Fortin Zuul Gate/Suppressor Clone (157th pedal built)

 My “Fortin Zuul” clone (157th pedal built), with some modifications.

I used teflon coated silver plated wires, quality components, etc. Quality soldering with Kester EU eutectic 63/37 solder.


You can consider this a Zuul+ variant of sorts, I added some modifications to the usual Zuul (added Shift and Range knobs) and an added switchable Klon buffer on the Key In&Through (helps a lot with the tone when using the pedal with the Keys). Because it has this and both keys, you don't need an additional splitter box!


It also has a ground lift switch on the Keys and the Range switch is there as well to provide more aggressive gating if needed, activating the Range pot.

Has the same function as well for the LED to be Green when not gating and Red when gating. Fine tuning is possible with the additional knobs. This pedal is actually the noise suppressor/gate from the Marshall JCM800 Kerry King head in a pedal.
