The Daredevil Shrineburner Fuzz Ltd Ed. Green is a limited edition version of the Shrineburner, a fuzz pedal hand drilled, wired, and built in Chicago. The green edition is signed and numbered, with a limited quantity available, and carries a list price of $169.00 USD as of October 20261. As of that date it is listed as sold out on the maker's own page1.
The circuit and where it came from
The Shrineburner's designer, J, explains on the product page that he designed two circuits in 2017 for a very well known pedal company in New York City, and that these were loosely based around that company's earliest releases, the "triangle" era1. The Shrineburner is not a copy of those pedals, though. In his words:
"This is an original take on this style of schematic, as i wanted to focus on the aspects of these that are great"
The page's description of the design intent is that it solves issues inherent to the stock designs of that time period rather than reproducing them1.
What is inside and what it does
The Shrineburner is loaded with silicon clipping diodes and NOS transistors, built with through hole components1. Daredevil describes the sound as follows: the gain is ferocious, the low end is huge but well balanced with the rest of the EQ response, the muddiness has been resolved, and there is tons of sustain and upper midrange cut1. That is the maker's own description, so treat it as such, but it gives a picture of a fuzz voiced for sustain and cut through a mix rather than the loose low end some vintage style fuzzes are known for.
For more on how fuzzes like this sit on a board, see the site's Fuzz Pedals page, or compare with other Daredevil fuzzes such as the Daredevil Northern Creeper Fuzz, the Daredevil Real Cool Fuzz, and the Daredevil Ten Tone Anniversary Fuzz.
The green edition artwork
The artwork and concept for the green edition was developed with Chicago artist, musician, and tattooer Peter Norman1. Each pedal is signed and numbered, which is what marks this run apart from a standard production pedal1.
The Limited Edition green Shrineburner is sold out as of 26 October 2026, according to Daredevil Pedals' product page1.
Power and practical details
The pedal is true bypass and takes 9VDC or a battery1. Daredevil includes a 2 year warranty on parts and performance1. A demo video by CJ Johnson, shot at the Attic Studios, is linked from the maker's product page1.

Questions
Is the Daredevil Shrineburner Fuzz still available?
The Limited Edition green version is listed as sold out on Daredevil Pedals' own product page as of October 2026. Because it was a limited, signed and numbered run with a limited quantity available, it is not a pedal you can expect to find new from the maker. Used examples may surface from time to time through resale channels.
Who designed the Shrineburner circuit?
The circuit was designed in 2017 by J, the writer of the Daredevil Pedals product page, who states he designed two circuits that year for a very well known pedal company in New York City. The Shrineburner is loosely based on that company's earliest releases, the so-called triangle era, but reworked as an original design.
Does the Shrineburner use silicon or germanium parts?
The Shrineburner uses silicon clipping diodes and NOS transistors, built with through hole components. So the clipping is silicon rather than germanium, though the transistors are new old stock parts.
Is the Shrineburner a copy of an older fuzz?
No. Daredevil describes it as an original take on that style of schematic, focusing on the aspects of the old designs that are great while solving issues inherent to the stock designs of that time period. It is not a copy or clone.
Does the Shrineburner take a battery?
Yes. Daredevil lists the pedal as true bypass and able to run on 9VDC or a battery.
What warranty does the Shrineburner come with?
Daredevil Pedals includes a 2 year warranty on parts and performance with the Shrineburner.
