Up for sale a Monolith Fuzz Sleeping Sun in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The Sleeping Sun is an original 3-transistor germanium fuzz with a footswitchable octave. This early "large box" version features distinctive etched graphics over a red hammerite-finished enclosure with clear skirt witch hat knobs.

Designed as a slightly gated, sputtery, psychedelic-themed fuzz which focused on the raspy tones heard on mid 1960s garage & psych recordings, the Sleeping Sun also incorporates a small output transformer in order to capture some of the saturation and unique characteristics of a tube amp's output transformer. The SS has plenty of thick sustain on tap, and rolling back the Fuzz pot achieves a more traditional ragged & slightly gated fuzz.

The Balance pot is an incredibly wide-ranging tone control which drastically alters the character of the pedal. Sounds range from fat & wooly with infinite sustain and a dark top end to a midrange focused, nasal buzzbomb with tons of sting. Useful tones are found throughout, with high settings really accentuating the ring & cut of the Octave function.
