ROSE-MORRIS  

SHAFTSBURY   DUOFUZZ 

Rose-Morris were a musical instrument distributor founded in the 1920's. In 1966 they had morphed into the evolving electric scene 

and formed their own in house brands. This Fuzz was part of that. 

They like several distributors had a store in London that although 

they sold to the public was important for the hundreds of small

shops to visit London and see the whole line of product. They are 

most noted for distributing all the early Marshall amps. This Fuzz 

is a resurrection of a 1980's Fuzz and was modded and built for 

them by Thorpy.  

 CONCLUSION __ 

It is not a Tone Bender actually it is more like a very early Shin-ei. It does the octave thing but that is not its strength. The second voice of the 'Duo' is.  It has a distinct raspy nasal sound that can be dialed in with enough breadth to give it some serious aggression. I confess I quite like it. But? not for $335.00 USD.

The just re-issued EarthQuaker Master General is a much better choice with seriously good and usable octave tones plus its other sounds are excellent.
