## What is Fuzz Droid?

Fuzz Droid is a distortion effect based on the gain stage in the CP3 modular mixer. A sharp, asymmetric discontinuity generates massive harmonics and makes for a hyper-aggressive sound. It's the rudest effect we've ever made.

Crunch It!
- Two asymmetric distortion circuits from the OG CP3 module
- CP3+: a sharp discontinuity for big harmonics, absolutely brutal on synth drums

- Bias control shifts how you hit the asymmetry
- Flexible high-pass and low-pass tone-shaping filters
- Pre or post filter placement
