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

True bypass foot switch
Alpha potentiometer
quality vintage style jacks

Every pedal is individually stamped so there will always be small variations in the art work or knobs depending on availability
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.
The ‘Juke Joint Rocker’ is our best selling CBG style ever! It’s super tough design allows it to be taken on stage and survive all the knocks and bumps that life on the road can dish out. It utilises an electric guitar pickup to provide killer tones at high volume and with loads of distortion as well.
All Birdwood Guitars are set up to provide beautiful playability and excellent intonation from the nut all the way up the neck to the bridge saddle. I am a luthier who has been working on and building electric guitars for the last 14 years. My mission is to provide you with the an instrument that you won’t want to put down.

Every Juke Joint Rocker is a one of a kind creation and as such there may be slight differences between each guitar built depending on hardware availability and timber used.
These guitars are made to order. There is an approximate 6 week build time. Just like any quality instrument, these take time to build. Different things can impact build time, demand, the weather and attention to detail. However, you WILL receive an instrument that you will love. That is my promise!
