I shared this patch with the world only last week. I often do that as it's good to give to the community and kind of therapeutic for me when I'm creating them. But this week the new Axe presets were released for Firmware 28.03 and this one along with a couple of more of mine are burned into it. That's quite an honour for me considering the famous names that appear in this 384-strong bunch of presets as well. Anyway, this one, "Brett's AC20" is number 130 and this little jam (mistakes and all) is the sort of thing I was thinking of when I wrote it. It's 8 Scenes and a bunch of satellite effects that you can switch in/out with each Scene. They're all based on the mighty but petite Morgan AC20, which is a very cool twist on the classic AC30. You can see (and hear) the Scene changes in the editor window as I'm playing. I've kept the amp block window open so you can see the various AC20 permutation changes as I go. I think my favourite bits of this patch are the panning delay which I tend to ride a fair bit, and the fuzz face model. Thanks for watching.

![CRAFTROS: SPIRITUS FUZZ - No-Chat Jamcut Demo
https://craftros.com/en/products/spiritus
When I moved house a year or so ago and then got stuck into extensive renovations in this new place, a bunch of stuff that was already overdue for demonstration got shelved and lost in the chaos, much of which Im just starting to unearth now. So firstly an apology to those builders who got left by the wayside but I am going to to get through the lot, albeit a little (or a lot) late. This is the Spiritus Fuzz by Japanese company, Craftros. I dont know much about it or them except that its built and presented way above normal standards and it sounds great - kind of a mix between a fuzz face and muff, I guess.
Its probably better described by the guys who built it so heres the blurb from the website:
This fuzz pedal has a stable usability with an outstanding overdrive.
Its sharpness has a moderate mellowness, and it is balanced with a broad coverage, from playing the guitar as the main focus, to band ensembles.
For the tone control in the 12 o’clock position, the active EQ is flat, and with some excellent adjustment to the circuit, we concentrated on intuitively drawing out the wanted sound while making use of the entire rotational range.
Spiritus provide trackability for the guitar volume and also a one knob EQ that will not fail no matter what position it is in so it won’t get too muffled even when turned down, and it won’t sound weak even with turned up settings.
Elaborate circuit design and high quality parts produce low noise.
• Original designed machined aluminum enclosure
• True Bypass
• Controls : Fuzz, Tone, Volume
• Terminals : 1/4″ phone jacks
• Current consumption : approx. 18mA
• Power supply : 9 volt battery [006P], AC adapter
• Dimensions : approx. W78mm x D124mm x H66mm [incl. protuberances like knobs, switches, jacks, etc.]
• Weight : approx. 1lb
