...spec high ...price low

 


 

The Fuzz 1 is an OpAmp Fuzz that was created by Swedish
designer Karl Eriksson. He is a freelance designer who does nearly
 
all of the dirt pedals for Shenzhen Grand Technology who have handmade pedals made for many brands in China. 
As such he has through them manufacturers and/or access to parts at wholesale prices to make his own brand if he wishes to sell to supplement his income. 
This is for example what Electro Harmonix do. They design the pedals in America but the entire boards are sent as finished product to their NYC factory to be carefully inspected before being built into the enclosures. It is how they keep the prices down but the quality and reliability up 
 
If he sets up a brand who is going to know immediately? Zero! If I set up a brand 
then thousands will know in minutes. In fact 1,952 have dropped by in just last few hours. 
So he wants to sell and have me market pedals under my LENARD Re-Inventions brand. 
I said yes but only if I approve of the sound and build quality of the pedal.
As for an online store we will do what most small builders do at the onset and sell via REVERB. 
 
I have no idea how it will do. Having really small builders as friends 
they tell me 50 pedals give or take in the first year is normal so 
don't quit my day job, LOL  
 
The Fuzz will sell for $100.00 USD plus shipping. Karl tells me if this were made by most  
of what's out there it would be at least $200.00 USD. Especially because of parts like the 
high end OpAmp. 
To be honest I see this Fuzz like a YouTuber who sells t-Shirts and Coffee cups. A way to 
get by without selling out to the manufacturers'. 
Check back in the August 2026 Post of THE UPDATER, for more on our humble offering.
