R2R Electric Ge Distorter Germanium Fuzz Pedal (Pre-Owned)

The Ge Distorter is a two transistor fuzz, featuring the R2R Electric's Chris Vincent's favorite aspects of both the 1960's germanium Fuzz Face circuit and the 1960's germanium Schaller Fuzz. These two vintage fuzzes were similar in many ways, yet had very distinct tonal differences. The Ge Distorter blends them together into a unique fuzz that sounds like both and neither at the same time.

These fuzzes are extremely reactive to changes of your guitar's volume control. You can get tones ranging from crystal clean, to bright overdrive, and all the way to massive fuzz sounds all from rolling back your guitar volume.

This pedal is in Very Good Condition.

Note: Due to the design of this vintage fuzz  circuit, these pedals work best placed first in your signal chain. These units do not work well with buffers or buffered bypass pedals going into the input. This will cause the effect to sound thin with a significant volume drop.
