This might be a small pedal, but the tone is massive.
The FUZZ 149 is actually a fuzztortion pedal. Super high gain via a single silicon transistor with diode clipping. The pedal is housed in a small enclosure to make it very pedal board friendly. It's not subtle and likes to be played flat out but be careful the single volume knob really packs a punch.
the FUZZ 149 is powered via 9V negative centre pin mains power only. Not supplied.
We use industry standard through hole components and make each pedal totally by hand on vero board. Absolute analog all the way.
Your pedal is true bypass as well
Features

This is just a small selection of the instruments we have to offer. We offer a great range of instruments tailored to budget and to playing needs. Fretless and fretted instruments can all be played comfortably with a slide.

You will need a slide to play this guitar.
Our Rolling Thunder, Fretless Electric Series have always been great sellers. Using a fretless guitar makes you a better slide player because there are no frets. Tuning your guitar to an open tuning such as open E EBe or open G GDg will put you into blues and rock and roll heaven. Simply put a slide on your finger and off you go.
