Sun Lion
By Analog Man
A Beano Boost and a Sun Face fuzz in one enclosure, the classic treble-booster-into-fuzz combination.
About this pedal
The Sun Lion puts a hand-wired Beano Boost (Rangemaster-style treble booster) and a Sun Face fuzz side by side. The boost section has a three-way switch for midrange, treble or low-range boost. The fuzz has a clean trimmer that works like a preset guitar volume, plus the Sun Dial bias control.
It takes the same transistor choices as the Sun Face, and a four-jack version lets the two sides be used separately.
