The Red Witch Valentina - The Fuzz is a limited edition fuzz pedal from the New Zealand maker's 2025 run of small batch builds. Each unit carries a different hand picked, hand tuned new-old-stock germanium transistor at the front of the circuit, and Red Witch says that as a result each Valentina has its own unique flavor of fuzz tones1. The pedal was priced at 599 USD and is now listed as Sold Out1.
The controls: Fuzz, Gate, Bias, Volume
The Valentina carries four knobs, which Red Witch lists as controls for Fuzz, Gate, Bias and Volume1. A Bias knob is a familiar feature on germanium fuzz designs, letting the player shape the transistor's operating point and, with it, the character of the fuzz; a Gate knob sets how the pedal handles decay and noise between notes.
| Control | What it is |
|---|---|
| Fuzz | Fuzz knob, the main drive control1 |
| Gate | Gate knob1 |
| Bias | Bias knob1 |
| Volume | Volume knob1 |
Build and hardware
Red Witch describes the Valentina as hand built, numbered and signed, using through hole components, and presented in a Nouveau series enclosure1. The jacks are high spec Neutrik sockets that are hand wired in, and the true bypass foot-switch is independent from the main PCB, described as super high quality and long life1. The maker guarantees the pedal to last a lifetime1.
"Each VALENTINA is hand built, numbered and signed by me, using through hole components."

Questions
Is the Red Witch Valentina true bypass?
Yes. Red Witch describes the Valentina's foot-switch as a super high quality, long life true bypass switch that is independent from the main PCB, so the pedal's circuit is taken fully out of the signal path when the effect is off.
How many Red Witch Valentina pedals were made?
Red Witch built 69 units of the Valentina. The maker stated on the product page that he was only building 69 of these pedals, and each one is hand built, numbered and signed, using through hole components.
How much did the Red Witch Valentina cost?
The Red Witch Valentina was listed at 599 USD on the maker's product page as of October 2026. Shipping was by DHL International express tracked courier, with free freight worldwide.
Is the Red Witch Valentina still available?
No. The Valentina is listed as Sold Out on the Red Witch Pedals product page. Because it was a limited edition of 69 hand built units, the maker's page is the place its status is stated.
Does the Red Witch Valentina use germanium transistors?
Yes. Each Valentina features a different hand picked, hand tuned new-old-stock germanium transistor in the front end of the circuit. Red Witch says that as a result, each Valentina has its own unique flavour of fuzz tones.
