“Custom Shop” Dual Germanium/Silicon Fuzz

This is a custom dual fuzz pedal with two pairs of germanium and silicon transistors for extra versatility.  Each toggle switch allows to select either a germanium or a silicon transistor, so you can have a pure germanium fuzz, pure silicon fuzz, or any combination in-between.  The pedal is fitted with an external bias knob, on top of the classic Volume and Fuzz knobs, to help compensate for the variation between the different transistors.  Additionally, a Filter control is included for controlling the circuit’s low end, adding tremendous versatility to the pedal.  Also included is a toggle switch on the back for disconnecting the internal battery without having to unplug the pedal.  The pedal is housed in a Hammond enclosure, powder-coated in a colour of choice.

Please note: these custom pedals are not available regularly, and are only built when components are available and when time allows.  Please contact us for further information on availability.
