Bulgarian Fuzz

From the vendor

Project overview

Originally from a Bulgarian electronics magazine from the 80s and never produced as far as we know. This circuit needed a lot of rework and experimentation. The end result: a great touch sensitive unique mellow-sounding Germanium fuzz.

Introduction

Looking for something different in a fuzz pedal? Check out the Bulgarian Fuzz – it’s only available at our store!

The original schematic comes from a Bulgarian electronics magazine from the 80s, and there is no record of a pedal after it.

We had to do some deep work over the original source—Readapting and modernizing the schematic without losing the soul of its roots took us some fair struggle, but it was worth it! The final result is a distinctive two-mode old-school germanium fuzz with harmonics compensation.

With its unique tone, this pedal is sure to stand out from the crowd. If you’re looking for something vintage and special, Bulgarian Fuzz is the perfect build for you.
