In the later part of the Summer of 2020, we tested out a fuzz pedal that blew our minds…with just two knobs. The Goblin Fuzz from Bardic Audio Devices was one of the buzziest, noisiest, awesomest fuzzes we’d seen in a minute, and we couldn’t wait for more. Fast forward to, well, today, and we bring you the Berzerker Fuzz, another gem from Bardic with a ton of options and even more killer tone. Strap in, hold on and get ready…
The Berserker Fuzz is the next evolution of the famous Russian Big Muff. Loved by doomers and bassists alike, it has been made to be more friendly for its fans. The Clean signal can be boosted in level in order to better mix the fuzz and clean signals. This is by far the biggest improvement made functionally. There is also a Shift knob which can alter how deep the mid scoop is which can help fill out the fuzz without losing the high end. The Attack switch alters which frequencies are clipped through the fuzz stages which can change the entire sound of the muff. The Clip switch changes the clipping configurations from classic silicon, to Red LEDs, and to silicon mixed with Red LEDs.
In combination with the standard Sustain, Tone and Level controls, the Berserker makes for a truly versatile fuzz and distortion machine. The combinations are seemingly endless, and the fuzzy, distorted sounds it produces are enough to satisfy the most snobbish of Muff users. Versatility is the key ingredient here, and the Bardic Audio Devices team has got it dialed in to a T. Cheers to those guys on another wonderful creation – check out their website for the full effects lineup, and be sure to hear the Berzerker Fuzz in action over on our YouTube channel!
