FUZZ ACE

Experience the rich, vintage grit of the legendary germanium fuzz with this meticulously crafted pedal, inspired by the Analog Man Sun Face and the classic Fuzz Face circuit. Hand-built with care in Queensland, Australia, this pedal delivers that coveted warm, blooming fuzz tone that defined a generation of rock music.

Unlock a spectrum of vintage fuzz flavours, from smooth, singing sustain to thick, spluttery overdrive, all with the organic character that only germanium transistors can provide. The added versatility of external and internal controls allows you to fine-tune your fuzz to perfection.

Key Features:

• Classic Germanium Fuzz Circuit: Faithfully recreates the iconic tones of the original germanium Fuzz Face, known for its touch-sensitive response and warm harmonic richness.
• Premium Components: Built with selected components to capture the authentic vintage character of the circuit.
• Intuitive Controls:
• • Fuzz: Adjusts the intensity and thickness of the fuzz effect.
  • Volume: Controls the overall output level of the pedal.
  • Sun Dial (External Bias): A crucial external control that allows you to fine-tune the bias of the germanium transistors on the fly. This dramatically alters the fuzz character, taking you from smooth sustain to gated, sputtering textures.
• Internal “Clean” Trim Pot: This internal trimmer lets you adjust how the fuzz cleans up as you roll back your guitar’s volume, offering a wider range of dynamic tones.
• Internal Bias Trim Pot: A preset internal bias control allows for subtle adjustments to the overall character and responsiveness of the fuzz.
• Socketed Transistors for Experimentation: Transistors Q1 and Q2 are socketed, allowing you to easily swap them out for other PNP (CBE) transistors for a personalised tone to tweak the character of your fuzz. 
• NOS Germanium PNP Transistors: Featuring hand-selected, New Old Stock Germanium transistors that deliver unparalleled warmth, texture, and that unmistakable vintage fuzz feel.
• Pedalboard-Friendly Design: Housed in a compact 125B enclosure with convenient top-mounted jacks, saving valuable space on your pedalboard.
• Socketed Onboard Voltage Inverter: Runs seamlessly on a standard 9V DC pedal power supply (2.1mm centre-negative), eliminating potential grounding issues within your pedal chain.
• True Bypass: Ensures your guitar’s original signal remains pristine when the pedal is switched off.
• Handcrafted in Australia: Built with passion and precision in QLD, for exceptional tone and reliability.
• No Battery Option: Designed for use with a standard 9V DC power supply (not included), promoting eco-conscious operation.
