** THE SOUND **Setting itself apart from other fuzz effects of its era, the SÚPER Fuzz Havoc! can best be characterized as a "fuzzy boost." Being a germanium-driven unit, it's easy to clean up your tone by reducing your guitar's volume. Crank up the "Depth" control for warm yet not overpowering fuzz. Or dial down the "Depth" and use the "Volume" control to push your amp into saturation. Like the original, it operates at 3 volts, using two 1.5v batteries for power. ** CONSTRUCTION **This is a boutique effect, hand-wired point-to-point, a true and authentic recreation of the original Selmer Buzz Tone sound. It's solidly built following the techniques of the era, featuring three vintage NOS germanium transistors and utilizing top-quality components. ** SYD BARRETT AND PINK FLOYD CONNECTION **Legend has it that this is the fuzz effect used by Syd Barrett during his time with The Pink Floyd. You can hear it on "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Lucifer Sam," and when paired with a bit of delay/echo, this pedal is quite capable of recreating the characteristic acid guitar tones of songs like "See Emily Play" and "Astronomy Domine."
