M2 Labs’ Fuzzocalypse pairs a two-transistor silicon fuzz with Chaos Mode and a backlit gauge

M2 Labs’ Fuzzocalypse Analog Chaos Injector is a hand-built two-transistor silicon fuzz that stretches beyond a conventional three-knob box. Its core uses hand-matched new-old-stock Philips silicon transistors, with no clipping diodes and no digital processing, while Fuzz, Tone and Level provide the main voice. A separate Chaos Mode adds much more gain, a brighter upper-mid voice and a big jump in volume, and a backlit roentgen gauge on the front panel shows where the Fuzz knob is set.

The official store currently lists the pedal at $350.00 and in stock, with a regulated 9V power supply in the box. M2 Labs describes the range as running from vintage fuzz tones and controlled sustain to much more broken-up sounds, and says the Fuzz control works the transistor pair directly, so the pedal cleans up from the guitar’s volume knob. Like the Bomber, it is built in batches of ten, with roughly three to four weeks for each run. The company also includes its transferable lifetime warranty and 30-day return policy.

Pedal of the Day’s July 2026 review adds useful circuit context: the fuzz path is a true two-transistor silicon design without clipping diodes or digital processing, followed by a low-noise recovery stage and an active tone circuit running from internally boosted rails.

The Fuzzocalypse is most relevant to players who want a traditional volume-responsive fuzz foundation but also need a controlled route into harsher textures. M2 Labs says the roentgen gauge follows the Fuzz knob rather than reacting to playing, and advises turning Level down before switching Chaos Mode on because of the volume jump. With the tone and level controls, the pedal stays usable as part of a broader pedalboard rather than only as a special effect.
