Classic 108 Fuzz

Now in an MXR mini housing, the Classic 108 Fuzz

gives you all the same vintage fuzz tones in a much

smaller footprint. Like its larger predecessor, it’s

loaded with the silicon BC-108 transistor for a round

and dirty crunch. This Classic 108 Fuzz also has

the same no-nonsense control interface—just crank

the Volume and Fuzz controls to your liking and

start rifﬁng. Use the Buffer switch on the side to

make the fuzz play nice with wah pedals.

Basic Operation

1 Run a cable from your guitar to the Classic 108 Fuzz’s

INPUT jack and run another cable from its OUTPUT jack

to your ampliﬁer.

2 Start with both knobs at 12 o’clock. Turn the effect on

by depressing the footswitch.

3 Rotate the FUZZ knob clockwise to increase fuzz

intensity or counterclockwise to decrease it.

4 Rotate the VOLUME knob clockwise to increase overall

effect volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

5 Engage the BUFFER switch to eliminate the oscillation

that sometimes occurs when a wah pedal is used

in front of the Classic 108 Fuzz. You may notice a

brightening of the fuzz tone.

The Classic 108 Fuzz is powered by the Dunlop ECB003

9-volt adapter or an MXR® Brick™ Series power supply

(each sold separately). This pedal cannot be powered

by a battery.
