THE EARLY ’70s Maestro Bass Brassmaster is the inspiration for Totally Wycked Audio’s new Krytical Mass KM-01 Reactive Octave Fuzz. Originally designed in 2008, it was shelved for 15 years for reasons that included founder Kevin Bolembach’s obsession with nailing the sound of the original Maestro. The wait seems to have been worth it, because the Krytical Mass is a great-sounding fuzz that’s more straightforward than the TWA prototype that engineer Robert Derby developed.
That said, the KM-01 istransformer’s wiring from positive to negative for more or less low end, respectively.
