Round Face
No surprises here, the Round Face is exactly what it looks like, one of the most venerable fuzzes of the 1960s! Replica style round enclosure, built just like the originals! Hammered gray color with rubber tread and replica knobs. Original style PCB construction using NOS Germanium transistors, NOS capacitors, Cliff jacks, Omeg pots and true bypass switching. Battery operated only (carbon zinc preferred!). Three versions available, Standard Ge, High Gain Ge, or BC108 Silicon. All versions offer superb cleanup and dynamics, Standard tuning is your classic Ge FF, warm and thick. High Gain Ge offers more texture, more aggression, more FUZZ on tap. BC108 is perhaps the most powerful and aggressive, with a brighter attack and shimmering metallic decay.
Details on transistors:
Right now the transistors for these will be as follows:
Standard Ge - NKT CV7007
High Gain Ge - NKT/Mullard/Philips AC125 or CV7007
BC108 - NOS Metal Can Banesa BC108, can also do BC183 on request!
Please allow 4-6 weeks to build and ship your pedal.
