A radical octave fuzz released around the late 1960s, featuring a tone selector that switches between a bass-heavy, punchy sound and a slightly quirky tone emphasizing the high-mids! Deadstock item!! Only a few units left.
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 minimum, the "FUZZ ADJ." provides significant distortion; turning it up increases the distortion while simultaneously bringing out harmonics.The classic Japanese fuzz sound—that distinctive "beep-beep, zzzz" distortion—is enhanced with a melancholic upper octave, creating a rich, deep, and lustrous tone. 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, is astonishing. This unit boasts an exceptional sound and is 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 minor scratches/wear, but comes with the valuable original box (slightly worn/dented), manual, and cable.
