Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini Turquoise

Despite its name, the Eisenhower Fuzz guitar effect pedal from Danelectro isn’t stately and gentlemanly at all; it’s a balls-to-the-wall octave fuzz effect generator that comes at you like a sledgehammer. Extreme gain coupled with four dedicated control knobs—Volume, Fuzz, Treble, and Bass—and a Flat-Sculpt toggle switch lets you dish out everything from buzzy, old-school fuzz to massive metal tones with a tinge of atonal weirdness. This slim form stompbox doesn’t run on battery juice and needs to be connected to a compatible 9V power supply.

The Black Cat OD-1 or “Freddie Fuzz” is an original design crafted based on the innovative properties of Analog Devices’ dual operational amplifier chip, OP275. It can go from clean to moderately crunchy to full-on saturated distortion. The Black Cat OD-1 responds to your pick attack and cleans up well when you roll back the guitar volume, just like a great Fuzz Face. It has been used by the likes of Lyle Workman, Beck, Steve Lukather, Scott Henderson, Kyle Cook (Matchbox Twenty), and several others.

The Danelectro Cool Cat CF-1 Fuzz is one fuzzy, hairy crunch machine that would fit quite well on a pedalboard geared towards laying on a thick layer of dirt on a guitar signal. This budget-priced pedal serves up fuzz tones with a massive bottom end and tight crunch while letting your guitar’s original tone shine through the mix, whether you’re playing rhythm or blazing through a lead solo. The Danelectro Cool Cat CF-1 Fuzz comes with a true bypass feature.
