FUZZ- BASIC AUDIO Gnarly Fuzz ....Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz Tone clone

$200.00 USD
 BASIC  AUDIO  
 GNARLY  FUZZ
When I was a kid I bought a Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz Tone. When I got it, 
it was the only Fuzz on the damn planet you could actually go to a 
store and buy.
The first Tonebender was simply a beefed up Fuzz Tone. The Gnarly 
is a take on our great grandad's dirt pedal. The layout is volume, 
Gain and BIAS.
   CONCLUSION __
The Gnarly is tweaked to give it a bit more consistency 
by swapping out the germanium transistors for silicon.
But the added BIAS gives you a hint of octave up and  
adds a bit of snarl.
