Germanium Fat Fuzz Factory Clone Guitar Bass Effect Pedal by Big Jon Electronics

Description

Big Jon Electronics
Fat Fuzz Factory
Clone
The Fat Fuzz Factory offers a fresh take on one of the most well-loved modern guitar-mangling boxes out there, and this guy is an accurate clone of the original, with
Volume, Gate, Compression, Drive,
and
Stability
controls, in that order, as well as a 3-way low-frequency-altering mini-switch. This modification improves usability with bass guitars and synthesizers while also offering new ways of shaping the Fuzz Factory's characteristic zipper-fuzz and self-oscillating tones.
As with our "non-
Fat" Fuzz Factories, each pedal is point-to-point
handwired
and
hand-assembled
with carefully-selected parts. We select Germanium transistors for these that have enough gain on tap to drive the pedal into self-oscillating madness; this will be the one pedal where you
don't
just crank all the knobs to 11 and leave em'. 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...including some rampant, cascading waterfalls of
fuzz
. The new sub-bass switch introduced on the
Fat
Fuzz Factory takes this to another level, allowing for more low-frequency self-oscillation options that take this beast to a new level of insanity.
While it's known to make some out-of-control gnarly sounds, the Fuzz Factory is also quite capable of making some milder melodic sounds as well - the pedal's wide breadth of controllable options means that it can really span the gap from *mild* to *wild*. Unlike many other fuzzes (Superfuzz, Big Muff, and on down), 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.
As stated above, there's no finish on this guy - just some black knobs to control it and a blue LED to let you know if it's on or not (though, trust me, you'll know when it's on). Modern conveniences like true-bypass switching, reverse-polarity protection, 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! Big Jon Electronics pedals have not been sold new on eBay (until now!), but we've accumulated over 100 perfect five-star ratings on Reverb, and we pride ourselves on great customer service.
Thanks for looking and
long live the fuzz!
