Vitamin C Super Lucky 7

The KarDiaN Vitamin C Lucky 7 is an anniversary model that celebrates the brand's 7th anniversary! A fuzz pedal that delivers massive drive (based on the very rare V6, otherwise known as the "return of the Ram's Head"). It offers unique character and extensive controls. Big Muff fans? You're right where you belong! So how do you make a circuit that has been replicated 100s of times different and/or better? Well, it's simple, you have to do what others haven't done and do it better than them!

A quick tour of the owner, we start with the chassis. Let's make it short, it's a killer. No more, no less. The finish is magnificent, the attention to detail is rarely seen for a product of this type (a pedal), everything is handmade, it's light, super well insulated and it's classy once on the pedalboard. This limited series takes up the original colors of the V6, blue and red, a little wink.
Inside, only excellent. It's simple, it's the best and it's beautiful. Yes, it's beautiful to look at because it's so well done. 2N5088 transistor, Amtrans AMRG resistors (1% tolerance, non-magnetic, brass tips, gold-plated oxygen-free copper outputs...), WIMA and ERO coupling capacitors, top-of-the-line PCB, etc... 4 buttons: Volume, Fuzz, Treble, Bass, 9VDC power supply. Let's go!

The main difference with the majority of Muffs on the market is that the Vitamin is only slightly impacted by the use of various buffers, which, it must be admitted, are an integral part of all modern pedalboards. This is due to its design which combines JFET components and not just the 4 classic transistors found in the basic Muff. The second important thing is the appearance of a two-band EQ which allows you to sculpt the effect very precisely, which can sometimes be sorely lacking. The third thing, the crazy clean pedal! You control it masterfully with the knob and volume, it keeps the top of the spectrum intact and this is also the case by lowering the gain on the pedal, where generally most fuzzes become anemic. For the rest, you know what it is, a massive, ultra-rich Fuzz, a real wall of sound and that's why we love "the" Big Muff!
Compared to the "standard" Vitamin C version, the Lucky 7, just like the original V6, offers a different grain. It is very close to an original V3, but it offers more gain, more "overtone", more sustain. It also has a slightly more scooped EQ and a slightly darker and thicker, more fluid drive. Typically what you might hear on albums like Animals and The Wall by Pink Floyd.

If you are looking for a high quality, highly interactive and indestructible Fuzz, the KarDiaN Vitamin C Lucky 7 is a must have of its kind and it is also the only one! A must try.
