Silicon Fuzz Factory
Clone
While normal Fuzz Factories use two Germanium transistors as their fuzz engine, some prefer the grittier sound and increased reliability of Silicon.
The Fuzz Factory is one of the most well-loved modern guitar-mangling boxes out there, and this guy is an accurate clone of the
Silicon Version
original, with the same
Volume, Gate, Compression, Drive,
and
Stability
controls, in that order, as its Germanium cousin.
Each pedal is point-to-point
handwired
and
hand-assembled
with carefully-selected parts. We select NOS Silicon transistors for these that have enough gain on tap to drive the pedal into self-oscillating madness while also maintaining some grittiness at lower levels. Optimal settings depend on taste and your guitar+pickups, but you'll certainly be able to get a multitude of different sounds out of these through experimentation...everything from
Fuzz Face
to
Ray Gun.
Unlike many other fuzzes, the Fuzz Factory is
not
particularly scooped in the mids - this means that it's quite a bit easier to cut through the mix, not to mention fewer headaches for your sound guy. There's enough amplification around to get the output up to whatever level you need it to be at, too.
There's no finish on this guy - just some black knobs to control it and a red LED to let you know if it's on or not (and to distinguish it from the Germanium versions, which use a blue LED). Modern conveniences like true-bypass switching and a Boss-style 9v power jack are there for ya as well (unfortunately, you cannot use a battery with this guy). Local pickup is often available - write us a note on here and we'll get back to you with some timing options (or the answers to any other questions you may have) as soon as possible!
Thanks for looking and
long live the fuzz!
