Lupine Dual Fuzz

What does every guitarist and bassist need in their tone garden? The obvious answer is a little bit of fuzz. The Lupine Dual Fuzz brings you lots of fuzzy and fizzy options in a compact package!

The Lupine is actually 2 fuzz pedals in one compact 125B enclosure, complete with an extra set of input and output jacks if you want to put the two sides of the Lupine at different points in your signal chain. The Purple Lupine is an updated version of our original Lupine Analog Octave Up pedal, which is based on octave circuits of classic octave fuzzes of the past. The Blend control allows you to blend between your clean signal and the octave up circuit and the Level control allows you to set your output volume. What’s new to this version of the Lupine is the Gain control, which allows you to control the gain into the octave circuit, ranging from a subtle, sputtery octave up to a blaring and piercing octave sound that’ll probably make you want to turn your tone knob down. Paired with this octave fuzz is the new JFET based fuzz circuit on the Cream side of the pedal. The Cream Lupine consists of 3 controls, Input, Bias, and Output, all of which interact with each other. Input sets the input level to the fuzz circuit and works like the volume knob on your guitar with a treble bleed. The Bias control sets the bias of the main gain stage of the circuit, which can give you a range from gated or sputtery fuzz to a smooth, heavy distortion. Output then sets the overall output level from the fuzz. Using these controls you can go all the way from lighter overdrive sounds to fat, heavy fuzz!

You can use the two sides separately, or combine them for more unique tones. The spiky high end of the Purple side pairs really well with the heaviness of the Cream side. Both sides also work great with bass. If you want to use the pedal like a single fuzz pedal which has an octave side, you can put the pedal into “single fuzz” mode by holding both footswitches at startup. This makes the left footswitch engage or disengage the entire pedal and the right footswitch controls whether the octave fuzz is applied or not. Like all Flower Pedals, you can also set each side to either default to on or off at power up.

The Lupine operates on 9-18V center negative, with less than 100 mA.
