It's all analog on silicon transistors, with Level, Tone and Fuzz knobs and a switch between Vintage and Modern modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage mode is the raspy, aggressive one, and it follows your guitar's volume knob: roll it back and the fuzz drops to crunch and then to clean. Modern mode has more gain, a fatter sound and more midrange, and its Tone knob changes the brightness without moving the mids. With the Fuzz down and the Level up, it works as a boost into the amp or another drive pedal. Old fuzz pedals drift with temperature, age and battery; the silicon circuit holds its sound steady. The bypass is buffered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew from Boss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pgh-includes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V alkaline battery and Boss leaflet (safety notes and information)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pgh-specs-card\" style=\"border:1px solid #d9d4c7;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 16px;margin:18px 0 6px;background:#faf8f3\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"pgh-specs\" style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb (430 g), with battery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\/8 x 5-1\/8 x 2-3\/8 in (W x D x H); 73 x 129 x 59 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Level, Tone and Fuzz knobs; Vintage\/Modern mode switch (V\/M); pedal switch; Check indicator (also battery check)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs and outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Input and Output (1\/4-inch); DC In\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V battery (alkaline or carbon-zinc) or Boss PSA-series AC adaptor (sold separately)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent draw:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 mA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pgh-for-whom\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guitarists after a 1960s-style fuzz that cleans up from the guitar's volume knob, with a second mode for fatter, higher-gain sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pgh-qa-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"pgh-qa\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it run on a battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.

M is Modern mode: more gain, a fatter sound and more midrange.
