Air Fuzz is a dynamic sound-effect to make bass-parts sound more 'dry' and 'airy' (See demo-video at bottom).
If you have ever stood in front of a sub-woofer playing at loud volume, you may have felt the sensation of air being pushed/pulled around you.

Air Fuzz is designed to create a somewhat similar sensation in the audio-realm.
Deep frequencies, such as bass and kick-drums (Perhaps especially '808' kicks), can get a lovely raspy sound when using Air Fuzz at moderate levels.
It requires some 'input-gain trim' attention when you first load it onto your audio-chain, as even small trim-changes can change the sound-effect quite dramatically.
It's supposed to be a subtle sound-effect, and may sound bad if you push it too hot (Good headphones or monitors are recommended when adjusting the input-gain trim, so you clearly hear where the sweet-spot is on your material).
It does not work equally well on all audio-material, but can even be used on busses and master-tracks for some types of music:
