Notorious Rabbit now expands its functionality with a Sunn Model T–style power-amp distortion mode. A newly added two-position switch lets you choose between octave fuzz and power-amp distortion operation. At maximum gain, the pedal recreates the sound of a cranked Model T amplifier. Rolling the gain back delivers an overdrive with a rough yet melodic character, while low-gain settings turn it into a clean boost with extra body. A new Input control adjusts the incoming signal level, allowing the pedal to match different guitars, clean up the drive, or tame the fuzz as needed. In octave fuzz mode, Notorious Rabbit uses a Darlington configuration combining silicon and NOS germanium transistors to produce a visceral, upper-octave effect.

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.
