Fuzz Factory 7
A hand-painted Fuzz Factory variant built around NOS 1960s germanium transistors with a nine-position rotary switch for a much wider tonal range.
About this pedal
Swaps in a nine-position rotary switch (in place of the standard toggle) and a pair of hand-selected vintage germanium transistors to cover more sonic ground than the original Fuzz Factory, from deep low-end growl to high, dog-whistle-register fuzz, plus a passive tone control to tame the top end. Hand-painted finish.
