Fulltone 70s Fuzz Pedal
NEW! 2/1/2011. I recently found/bought a couple thouusand excellent BC108C transistors, so am happy to announce the return of the 70 pedal...this time, in a small (OCD-sized) housing. These transistors sound outrageous! This model 70-BC still have the secret-weapon "Mid" knob which will allow you to do something other Fuzzfaces won't let you do....be heard in the mix ;)
want one NOW really cheap and don't mind a slight finish flaw? Immediate shipping? click here to see how
Every played an original FuzzFxxe from around 1970? Hint: not AT ALL the same sound as ones with the same namesake being mass-produced currently) Ours has Two intentionally mismatched (for Harmonic content) Silicon transistors that snarl and spit... not for the meek! If you put the "Fuzz" on 10 you will rip, and you might get all sorts of oscillation and weirdness...but that's Rock. Don't try using it with a wah wah...you can't, and neither could Jimi, without it screaming and howling. You want polite and quiet?...go elsewhere. You want art in a box? Come on in.
Housed in a 16 gauge steel box and Powder coated Deep Blue, this pedal is a bit unruly but with some warmth... ideal for older 4 input Marshall amps, it has much more FUZZ than the '69 Pedal and includes a Mid control for extra clarity and cut.
I got my hands on Eric Johnson's Blue Fuzzface that he used from "Tones" through "Ah Via Musicom" period (now owned by Ian Moore) and incorporated a few of its tonal secrets into the '70 pedal with staggering sonic results!
Specifications subject to change at any given moment due to parts availability and due to whimsy.

Fulltone 70s Fuzz PedalFeatures FULLTONE ´70 Pedal Fuzz:
Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Nachbau des Dallas-Arbeiter Fuzz Face, das ab etwa 1970 mit Siliciumtransitoren (Typ:BC-183L) gebaut wurde. Damit fällt der Fuzz Sound gleich härter und schneidender aus, die Germanium-Variante klingt eindeutig wärmer und mittenbetonter. Als Hörbeispiel sei Jimi Hendrix Live Album "Band of Gypies" empfohlen. Die jetzt vorliegende Version entstand, nachdem Michael Fuller das blaue Fuzz Face von Eric Johnson, welches er auf den Alben "Tones und A Via Musicom" verwendete, einige Zeit in seiner Werkstatt hatte und nach gründlicher Analyse einige schaltungstechnische Besonderheiten übernehmen konnte. Ein neues Trimpoti im Inneren regelt nun zusätzlich den Bass-Bereich. |
