Vemuram Shanks II | John Shanks Produced Silicon Fuzz Boost Pedal

The Vemuram Shanks II pedal, born from a collaboration with John Shanks, pays homage to the classic vintage sounds of the Fuzz Face, Tonebender, and BUZZAROUND. This pedal boasts a unique combination of 2 Silicon Transistors and a FET, enhanced by 3 Orange Drop capacitors. What sets it apart is its remarkable versatility. Whether you’re wielding single-coil or humbucker pickups, or experimenting with various guitars, the Shanks II empowers you to fine-tune your fuzz range. Its controls, including Level, Fuzz, Tone, and Bias Trimmer, provide the flexibility to craft your desired sonic landscape.

This isn’t just a fuzz; it’s a boost that expands into a vast tonal territory. With your guitar’s volume knob, you can effortlessly transition from crystal-clear clarity and chiming tones to the full-throttle roar reminiscent of legends like Zeppelin, Clapton, or Hendrix. The headroom it offers is remarkable, making it suitable for diverse musical contexts. The Shanks II pedal is a harmonious fusion of the simplicity of the original 3-knob design and the added versatility of the 4-knob variant.

“It’s a boost, it’s a fuzz with a big tonal landscape, roll your volume down or up to get either clarity and chime or full on Zeppelin, Clapton, Hendrix all with headroom. Versatile for all situations. It’s the child of the original 3 knob and the 4 knob.” – John Shanks
