April 28, 2024 · 1 sources

GUP Tech dated the new finish to April 28, 2024, writing on the product page: "2024-04-28 : New sparkling douche edition of our Phoque Face!"¹

The fuzz pedal is the maker's "modern version of the SunFace/Fuzz Face," built around PNP germanium transistors with internal and external bias controls and a clean blend¹. GUP Tech calls it "a pure classic fuzz tone" and "simple and gritty, exactly how we like them"¹.

Specifications as listed by the maker:

GUP Tech warns that "anything higher will blow some stuff" above 9Vdc¹. The page lists the pedal as sold out, with a price shown in pounds sterling rather than US dollars¹. The maker states that all its pedals are built by the company in Saguenay, Québec, Canada¹.

The page also notes a March 7, 2021 update offering the same circuit with a Green Ringer added, sold as the PhoqueR¹. Two customer reviews are posted on the page; one calls the pedal "the most cost effective" fuzz on the reviewer's board, and another says the internal trim pots allow fine tuning of the fuzz tone¹.
