Vemuram Shanks II - Fuzz/Boost

The Vemuram Shanks II is a high-end fuzz and boost pedal - developed in collaboration with renowned producer John Shanks to deliver classic vintage fuzz tones with modern versatility. Inspired by the Fuzz Face, Tonebender, and Buzzaround circuits, the Shanks II provides rich harmonic saturation, dynamic response, and a wide tonal landscape.

At its core, the Shanks II features two silicon transistors and an FET, enhanced by three Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring smooth, organic fuzz with exceptional clarity. The Level, Fuzz, Tone, and Bias Trimmer controls allow players to fine-tune their fuzz range, making it ideal for single-coil and humbucker pickups alike.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the Shanks II functions as both a boost and a fuzz, allowing players to roll their volume down for chime-like clarity or crank it up for full-on Zeppelin, Clapton, and Hendrix-style saturation. Whether you’re chasing classic rock grit, bluesy sustain, or experimental textures, this pedal delivers authentic vintage fuzz with ample headroom.

The solid brass enclosure ensures exceptional durability and shielding, maintaining pristine audio fidelity. With true bypass switching, the Shanks II preserves optimal signal integrity, making it an ideal choice for studio and stage use.
