Neural network emulation of a custom-built fuzz pedal.

Fuzz Machine is based on a germanium fuzz pedal that I built in 2023. 

The circuit is based on the classic Fuzz Face and Tone Bender circuits, with a switch to enable an extra transistor stage for higher gain. The transistors were carefully selected and biased to obtain a particularly aggressive and sharp fuzz. The Fuzz Machine effect uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that was trained on data recorded from the custom-built pedal, resulting in a true-to-life digital emulation of the effect.

The "Fuzz" and "Level" controls can be used to control the amount of fuzz and the overall output volume. There is also a "Mode" switch to enable the extra transistor stage for even more fuzz.
