Members Operator Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 It is a solid as heck germanium fuzz face that I got for less than $30. It plays nice with other pedals and sounds great when you play with your amps knobs. It is bite-sized and awesome. I wanted to talk about it on the internet.

Members caeman Posted July 19, 2011 Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 It looks well-used, relic'd even. How old is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Operator Posted July 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 No idea! I think they made them in 90s. Definitely one of the more worse-for-wear specimens I've seen, but it's really solid otherwise. I wanted to put a sticker of Christina Hendricks ( ) on there, but, shockingly, I don't think they make any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to listen to videos of it on Youtube, and it sounded pretty harsh, not at all like the Classic Fuzz. Tell me more, friend-o! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Operator Posted July 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 Got to play with it a ton more last night. Super glad I got this pedal; who knew that a regular old cheap germanium fuzz face would sound so right. It's like the deep-friend eclair of pedals.

Members polytonality Posted July 21, 2011 Members Share Posted July 21, 2011 Those are nice little pedals. I used one for a long time until I got my Deep Trip Kryptone and Creamy Dreamer. I use it for bass now and it sounds great on that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
