The MONGOOSE FUZZ was developed in 1985 for guitarists who demand an effect with lots of fat fuzz and enough bottom end to keep a metalhead happy. The MONGOOSE FUZZ also sounds as if it has a pre-set type wah voice that gives the distortion distinctive focus. It has proven popular with a wide and varied type of guitar player from Metal through Rock and Jazz. It is more modern sounding and civilized sounding than the Axis or Classic Fuzz and has found a niche with those who want an alternative but not too radically different sound from that produced by the current range of mass produced units from the USA, Japan and Far East.

Electronically, the Mongoose uses a combination of both discrete and IC analog design techniques. The clipping circuit primarily comes from a passive diode circuit resulting in smooth compression and harmonic overtones providing a smooth and transparent transition from clean to overload states. Chords sound very good and with the amazing amount of sustain available, feedback is possible at the lowest amplifier volume settings. These features have made the Mongoose popular in the recording studio and similar situations where feedback is desirable at low sound levels. Current users include Bono (U2) and Joe Perry (Aerosmith).
