Vintage Component Germanium Fuzz
Very Unique Fuzz! Allen-Bradley potentiometers, big fat capacitors, OC76 transistor and a random unknown transistor pulled from some vintage audio equipment. Plus a retro indicator lamp!
The unknown transistor gives this fuzz a unique bite. Best used with a buffered circuit before it in the signal chain (like a boss tuner).
Most components and wires salvaged from 50’s and 60’s tube radios. Let the vintage transistors, capacitors, and resistors massage your tone into a more classic vibe. Check out the video to see exactly what it sounds like.
None of my homemade pedals are battery powered. Always use center negative plug and isolated power supply. Never daisy chain power with other pedals. These vintage circuits (most famously, the fuzz face and rangemaster treble booster) use the positive side of the power supply for ground rather than the negative (like most modern pedals). Using pedals with negative ground on the same power supply as pedals with positive ground will cause most pedals to stop working and sometimes cause damage.
