the legendary fuzz from the 60’s, in an ultimate version
We no longer need to introduce this famous circular fuzz pedal, which produced the iconic sound of many guitarists in the 60’s.
With its two volume and gain controls forming a smiling face, it offers a unique sound going from a creamy and dynamic fuzz to a powerful and punchy fuzz with sharp trebles.
The extremely simple circuit offers a lot of space for customization, hence our own interpretation of the mythical pedal with the Feed Me.
The Feed Me mk3 is ultra versatile and customizable. You can get the classic sound of the 60’s model, rich in trebles and sustain.
But also a thick and fat fuzz, for more modern sounds close to stoner tones. Or a garage rock style gated fuzz by using the Crack and Smash controls for a velcro texture.
While remaining ultra expressive and responsive as always to the guitar’s volume and tone controls, with the Feed control, for warm cleans.

the story begins with the mk1
The Feed Me mk1, one of the first Anasounds pedals, and the first fuzz in the range,
provides a revised version of the model modded by Roger Mayer, for the needs of a famous left-handed guitarist.
Roger Mayer’s revised version improved the circuit, limiting the sound differences between the different models, and avoiding the circuit to pick up the radio frequencies.
The Feed Me offers even more stability, with BC108 silicon transistors.
The mk1 proposed 3 controls:
FEED, for an input level of the pedal, allowing an incredible response to
the volume and tone controls of the guitar.
FUZZ, for the gain level of the fuzz, very efficient on the whole range.
OUT, output volume, with enough power to hit the amp’s preamp tubes.
feed me mk2: the ultimate plug & play experience
The Feed Me then evolves into a mk2 version that loses all its controls!
The fuzz model that inspired the Feed Me is known to give the best results with volume and gain pushed to the limit,
so the Feed Me mk2 offers an alternative without external settings, in a total plug and play approach.
For a violent fuzz, focusing on the volume and tone controls of the guitar, to change the texture and get beautiful cleans with the volume down.
There are still internal controls to adjust the fuzz, with
the feed, fuzz, out, bias and treble trimpots, already adjusted by our team.
the feed me mk3 fx teacher: the ultimate customizable version
For its mk3 version, the Feed Me moves into the FX Teacher range, for a DIY pedal to assemble yourself, or already assembled as you choose.
But there is more, the Feed Me FX Teacher introduces additional controls, to adjust the low frequencies for a thick fuzz, and the power supply voltage for a velcro fuzz or gated fuzz.
All this while being able to come back to the sound of the original Feed Me!
choose your side
soldering you said? not my cup of tea.
The FX Teacher line is designed and manufactured in France,
in Anasounds’ workshops under the same conditions than the Origins line.
With the same quality and guarantee.
The pedals are delivered, assembled and tuned with the team’s favorite components and internal settings.
No hassle, let’s plug it in and play right away!
A bag of components to be mounted on the terminal blocks accompanies it
in order to customize its pedal as much as possible with only a screwdriver!
No need for soldering iron and tools.
aspiring designer
A better price for the same sound quality!
And yes, making a pedal is definitely a long process….
The satisfaction of having given birth to your own effect. You are the creator.
An unlimited access to our knowledge database,
enough to really understand and master your tone!
A direct interaction with the designers by submitting comments on the blog articles.
An ingenious method to assemble your kit and make sure it works.
even more possibilities
The FX Teacher project allows you to go even further in your tone quest.
Indeed, you always have the easy-to-access front panel settings, they allow you to quickly adjust your pedal.
On the inside, you know our trimpots well, we’re definitely fans of them at Anasounds. They are very fine adjustments that offer a sound precision worthy of the creator.
But this time, on top of all that, we added terminal blocks! They allow components to be easily added and removed with a simple screwdriver.
Like you ended up… creating your own pedal!
potentiometers
FEED: the input level, for an incredible dynamic, or a self oscillating fuzz when turned all the way up.
OUT: the output level, to hit the amplifier.
SMASH: allows to alter the supply voltage of the circuit, from 0 to 3.8V, when the CRACK mode is activated.
For a brutal gated fuzz!
toggle switches
BASS:
On the lower position, a wide-spectrum, deep and fat fuzz.
On the upper position, the bass capacitor that you have placed on the terminal block,
to cut more or less the basses and come back to the bright sound of the original model.
CRACK:
On the lower position, an open and dynamic fuzz, perfectly reactive to the attack, with a regular power supply.
On the upper position, an underpowered fuzz, supplied by the SMASH control,
for an ultra-compressed gated fuzz effect.
terminal blocks
CAPS: to screw in capacitors only.
Depending on the capacitor chosen, the basses will be cut,
for a more aggressive fuzz.
trimpots
BIAS: affects the bias of the transistors,
which is originally adjusted for an open and dynamic fuzz.
FUZZ: the gain of the fuzz, from creamy to raw fuzz tones.
capacitors
Bass switch down, a 220nF capacitor allows all the bass to pass through,
for a massive and modern fuzz.
Switch on the upper position, the capacitor mounted in the terminal block is selected.
Originally a 6.8nF, for a typical bass cut of a vintage fuzz. You can also use:
4.7nF, for an aggressive and percussive fuzz
10nF, for a fuzz that fits perfectly into the mix
22nF, to bring back a few more bass.

what if it wasn’t so complicated?
We all know (well, almost) the frustration of putting together a kit and figuring out that it doesn’t work.
Yet we tried everything and we don’t understand where we’re stuck…
This is how the FX Teacher project was born with the promise of giving you all the methods, and all the tools you need to do it!
After some patience and a few elbow greases, you will finally be the master and the creator of your own effects.
Isn’t that wonderful? So here’s what we suggest you do to get there:
You will learn the basics of electronics and DIY through our blog articles.
Everything is free and open to everyone, of course.
We have developed an almost infallible kit assembly method.
With this if you can’t make it, it’s because you’re trying to provoke us!
We provide you a selection of tools.
With these, there is no need to search for the right reference on several different sites.
We still use some of them for our production.
And, the guarantee is to be claimed from our supplier in France!
Each kit is designed exactly like an Anasounds pedal.
That is to say, quality components, selected and sorted.
Enough to last for years with a good sound!
In addition, to stay in the Anasounds quality,
you won’t need to buy tools for the preparation of the case.
We send it to you ready with our designs on it. Hot, isn’t it?
We will soon be organizing masterclasses!
The objective is to spend a day together and go back home with
your own pedal!
To register for the masterclass it’s right here!
