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

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.
Our LIGHTNING BOY SERIES cigar box guitars are built using genuine cigar boxes and a range of reclaimed and repurposed Timbers. We have chosen a beautiful, hand made, Gittybucker, handmade pickup made in the USA. Add jumbo frets and you’ve got a great blues and rock n roll machine.

You will need a slide to play this guitar.
This awesome electric guitar is based on a 1982ish Ibanez guitar that I had in the old Katoomba store a few years ago. It’s a full sized instrument and I had a 25.5 inch scale length similar to a strat.
Playability is awesome due to the low action which means no sore fingers and while it’s comfortable to play finger style, it’s also great for slide.
Powered by a wax potted, full sized humbucker matched to a volume and tone control.
