NEW! 2/1/2011. I recently found/bought a couple
thouusand excellent BC108C transistors, so am
happy to announce the return of the 70 pedal...this
time, in a small (OCD-sized) housing. These
transistors sound outrageous! This model 70-BC
still have the secret-weapon "Mid" knob which
will allow you to do something other Fuzzfaces
won't let you do....be heard in the mix ;)
Every played an original FuzzFxxe from around
1970? Hint: not AT ALL the same sound as ones
with the same namesake being mass-produced
currently) Ours has Two intentionally mismatched (for
Harmonic content) Silicon transistors that snarl
and spit... not for the meek! If you put the "Fuzz"
on 10 you will rip, and you might get all sorts
of oscillation and weirdness...but that's Rock.
Don't try using it with a wah wah...you can't,
and neither could Jimi, without it screaming and
howling. You want polite and quiet?...go
elsewhere. You want art in a box? Come on in.
Housed in a 16 gauge steel box and Powder coated
Deep Blue, this pedal is a bit unruly but with
some warmth... ideal for older 4 input Marshall
amps, it has much more FUZZ than the '69 Pedal
and includes a Mid control for extra clarity and
cut.
I got my hands on Eric Johnson's Blue Fuzzface
that he used from "Tones" through "Ah Via
Musicom" period (now owned by Ian Moore) and
incorporated a few of its tonal secrets into the
'70 pedal with staggering sonic results!
Specifications subject to change at any given
moment due to parts availability and due to
whimsy.
