone.

This pedal lets you control what comes in and what goes out to make sure you get just the tone you want. Where you set the Input control determines the amount of signal sent from your guitar to the input of the pedal, giving you tons of versatility. The Output control hits your amp and hits it as hard as you need; but be warned, the output reaches unity gain at its 10 o’clock setting and is piping hot!

Stab slices and dices for tonal definition.

All pedal-heads love the Alien Twister’s Stab control. Use this knob to dial in your definition. Turn it to the left for a decrease in voltage that builds you a buzzing wall of tone, or adjust it to the right for a bite of articulation and sustain that leaves an aftertaste. And since stab controls the amount of voltage sent to the final transistor stage of the pedal, you’ll discover perfect fuzz, distortion and overdrive tones when you use it along with the Input control.

Buffer circuit serves up signal and tone.

The buffer circuit on the Alien Twister is a simple preamp that changes your high impedance input to a low impedance output – strengthening your signal without adding gain. The buffer’s high-to-low impedance conversion feature doesn’t lose your tone or rob you of signal. It is perfect for matching impedances on your vintage gear, playing through the other signal-hungry pedals in your chain, or getting your tone to the end of a long cable run. And since the buffer circuit is completely independent from the rest of the pedal, you can use it to affect your fuzz tone. You’ll have even more awesome tonal options to cook up within the same pedal.
