Champion Leccy Dunsh

Here is what Champion Leccy say about The Dunsh:

If you read the first End of Days Fuzz article last year where I talked about the first stage of development, you probably noticed me mention the word ‘dunsh’.

The first ‘dunsh’ was an addition I made to the last of the four transistor stages of the Black Russian Big Muff circuit that I used in the Gett and the Bloody Gett. It was a switch to add amp-smashingly loud, noisy and bottom-endy fuzziness.

That single transistor stage made a return in a further modified form as the left hand side of the Canny Fettle Boost a couple of years ago.

I’d been considering bringing back that dunsh sound in some pedal form since we discontinued the Canny Fettle Boost. Initially the dunsh was going to be a key part of the End of Days Fuzz, but as the design progressed, it started looking more and more promising, so I decided to work on it as its own thing with the possibility of becoming a regular line. And so here we are!

Our next release will be a dedicated dunsh pedal called ‘The Dunsh’.

So what is this new ‘the Dunsh’ pedal?

The Dunsh is an original design that features a ‘bells and whistles’ form of that original transistor gain stage from the Gett/ Canny Fettle Boost sandwiched between a few op amp stages for filtering, gain and EQ.

I’m still trying to find the right description, because it covers a lot of ground, but it’s a super flexible and wide-ranging gain stage with a lot of EQ options.

It goes from clean boost to distortion, with stupid amounts of output.

It has some broad spanning EQ options

It has two controls for gating.

It has a second footswitch for the namesake ‘dunsh’ sound to step it up a notch. The Dunsh does not operate independently. It is an internal boost to one section of the circuit.
