Fuzztone 69

From the vendor

Project overview

A fat and harmonic classic fuzz that cleans up like a vintage Fender amp when you turn down your guitar’s volume control.

When using it with an already distorted sound, you will immediately recognize the waves that produce: It’s Jimi Hendrix’s sound, the early David Gilmour, Eric Johnson, and many other guitar icons!

Introduction

This is the pedal we talk about when referring to THE classic fuzz. Fuzztone 69 delivers exactly the legendary Fuzzface sound with the Fulltone-typical quality and reliability of design.

Inspired by Fulltone ’69 – with roots on the all-time classic fuzz face – this germanium fuzz incorporates some handy features:

The input knob that helps to dial just the right amount of signal you want to drive into the unit – independently of how hot are your pickups – and the Contour (Bias)control to perfect the midrange, harmonics, and sustain of the effect. It includes an additional trimer to do the fine-tuning bias on the second transistors. This pedal works with NPN Germanium transistors (Q1: hFE ~70, Q2: hFE ~100), which operates with negative voltage; that’s why we included on board a voltage inverter so you can plug it into your everyday power supply simple and easy.
