CONTROLS

GAIN— controls the output amplitude

of the signal in the distorting amplifier

section. Depending on the position of the

switch, the distortion introduced by this

section is soft (switch in the left position)

or more aggressive with an abundance of

high harmonics (middle position).

SPOIL and SPREAD— control the opera-

tion of the unijunction transistor (wave-

shaper section). Spoil sets the point on

the amplitude axis at which the wave will

fold, and Spread sets the amplitude of

the folding. The sonic meaning of these

knobs can be described as follows: the

higher the Spread value, the more severe

the distortion will be, and Spoil changes

timbre and response threshold. By ad-

justing Spoil you can achieve various

gating and cutoff effects. At low Spread

values, distortion sounds are mixed into

the clean sound.

TONE— adjusts the brightness of the

sound; the higher the value, the more

high harmonics are present in the signal.

The SWITCH regulates either the distor-

tion mode in the amplifier section (left

and center positions), or it turns on the

total feedback mode (right position),

when the values of all knobs begin to

influence each other and effects occur

such as resonance at certain frequencies

and self-oscillation.

LEVEL— controls the output volume of

the signal.

The FOOTSWITCH routes the signal

through the effect circuitry or from input

to output directly (true bypass).

The array of switches on the side of the

unit gives a few more tonal options:

TONE STACK— routes the signal

through the tone stack section (Tone

knob).

BASS BOOST— enhances bass fre-

quencies.

TONE MODE— changes the behaviour

of the Tone knob (tilt or lowpass).

NOTCH FREQ— changes the central

frequency of the filter.

HIGH CUT— attenuates high frequen-

cies.

COMPRESSOR— routes the signal

through the compressor.

The lower position of the switch enables

the function.

Harvezi Hazze is a versatile and quite unique distortion pedal with awide tonal palette. The heart of Harvezi Hazze is awaveshaper designed

around a unijunction transistor, a relic from the early days of the semiconductor industry unearthed from the e-waste bins offlea markets in

Tbilisi, Georgia. The unique properties of the unijunction transistor allow one simple component to replace a number of very complex devices:

depending on the operating mode, we can get adistortion, a limiter, a waveshaper and agenerator — with asmooth transition between them.

Experiments have shown that this transistor is an excellent basis for a distortion stompbox. The name translates from Georgian as

„a fault on the transmission line“ or „signal jamming“, and both the semantic and phonetic natures of it unequivocally imply what

to expect — an impediment to the input signal, ranging from pleasant harmonic distortions to complete obliteration. The signal chain

of the unit consists of an optical compressor with fixed parameters; a dual-mode distorting amplifier with either softer or harsher

clipping; a waveshaper built around a unijunction transistor; and a tone stack section trying to tame all this mess.
