Flattley Guitar Pedals Solaris - Fuzz Pedal with Boost 2018 Oil Slick Graphics/Blue Halo Lt

The idea behind Solaris was to create a simple fuzz box that would do a few tones well, a “fuzz without fuss”. To this end the gain is preset to max, the volume control of your guitar can be used to change the tone so don’t forget to experiment... 

The Solaris uses a standard minus 9V guitar power supply to power it, there is no way to power it from batteries as most people use pedal boards with supplies on board. 

Bypass switch.

The bypass switch has an LED indicator in it, if lit the effect is active, otherwise a true bypass circuit connects input directly to output. 

Vol control.

The volume control allows the user to determine the output volume of the effect only. It can be used to equalise the volume to the bypassed guitar signal or to dial in as much boost or cut as required. Note that at minimum there is no sound from the effect (always worth checking if the effect is not working). At maximum there is a fair amount of boost so use with caution. 

Tone switch/Tone Control.

Tone switch to the left is a fuzz that is creamy (the sound of Solaris), tone switch to the right gives more treble without losing all the bottom end. The effect is the same for both positions of the boost switch. 

Boost switch.

The ‘Norm’ position gives the gain and tone that we favour, however it was decided to give an alternative more aggressive tone by adding a switch that changes some of the feedback components. As a result the Norm+ selection gives a lift in volume with a harder edge. 

The rest is up to you, enjoy…
