Reuss Repeater Fuzz MkIII

The Reuss Repeater Fuzz MkIII is a multi-effect fuzz pedal: rather than a single fuzz circuit, it gathers three effects in one enclosure. As Griffin Jennings described it in Delicious Audio's buying guide, "Included in one box are a fuzz, a treble/bass booster, and the famously choppy 'repeat percussions' tremolo circuit"¹. That makes it a hybrid of a fuzz, a boost and a tremolo, covering ground that would otherwise take three separate pedals.

The three effects it carries:

• A fuzz circuit
• A treble/bass booster
• The repeat percussions tremolo, the choppy tremolo effect from 1960s Vox guitars¹

Where the circuit comes from

The pedal is a recreation of vintage built-in guitar electronics. According to Delicious Audio, "the Repeater Fuzz accurately recreates the three built-in effects that came in a few short-lived but influential Vox guitars from the 1960s"¹. Those guitars carried their effects on board rather than in outboard pedals, and the repeat percussions circuit, the choppy tremolo effect the pedal revives, is the part of that design players remember most.

For a player, that lineage explains the pedal's character: it is aimed at reproducing a specific 1960s sound rather than offering a modern take on fuzz, and the booster stage sits alongside the fuzz in the same way the original guitar's built-in circuits did¹.
