Gold and Germanium, probably my two favorite elements in nature!!!!!
This
is the closest you can get to those woolly bender fuzz tones. It
screams. It is dynamic and thick with the right balance. An attack knob,
a volume knob and a gold bias knob. Does a man need anything more? You
can dial in some very classic tones. This Fuzz is a beast. It will stand
out in the mix and will cut through easily. Nonetheless it will give
you a very authentic golden era rock sound. You know it, everyone used
one back in the day. With players today making a huge return to these
things. What can i say? You stomp on it and it takes you to another
time!!!
My pursuit was to have three distinct tones by using the
bias knob [the Gold knob on the side]. From Velcro cut of [almost stuttery]
tones to standard Woolly/fat tone bender tones to splatty/open fuzz on
the other end. A really wide pallet of tones a huge usable spectrum of
fuzz, to the point of option paralysis!!! Not only that but with the
ability to clean up, almost like a fuzz face with the roll of your
guitars volume knob.
It is constructed on two NOS USSR Bakelite
strip boards. All the right components in the right place!!! Honest
design and construction!!! A treat to the ear and the eye. For me it is very important that a
germanium fuzz cleans up great with the volume knob of the guitar. We
have achieved that and besides the spectacular fuzz tones the clean
tones add a whole world of tones to that. All the sustain will ring
even with the cleanup. From sparkly clean to over driven up to full
blown fuzzy goodness!!!!
It is positive ground. It runs with a 9v
battery [battery clip inside] and you can power it with any standard
negative tip [boss type] 9volt adapter. Also if you are familiar with those type of
classic circuits, you must know that these are unbuffered and need to be
placed first in your signal chain.
The pedal is covered with
gold [not real gold] leaf [no it is not paint] the same technique they
use in byzantine icon making. It gives it a very unique look. A deep and
multidimensional look!!!! The gold is protected with layers of gloss
clear coat.
This is a fully handmade pedal that will surprise you tonally
and on terms of quality of build. Buy confidently, we have only thriving
reviews from out customers. We are behind our product 100%, so you do
not have to worry at all.
