Caroline Guitar Company Tomato Pie Fuzz V2 ~ 2026 ~ Russo Music Exclusive, Out of Production

Up for sale is a Minty Caroline Guitar Compqny Tomato Pie Fuzz V2 pedal, as sold as a Russo Music exclusive in early 2026 to commemorate the store’s 65th anniversary. This limited run item is no longer in production, and that means these babies are incredibly hard to find in the wild On the aftermarket.

As a fan of all things Caroline Guitar Company, tI picked this up from Russo Music when it first went on sale. Since that time, it’s largely gone unused and has lived its life on a shelf in my smoke-free and pet-free home studio. Please don’t misunderstand — this is a fantastic sounding fuzz which brings a sludgier, more aggressive punch to Caroline’s Hawaiian Pizza circuit. Unfortunately, I have not been able to put it TJ use as I had originally intended, and I’d rather someone who can put it to use pick it up.

All in all, this pedal is very minty and near new. I plugged it in and messed around with the tones for a few minutes at purchase, but other than that it has been unused. This is about as close to new as you’ll find these days.

I pack all orders securely and ship them out quickly. Please buy with confidence. Thanks for checking out my listing!

Here’s some info from the good folks at Russo Music:

The Tomato Pie feast hits its second course with the Caroline Guitar Company x Russo Music Tomato Pie Fuzz V2! Originally made to commemorate Russo Music's sixty-fifth anniversary as a Central 'Jersey, family-owned company, the Tomato Pie makes a triumphant return in a new, equally-limited, and equally-exclusive special batch. Classic fuzzstortion tenets are turned on their heads for a fresh, saucy, and zesty delicacy made with love. Bon appétit!

The Caroline Guitar Company's Hawaiian Pizza Fuzz is one of the modern effect world's favorite distorted dishes. With the Tomato Pie, Russo Music has teamed up with the longstanding boutique effect builder for a tasty spin on the Hawaiian Pizza's classic fuzzstortion effect mixes. This V2 version introduces the same delectable distortion mixes as the original but with some added sawwce. New BC184 transistors fire up a beefier, more aggressive tonal profile from the previous Tomato Pie for an overall gnarlier tone with a greater output of gain over its predecessor. "2 Hot, 2 Saucy" comes across as a perfect way to describe the V2 Tomato Pie as the classic recipe you've come to know and love – just hit with a harder mix of spice and left in the oven that extra bit longer.

From this V2 version of the Tomato Pie, expect a charming mix of the top-end grind of a Fuzz Face, the searing sustain of a Tone Bender, and the woofing effervescence of a Big Muff all in one. These tones are pushed forward from the new transistors at the heart of the pedal with a three-way, highly interactive control scheme with scrumptious sweet spots sprinkled throughout. There's so many fuzzy flavors to deal out with the Tomato Pie V2, so truly, it's a dish to please every palette.

It won't be long before this kitchen is closed once more and the Tomato Pie recipe is shuffled back in the cupboard. Don't miss out on this distorted delicacy decades in the making from us and Caroline Guitar Company!
