Mojo Hand FX revives Crosstown Hybrid Fuzz in Classic and Rasta editions
September 23, 2026 · 2 sources
Mojo Hand FX has revived the Crosstown Hybrid 2-Transistor Fuzz in Classic and Rasta Editions, both listed at $179 and available through the Mojo Hand FX Webstore1. The maker says the pedal returns after two years off: "After two long years of no Crosstown, we are finally bringing it back. The first batch is the 4/20 Rasta edition"2.
The pedal is a hybrid fuzz built around one germanium and one silicon transistor1. Mojo Hand FX describes it as "a germanium/silicon hybrid Fuzz F@ce circuit"2. Guitar Pedal X reports that earlier versions used a Ge AC187 and a Si BC109, that the AC187s ran out because they are long discontinued and in short supply, and that finding a suitable germanium replacement reportedly took two years; the maker has not disclosed the replacement1.
Controls are Tone, Gain, Body and Vol, plus an internal bias trim pot2. The maker lists the functions as follows2:
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| Tone | Output treble |
| Gain | Amount of fuzz and grit |
| Body | Adjusts low end before fuzz stage |
| Vol | Output level |
| Bias (internal) | Trim pot adjusts fuzz character from smoother to splatty |
The maker states the pedal is true bypass, runs on a standard center negative 9V DC supply or 9V battery (neither included), draws about 65mA, and measures 4.8" L x 2.62" W x 1.55" H2. Mojo Hand FX also claims extremely low noise operation and says the internal bias control lets players adjust gain structure "without having to worry about stability issues such as overheating"2.
"Our hand-picked combination of germanium and silicon transistors coupled with an internal bias control gives you the option to tailor the Crosstown's gain structure to your personal taste without having to worry about stability issues such as overheating."
Guitar Pedal X describes the circuit as an expanded Fuzz Face with four controls in place of the classic two, and calls the Body control useful for players who dislike the low end of some Fuzz Face circuits1. The same report notes the two editions differ mainly in finish, mostly orange for the Classic and mostly green for the Rasta1.
