FUZZ/OD- BESERKER ELECTRONICS Moldy Fuzz (Royal Fuzz Drive)___NEW___ V.2

$180.00 USD
BESERKER ELECTRONICS
Moldy Peach   __ ROYAL FUZZ DRIVE
The pedal has been around for 10 years. This is basically a V.2. 
The 'Royal' bit is simply grasping mediocre & tacky marketing. 
The pedal is a hardclipper OD, much like a Rat OD blended with 
a Fuzz. The layout is really Volume, Gain, and Tone with a Blend 
control for OD with Fuzz.
          CONCLUSION ___
The overall sound has a nice organic and chunky sound 
with a lot of character. The kind of pedal one expects in 
an Indy-Alt band. In spite of the childish marketing
I quite like the pedal.  
 

FUZZ- YESTERDAY EFFECTS Jimi/Jimmy ...Fuzz Face +Tone Bender Mk2 clones

yesterday effects 
$180.00 USD
 jimi / jimmy  
A simple but fun premise. Put Jimi Hendrix's Fuzz Face 
in the same enclosure with Jimmy Page's Tone Bender 
MkII. The layout is easy. Both Fuzz sounds have been 
hardwired in the box as 2 presets. You just toggle 
which one you want. Twist your Volume & Gain knob and ...
 
    CONCLUSION ⃞
Well ...the only video is not what you or anyone 
who ever heard any Fuzz pedal expect.
There is a fine line between genius and stupid.
Your choice, 😇

FUZZ- US DREAM New Fuzz ___NEW___ Fuzz Factory clone??? ___$25 w/free shipping

USdream
NEW FUZZ |
$25.00 USD
on AliExpress w/free shipping
For a start it is an OpAmp Big Muff. US Dream is an online 
store that sells kits. It appears they simply get the kits 
assembled. Printing on the circuit board simply says Fuzz 
Factory. They make a lot of Fuzz pedals and most have 
4 knobs so which one is a mystery. Since they all have a 
BIAS control simply hard wiring the BIAS without a knob 
is no big deal.
   CONCLUSION ___
The reviews from buyers are all positive. 
A few have opened the pedals and are 
positive about the build.
To no surprise there are not any videos.
That said the biggest kit maker in China 
is Landtone and the pedal in the video 
looks exactly like it & has identical OpAmps.
The video with the Landtone has a short  
demo at the end. (13:00)
The pedal sounds damn good !!!

OVERDRIVE- THERMION (Power Bolt Series) Power Drive___NEW ___ killer!!!

Thermion 
POWER DRIVE  Power Bolt Series
$150.00 USD
This company from Albacete Spain have been at it since 2012. 
Back then there wasn't an English site. I bought their MIAB and 
used it for a few years.
They only recently got into a few new pedals. It was worth the 
wait. The new line is just as well made but compact and cheap.
The layout is a nice simple Volume, Tone, Gain & a toggle to 
switch from a classic to a modern voice.
     CONCLUSION
These guys do not clone and their stuff is like Crazy 
Tube Circuits, always really well done and with 
small surprises that work. 
Saying this pedal is tube amp like is a cliche. BUT!
If nothing else it sounds like a pedal with a couple
of real 12AX7 tubes in it!!! Best of all it has a 
very organic grainy character that just grabs me!!!


OVERDRIVE- COLLATERAL FX P021 Parsec ___NEW ___ Greer Lightspeed clone

$150.00 USD
COLLATERAL FX
PARSEC  NATURAL OVERDRIVE 
A company from Brazil makes Greer Lightspeed clone.  
Just for the record the Greer is a Timmy v.1 pedal with tiny couple of mods. In short removing the Timmy 
Bass and Treble and putting in a standard tone control that primarily pushes some highs. 
This fixes the tone in the sweet spot of the Timmy . in short it us an idiot proof Timmy v.1 , LOL
But I digress. So the layout is virally a basic Volume, Tone & Gain. 
     CONCLUSION ___ 
In true Brazil fashion the Parsec is over built and under 
priced. It is built in a steel casing not a cheap & cheerful Hammond B box. the look is elegant,understated and 
looks high end. It sounds like the Greer except a bit
fatter and bit more bite.

Just buy the perfect v.1 Timmy clone. 
The Caline Pure Sky at $30.00 USD.
I love mine.


Joe Satriani & Steve Vai Tour ___ Toronto 2026

 JOE & STEVE 2026 ||| 
The 3rd guitarist is Canadian Pete Thorn who had to 
learn the tracks of both Steve and Joe's tunes. He is 
capable of being the second guitarist for either of them. 
No easy feat. The poor bastard plays a gig in Toronto 
Canada and the camera totally avoids him. A year 
ago the guy did a tribute to EVH as the only guitarist. 
That too is a near impossible task but he nailed it. 
The guy can shred and gets a few shots on some 
tunes but not one is on the video.  
 
.....The poor bastard just can't win.
