Daredevil releases Ten Tone Anniversary Fuzz for tenth anniversary

June 1, 2023 · 2 sources

Daredevil has announced the Ten Tone Anniversary Fuzz, a one-knob silicon fuzz handbuilt in Chicago, marking ten years since the company's founding¹². The pedal was originally intended for release in 2022; Daredevil says the project took over a year to reach production because of the process of building the wedge enclosures¹.

The circuit uses individually tested silicon transistors and what Daredevil calls unique asymmetrical clipping, all hand wired¹². The company describes the sound as "a slightly gated fuzz tone" that is "big and aggressive," cuts through, sustains into feedback and can grind¹. Delicious Audio describes it as "a one-knob fuzz with a rich and complex tone" voiced after 1960s fuzz pedals, with a range from crunchy to huge².

A single volume knob controls the pedal; Daredevil says the fuzz is dialed in on each unit and biased according to a 9V DC supply¹. The aluminum enclosure was custom built by Hammond exclusively for Daredevil¹². It runs on a 9V battery or DC power source with a negative center pin and a 100mA minimum draw, and has true bypass switching¹. Delicious Audio lists a 2-year warranty²; the Daredevil page does not mention a warranty¹.

The Ten Tone Anniversary Fuzz is listed at $195.00¹. Daredevil's page shows an add-to-cart option¹; Delicious Audio published its item on June 1, 2023². It is a fuzz pedal.
