** THE SOUND ** From a creamy crunch to a beastly fuzz. The Fuzz pedal delivers the distinctive distortion and vintage tone reminiscent of the 1960s music era. Equipped with NOS AC128/NKT275 germanium transistors, it offers warm saturation and remarkable sustain. From gentle tones to energetic solos, it faithfully captures the sound that left an indelible mark on Jimi Hendrix's music. This pedal is initially tuned according to Roger Mayer's original parameters for Hendrix and further refined through sound testing with instruments and amplifiers from the 1960s (see pictures). This ensures authenticity and tonal fidelity. Additionally, the trimmers allow you to adjust the transistor bias to achieve the perfect polarization based on the gain of the germanium transistor used, providing unparalleled flexibility in your quest for the ideal sound. ** CONSTRUCTION ** Each unit is meticulously handcrafted, adhering strictly to the original techniques of the 1960s. The NOS AC128/NKT275 germanium transistors play a crucial role in preserving sound authenticity and quality. Furthermore, these transistors are mounted on sockets, facilitating easy replacement so you can experiment with other transistors, values and sounds. The two trimmers included enable precise voltage and bias adjustments, tailoring the pedal's performance to suit the musician's preferences. ** ROGER MAYER AND JIMI HENDRIX CONNECTION ** Our Fuzz pedal pays homage to the historic collaboration between Roger Mayer and Jimi Hendrix. Mayer modified the original Fuzz Face for Jimi, which became an iconic element of Hendrix's sound. This pedal offers musicians a unique opportunity to connect with Hendrix's musical legacy through 1960s-era technology. Our pedals are handcrafted in Madrid using the closest possible techniques to those used in original pedals from the 60s. This is a vintage germanium fuzz pedal that we handmade and ship worldwide.
