In conventional terms it will sound best if it is placed first in your signal chain, possibly preceded only by a true bypass wah and\/or tunder.&nbsp; Placing a buffer in front of the Mohs results in a brighter, harsher sound; experimentation is encouraged. &nbsp;Unlike a Fuzz Face, Mohs has a low output impedance that can drive a long cable if needed.<\/p>\n<p>The Mohs has enough gain and volume to easily overwhelm a distorted&nbsp;or compressing amp, resulting in a bassy, blown-out sound. &nbsp;Some combination of moderate output volume on the Mohs (unity or slightly above) and\/or using the Rhythm channel at a high level to increase treble response (via higher input impedance) will help match the Mohs to the amp.&nbsp; You can also try placing a buffer immediately after the Mohs in the signal chain; for example, any standard Boss pedal in bypass mode will work well.&nbsp; Start with the Mohs at unity volume with the bypassed signal, the Rhythm channel all the way up (clockwise), and the FF switch off; slowly turn down the Rhythm channel, slightly increasing the Volume to compensate, until you find your sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A radically transformed silicon Fuzz Face, the Mohs Fuzz offers a wide range of full fuzz sounds from vintage-flavored to total transistor annihilation.
