Between its three clipping modes, its musical tone control, and its bass-boost switch, the Walrus Audio Jupiter Fuzz V2 can craft a huge palette of fuzz tones from any electric guitar. Dial back its tone control for a warm and woolly character that sits back in the mix, or turn it up for just the right amount of bite and presence to push your tone to the front. Use the internal gate control to tame excessive noise or for that glorious dying-battery fuzz effect. Between the controls on the pedal and the controls on your guitar, the Walrus Audio Jupiter Fuzz V2 pedal will reward you with practically any fuzz tone you could ask for.

Three clipping modes for distinct fuzz voicings





Use the Jupiter Fuzz V2's 3-way mode switch to select from three different clipping diode arrangements, each with its own character. The left-most switch position offers the lowest amount of fuzz, with little compression and the most output of the three modes. In the middle position, you'll have more fuzz and more compression, with less total available output. In the right-most position, you'll have the most fuzz and the most compression, with the lowest output of the three modes.





Bass switch allows you to choose between thin and fat





Guitarists at Sweetwater like fuzz effects with low-frequency control, like the Walrus Audio Jupiter Fuzz V2. For midrange-focused Ventures-style fuzz effects, leave the bass boost off. For a more modern, synthy fuzz effect, engage the bass boost for a heavy dose of low-end punch. Both modes offer a distinct tonality, and they're available at the flip of a switch.





Internal gate control for spitty, dying-battery effects





If you're serious about fine-tuning your fuzz sound exactly to your needs, simply open up the Walrus Audio Jupiter Fuzz V2 pedal to access its inner gate control. It's set from the factory to cut excessive noise without robbing you of all your sustain. But if you like that spitting sound of a fuzz pedal with a dying battery, simply dial the gate control back. For a less aggressive gate effect, turn the control back up.
