Official effect
Clipped fuzz followed by value quantization for grainy digital edges and stepped top-end trash.
This path drives the signal into a single tanh fuzz stage and then runs it through a quantizer before the final high-shelf EQ. `bias` controls the quantization step count in the current code, so lower settings make the output coarser and more crushed rather than shifting transistor bias.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works
This path drives the signal into a single tanh fuzz stage and then runs it through a quantizer before the final high-shelf EQ. `bias` controls the quantization step count in the current code, so lower settings make the output coarser and more crushed rather than shifting transistor bias.
Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo with a 19-sample right-channel delay and slight left/right shelf-EQ offsets before it hits the fuzz core.

Single-stage fuzz followed by amplitude quantization and post-fuzz high-shelf tone shaping.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends the untouched stereo preview source with the fuzzed path after the effect core.
Lower settings preserve more pick attack and clean body; higher settings push the fuzz treatment to the front.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual fuzz structure.
Raises the gain feeding the initial tanh fuzz stage.
Adds sustain and pushes more signal into the aliased texture.
Adjusts the post-fuzz high shelf after quantization.
Lets more digital edge through or rounds the top off.
Sets the quantization resolution after clipping.
Lower settings sound grainier and more stepped; higher settings smooth the quantized edge.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same quantized fuzz topology as Crushed Bias Fuzz.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
