The Baker is an old-school fuzz (components and circuit) that uses volume, gain and fuzz controls to wield a ton of different textures from brassy through to overdrive/distortion/fuzz and on to ring modulation. There is a LOT to love about the Baker.
This video features excerpts from a jam I recorded over a @JTCGuitar backing track. I'll upload that complete jam in the near future.
From the website:
" One Volume and 2 Bias controls might not seem like much but this circuit is capable of many great tones. Bias 1 controls the amount of gain; Bias 2 controls the amount of fuzz. Light crunch, classic fuzz, distortion, Trombone Fuzz and a touch of ring modulation."
