Colorsound Wow Fuzz (D*A*M/Castledine Reissue)
The Colorsound Wow Fuzz is a true blast from the past, resurrecting the iconic tone of a classic 1970s funk and rock staple. This reissue from Castledine Electronics captures the essence of the original Colorsound Fuzz-Wah, blending a smooth, mellow fuzz with the legendary Colorsound wah-wah circuit. At the heart of this pedal lies the authentic two-transistor silicon distortion stage, delivering that rich, saturated fuzz tone that defined an era. But the real magic happens when you engage the Colorsound wah, which uses a custom-wound vintage-spec inductor to recreate the iconic "wow" effect. The sweeping, high-flying frequencies and thunderous low-mids make this wah a force to be reckoned with, perfect for laying down those funky rhythm parts or unleashing scorching lead lines. What sets this reissue apart is the attention to detail. From the pressed steel enclosure, painstakingly recreated to match the original, to the custom-built circuit board and hand-selected components, every aspect of the Wow Fuzz has been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the vintage original. Even the treadle action has been refined, offering a smooth, precise sweep without the dreaded "flappy" feel of some vintage units. Whether you're a seasoned player looking to recapture the glory days of 70s funk and rock, or a newcomer seeking that elusive vintage tone, the Colorsound Wow Fuzz is a must-have addition to any guitarist's arsenal. Prepare to be transported back in time, with all the color and character of the original, but with modern playability and reliability. This is the real deal, folks.
