Our Germanium Fuzz is a classic fuzz pedal reminiscent of those made in the 1960s. The pedal produces very desirable fuzz tones with all the nuances that germanium transistors are known for. The circuit interacts very well with the guitar’s volume pot, and goes from a cleanish tone (depending on the selected transistors) to full blown disctortion just by working your guitar volume.
We have sourced an amazing stock of rare and highly sought after NOS components; some amazing NOS Philips capacitors, NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, and an array of top grade NOS Mullard and Newmarket germanium transistors. Our Germanium Fuzz takes you ever so close to the mojo of vintage units.
We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals together. Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise. The circuit is also housed in a high quality aluminium enclosure, professionally powder coated to our exact specification.
Please note: the product’s image shows some of the optional features, which won’t be included unless these are purchased with the pedal. Also, please refer to the “Options Explained” section to see the selection of enclosure colours we stock.
The price displayed is the pedal’s base price. This doesn’t include transistor upgrades and other options.
Specifications:
- High quality aluminium enclosure, professionally powder coated in Blue Hammerite finish. These are very durable and absolutely gorgeous enclosures.
- Hand-selected NOS germanium transistors. We can fit these pedals with the following NOS transistors:
- Newmarket CV7005 (Q1) and Mullard OC42 (Q2). Excellent transistors in this circuit; warm and very classy with excellent cleanup.
- NKT275 are excellent and very articulate transistors with good cleanup. Please note that these are NOS but are of the skinny case type. We have a small, hand selected, quantity of these in stock.
- NOS Philips moulded metallised polyester capacitors “Mepolesco” type. These are the exact same ones used in the original Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face.
- Philips electrolytic capacitors.
- NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors.
