Maxon Fuzz Elements Wind

Amptweaker’s TightFuzz Jr is a versatile fuzz pedal with a Tight attack switch and Silicon/Germanium transistor switch for different gain and tone. It has Fuzz, Volume, and Tone controls which automatically adjust bias for cleaner tones. The EQ switch offers three settings: 60’s, 70’s, and the “Now,” which is dialed in for newer fuzz tones. Other features include 9-18VDC operation, true bypass switching, and a thumbscrew—removable bottom with special holes for tie-wrap or screw-in pedalboard attachment styles.

With the fame of its smaller footprint JR series, Amptweaker has included guitar and bass versions of its Fuzz pedals, launching the BluesFuzz JR. These pedals boast most of the tone-tweaking features found on their bigger counterparts, while eradicating battery switches, lit controls, effects loops, and boost features that are unnecessary to some players to shrink the size and weight. The BluesFuzz JR Effects Pedal contains Fuzz, Tone, and Volume control, which automatically changes bias for more exquisite clean tones. Its Fat/Normal/Tight switch lets you adjust your guitar’s attack.

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.
