Chase Tone Silver Stardust Fuzz BC183 Transistors 2000's - Silver Star Dust Original

~ Chase Tone™ Silver Stardust™ BC183/2L Silicon Fuzz ~

“For those who desire a singing midrange, sustaining iconic 1960s to futuristic fuzz tone with germanium warmth, sustaining gain for effortless soloing, and increased output to be heard through a band mix unlike stock vintage fuzz pedals . . .”

Imagine a balance of Eric Johnson, 1968 era live Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and early Zep Jimmy Page Tonebender Fuzz; All with the twist of the external Bias Knob! Range of tones from vintage 1960s to futuristic fuzz tones! A low bias setting captures the fuzz into exploding Marshall stack sound!

-Controls-

Volume/EQ: Higher settings act like an EQ producing more treble cut.

Fuzz: Full range of travel. Backing off slightly from maximum increases feedback and guitar clean up ability; reduces bright fizzy overtones on various bias settings.

The Silver Stardust is unreal!!!! I haven’t even tried it with a Strat yet, just my Les Paul, and it has the sweetest crunch! I read a testimonial on your website about someone getting early Black Crowes tones, and it’s totally true!! The Zeppelin tones are there too, as is early Sabbath. I could even hear David Gilmour lead tones…even with my Les Paul! I will plug in the Strat tomorrow… Regards, Adam

Bias: Optimally biases the transistors for the preferred gate, feel and pick attack; go from under biased ‘rubber band’ Eric Johnson fuzz tones to punchy exploding Hendrix fuzz tones to Jimmy Page early Led Zep Tonebender-ish Crunchy Fuzzy Tones. (See below for Player’s Tips.)

Headroom: Reduce bottom end, enhance guitar volume cleanup, and reduce or eliminate wah induced oscillations (Guitar> Wah > Fuzz > Amp).

-Bias Settings-

7 o’clock through 9 o’clock = MKI Tonebender: Gated, singing fuzz tone that’s usable and versatile; melting Marshall stack.

10 o’clock through 11 o’clock = Eric Johnson ‘Rubber Band’ thick lead and rhythm fuzz tone.

12 o’clock through 1 o’clock = Jimi Hendrix sustaining, exploding 1967-1968 era Fuzz Face tone.

2 o’clock through 3 o’clock = MKII Tonebender: Jimmy Page Whole Lotta Riff Rock.

No box or papers, just the pedal. Does have some scuffs, so you actually won't feel bad using it instead of putting it on a shelf
