FUZZ- PETTYJOHN ELECTRONICS Rail ...an OpAmp Bender???

PETTYJOHN ELECTRONICS RAIL FUZZ

$200.00 USD

Strange as it may seem it is an Opamp Fuzz but it has a tonality that sounds more 

like a Tonebender than something like a Big Muff Opamp Fuzz. A second twist is it can 

run from 7v to 18v so you can get a lot of headroom. The headroom keeps the core 

tone but gives you more dynamics and definition. On the other hand with less you 

get a more gnarly classic sound. The feel will change throughout the spectrum. 

CONCLUSION

The most notable feature unlike nearly every Fuzz it creates a very tight and controlled definition. It would be fair to say it is that it is un-Fuzz like. Guys that hate a Fuzz 

and are big OD fans would love it. You definitely get 'that sound' without pulling on the reigns of a wild Fuzz-horse. There are pedals out there like the Big Knob Colour Jumbo Tonebender that meet you halfway with the crazy Fuzz spit, 

sputter and growl still there, but under control. 

It is worth comparing.

the fine print

Pettyjohn make a series of pedals that are both ingenious and sound incredibly impressive. 

They have an incredible sense of fine detail in their sound.They are very pricey because zero 

expense is spared to make them so. I truly believe without these costly parts they may 

be so bad as unusable. They would be like a Ferrari that stalled on every gear change. 

The Rail is Pettyjohns newer line that attempts to make a budget friendly pedal. 

It is good but the guy is making it with his hands tied and it shows.
