Highly articulate and detailed. Pure analog. That's not fuzz - that's worship at full volume - evil, wicked, mean and nasty! The Notorious Rabbit is a compact analog octave fuzz driver based on a nonlinear gain architecture and passive filtering. It is designed to operate with high sensitivity to source conditions, exploiting instability and saturation behavior as primary elements of its response. The input signal passes through a selectable filter network that defines the frequency content presented to the gain stage. This stage is based on a Darlington configuration using both silicon and new old stock germanium transistors, resulting in a non-linear and dynamically reactive amplification characteristic.

OVERVIEW AND OPERATION:
The Notorious Rabbit is a compact analog octave fuzz based on a nonlinear gain architecture and passive filtering. It is designed to operate with high sensitivity to source conditions, exploiting instability and saturation behavior as primary elements of its response.
The input signal passes through a selectable filter network that defines the frequency content presented to the gain stage. This stage is based on a Darlington configuration using both silicon and germanium transistors, resulting in a non-linear and dynamically reactive amplification characteristic.
Before entering the main amplifier, the signal is subjected to diode-based clamping that limits the differential voltage and shapes the waveform. This contributes to early saturation and introduces asymmetry in the signal response.
The conditioned signal is then amplified, with the final stage providing additional gain and low output impedance. The circuit as a whole exhibits strong sensitivity to the input signal level and source impedance. Under higher input levels, the interaction between the clamping, transistor behavior, and amplifier gain can result in complex, unstable, collapsing, or gated waveforms, giving the Notorious Rabbit its distinctly synthetic waveform quality and characteristic sonic and dynamic behavior.

USAGE NOTES:
Due to the circuit’s sensitivity to both signal amplitude and impedance, each instrument will produce a unique tonal response when interacting with the Notorious Rabbit.
