This circuit was designed by Roger Mayer in 1967 and used by Jimi Hendrix on Axis: Bold as Love, and it was designed to be an improvement over the fuzz face as it is temperature stable unlike germanium fuzzes, has more output and sustain, and is resistant to RF interference.
This pedal is much brighter and has a more mid heavy nature to it, while also simultaneously having a very clear bass presence.
Made with quality, premium components you can be sure that you will have the best fuzz tone imaginable.
Hendrix is one of the biggest reasons I started pursuing music as a career. These pedals are all treated with the special stardust Hendrix came from and are my tribute and homage to him.
VARIANTS
Low gain- utilizes lower gain transistors that result in a much smoother, less compressed fuzz at max settings, with a bit of a more natural sound. both variants have good cleanup, but low gain version is a touch cleaner at high fuzz settings.
High gain- utilizes higher gain transistors that push the circuit into that really nice bloom/compression to pick attack they gorgeous flowering decay that many people crave in a fuzz.
COLORS-
Please note that the raw aluminum finish option is built fresh to order, and may feature different components as I use what I have in stock and each build uses hand selected components.
The circuit will be built in a raw aluminum case with no paint, but will get lightly sand polished.
It may take up to 10 days for me to build the pedal, but typically it will be anywhere from 3-5 days.
