Zoot Horn Rollo / Captain Beefheart / Frank Zappa 1968-69 Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face

We are Eclectic Sounds / aka: eclsounds - a store front in Portland, Or. We are open 7 days a week from 11 - 5 PST (by appointment)

Here is a historic piece of guitar gear. Owned and used by Zoot Horn Rollo throughout his tenure with Captain Beefheart and modded by Zappa's tech in the late 1960's. The mod may be one of the first ever done on a fuzz face. If the knob is full counter clockwise and off - the fuzz face functions as normal. When turned, the tone goes to complete sputtery and gated in the max position. The pedal is functioning great and is missing its back plate. The silicon transistors are stamped IFK BC 108 C This pedal comes from a musician whom has worked and recorded with Zoot aka Bill Harkleroad in various projects. Bill gave him the fuzz face in the mid 1980's.  

( Due to people taking advantage of eBay / Reverb return policies; wanting to “try out and/or pilfer parts”  we can no longer take returns on used gear unless it arrives damaged. Sorry for this inconvenience. We test and guarantee all gear to be 100% working unless stated otherwise )
