FM-2 FUZZ MASTER Professional (Dead Stock)

Released around the late 1960s, this radical octave fuzz lets you switch between a bass-heavy, punchy tone and a slightly quirky sound with emphasized high-mids via the tone selector! Deadstock item!!

Controls include a "VOLUME" knob that doubles as the power switch, a "FUZZ ADJ." knob for adjusting the distortion, a tone selector footswitch, and a bypass footswitch. Even at the minimum setting, the "FUZZ ADJ." provides significant distortion. As you turn it up, the distortion increases while harmonics emerge.The classic Japanese fuzz character—that distinctive "beep-beep, zzzz" distortion—is enhanced with a melancholic upper octave, creating a lustrous, deep sound. When playing chords, the sound tends to get a bit squashed, but this results in an incredibly powerful, bold sound that really asserts itself. The punchy, metallic sound, switchable via the tone selector, delivers an astonishing metallic feel. The sound quality is superb on this unit, truly a legendary Japanese fuzz masterpiece!

This unit is actually a deadstock item from over 50 years ago, unearthed from a music store warehouse in Jakarta, Indonesia! While the finish shows some slight dullness, the control plate is shiny. It has some wear and tear, but it comes with the valuable original box, manual, and cable.
