Gold Bender

Gold and Germanium, probably my two favorite elements in nature!!!!! This is the closest you can get to those woolly bender fuzz tones. It screams. It is dynamic and thick with the right balance. An attack knob, a volume knob and a gold bias knob. Does a man need anything more? You can dial in some very classic tones. This Fuzz is a beast. It will stand out in the mix and will cut through easily. Nonetheless, it will give you a very authentic golden era rock sound. You know it, everyone used one back in the day. With players today making a huge return to these things. What can i say? You stomp on it and it takes you to another time!!! My pursuit was to have a wide array of tones by using the bias knob [the Gold knob on the side]. From Ultra saturated tones to standard Woolly/fat tone bender tones to splatty/open fuzz on the other end. A really wide pallet of tones a huge usable spectrum of fuzz, to the point of option paralysis!!! Not only that but with the ability to clean up, almost like a fuzz face with the roll of your guitars volume knob. It is constructed on two NOS USSR Bakelite strip boards. All the right components in the right place!!! Honest design and construction!!! For me, it is very important that a germanium fuzz cleans up great with the volume knob of the guitar. We have achieved that and besides the spectacular fuzz tones the clean tones add a whole world of tones to that. All the sustain will ring even with the cleanup. From sparkly clean to overdriven up to full-blown fuzzy goodness!!!! It is positive ground. It runs with a 9v battery [battery clip inside] and you can power it with any standard [boss type] 9volt adapter. Also if you are familiar with those type of classic circuits, you must know that these are unbuffered and need to be placed first in your signal chain. The pedal is covered with gold [not real gold] leaf [no it is not paint] the same technique they use in Byzantine icon making. It gives it a very unique look. A deep and multidimensional look!!!! The gold is protected with a layer of gloss clear coat. --Bad Pixel has no affiliation with any other brand or company--
