The Coyote doesn't originate from any of these classic topologies. The Coyote is a complete replication of the obscure and very difficult to find Moonrock Fuzz by G.S. Wyllie, a reclusive North Carolina builder who sandcast his own enclosures, etched his own boards, and designed a unique fuzz utilizing a transformer in an unconventional way that sounds like nothing else — the product of wild experimentation combined with solid electrical engineering fundamentals. Here's what makes it strange: the circuit has a transformer, but it's not doing what transformers do in other octave fuzzes. It's not creating the octave at all. Glenn put it somewhere else entirely, where it acts more like an inductive element, shaping how the fuzz stage responds and contributing to the swell, fuzz, and octave character of the control. We've never seen anyone do this. The result is a texture and feel that doesn't exist anywhere else. He never mass-produced them. He passed away in 2014, still building. This is our tribute to Glenn and the wily circuit he left behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eONE KNOB.

A slow, breathing attack that rises up from silence. The final stage of the circuit is allowed to turn on gradually, easing the signal in and creating a natural bloom that responds to your picking dynamics. We've only ever seen one other pedal attempt this — a thousand-dollar vintage piece with a dedicated footswitch for it. Glenn built it into a portion of the controls sweep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFuzz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e — At noon, a fully realized fuzz tone. Not a Fuzz Face. Not a Big Muff. The texture sits in Tone Bender territory — rich low end, aggressive mids, the kind of fuzz that handles chords. Shoegaze. Psychedelic rock. Full and powerful. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOctave\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e — Fully clockwise, the circuit shifts into aggressive octave-up territory. Intentionally uneven clipping emphasizes even-order harmonics, especially the second harmonic, pushing it above the fundamental to produce that snarling octave-up sound. This is pure Hendrix territory — and Glenn, who met Jimi several times in Greenwich Village, was always pointing here. He landed on it perfectly, his own way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe transitions between zones are continuous.

At lower settings on the Swell \/ Fuzz \/ Octave control, the Coyote becomes remarkably touch-sensitive — light picking gives you warm, controlled fuzz while digging in triggers the swell. It cleans up better than any octave fuzz we've ever played. That kind of dynamic response is almost unheard of in this category.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO USE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePut it first in your chain. Play it into another overdrive or an overdriven amp — that's how almost every iconic octave fuzz tone was created. Clean amps work, but the sound in your head usually has some overdrive after the fuzz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck pickup, above the twelfth fret — that's where the octave effect is most pronounced.
