DIRECTIONS
• Run a cable from your guitar to
the M236’s INPUT jack and run
another cable from the M236’s
OUTPUT jack to your amplifier.
• Set OUTPUT, GAIN, and VARIAC
controls to their 12 o’clock
positions, and set the TONE
control fully clockwise.
• Turn effect on by
depressing footswitch.
• Rotate GAIN knob clockwise
to increase amount of fuzz or
counterclockwise to decrease it.
• Rotate OUTPUT knob clockwise
to increase overall effect
volume or counterclockwise
to decrease it.
• Rotate TONE knob
counterclockwise to cut
high frequencies for a darker

POWER

(remove bottom plate to install),

and Iso-Brick™ power supplies.

The Super Badass Variac Fuzz provides snarling,
aggressive tones thanks to a hot-rodded vintage
circuit. On top of that, it’s got a Variac knob to
change up the voltage, so you can take your
fuzz from saggy “dying battery” sounds to high
headroom transparency.
