Vintage Mid-to-Late 1970s Craig Anderton "Octave Doubling Fuzz" (Built in Vintage EHX Bad Stone Chassis) w/ Original BoxOverviewUp for sale is an incredible piece of vintage effects history: a Craig Anderton Octave Doubling Fuzz, expertly hand-built back in the mid-to-late 1970s. This builder took a glorious, heavy-duty vintage Electro-Harmonix Bad Stone enclosure (retaining the classic, large EHX heavy-duty on/off footswitch) and completely repurposed it to house Anderton’s signature touch-responsive octave fuzz masterpiece. It even includes the original EHX cardboard box—a rare survivor that provides unmatched vintage vibe and collector value!The Layout & Control SetThe pedal features beautiful, period-correct hand-printed labels defining an expanded and highly flexible control layout.

• Three-Knob Array (Left to Right):
• • Out Level: Master output volume to push your tube amp.
  • Channel 2 Level: Controls the mix/intensity of the dynamic, octave-up clipping channel.
  • Overdrive: Adjusts the preamp grit and gain feeding into the fuzz channels.
• Three Vertical Toggle Switches:
• • Treble Cut: A crucial mod for taming harsh harmonics on bright single-coil pickups.
  • Channel 1 In/Out: Engages or bypasses the fundamental fuzz channel, allowing you to alternate between a conventional, thick fuzz, a clean octave-up tone, or a combined wall of sound.
  • Power: A dedicated hard toggle switch to prevent battery drain without unplugging your input cable.

How it Sounds

Unlike standard 70s fuzzes that compress everything into a flat brick wall, Anderton’s Octave Doubling Fuzz is completely touch-responsive. Channel 2 behaves dynamically: play softly for light harmonic enhancement, or dig in hard to make the fuzz explode. Blending Channels 1 and 2 yields a searing, screaming octave-up tone that tracks exceptionally well up past the 7th fret. It does everything from classic Hendrix style textures to deep, complex chordal saturation.Condition & Functionality

• Chassis: Good vintage condition with character-rich wear, nicks, and scratches associated with 1970s road use.
• Labels: The early hand-printed text labels are beautifully aged but perfectly legible.
• Modifications: Built as an intentional boutique project into a gutted EHX Bad Stone enclosure. The three knobs and three toggles function exactly as they should.
• Box: Includes the original vintage EHX cardboard box, showing structural shelf wear and tape, but structurally intact and rare to see.
• Operation: Tested and fully operational. Clean pots and solid mechanical switching.

This is a unique, one-of-a-kind relic of the 1970s home-brew effects revolution. Perfect for studio tracking, gigging shoe-gaze/stoner-rock boards, or collectors of oddball vintage tone machines.Shipping & Terms
