Bigfoot Germanium Fuzz (+Buffer)
Based on our multi award-winning King Fuzz circuit, this special edition has been re-biased around a beautiful gold-pin NOS germanium transistor. This pedal captures all our hallmark tube-esque sensitivity and character, with an astoundingly wide range of tones from light saturation through to nuclear meltdown.
Unlike typical Germanium fuzz pedals, this one can be placed anywhere in the signal chain and can even be used after buffers, active pickups, and wireless systems. This unique custom fuzz also features a toggle switch for true bypass or buffered bypass operation, making it perfectly versatile for any pedalboard.
Housed in a custom retro inspired enclosure and hand finished in genuine Burgundy Mist nitrocellulose lacquer.
