The Karma Sutra is a unique pedal that offers a wide range of sounds from calm to extreme. It is both an overdrive and fuzz, and has two versions: germanium and silicon. The Density, Diodes, Input, and Output controls allow you to customize the sound to your liking. The Density control helps you match the pedal to your amplifier’s response, while the Diodes control introduces more diode clipping into the circuit, compressing the sound and making it smoother at lower volumes. The Input works as gain, modifying the input level (fuzz), and the Output controls volume. The germanium version is smoother and warmer, with more touch sensitivity, while the silicon version has more top-end treble, is good at cutting through mixes, and has more gain capabilities. With the Karma Sutra, you can create a plethora of harmonic distortion responses from heavily saturated fuzz tones, big and open overdrive, to a sparkling boost.
