The Faceless Fuzz - Limited Release (CV7003)

Limited Release Faceless Fuzz with Germanium Texas Instruments CV7003 transistors!

To build this special limited release Faceless Fuzz I used my Production #1 Diaz Texas Squareface as the starting point and tried to create a pedal that captured it's sonic essence but with much higher quality parts. I am confident in saying that these are some of the best sounding pedals I've ever made!

Each of these limited germaniums will come in the stunning RED colourway shown.

Nothing else sounds quite like an old OC44 germanium transistor. These military-spec versions are some of my favourite transistors of all time and are extremely rare and very expensive but they are just fantastic!

Only 3 units available!

Standard Faceless Fuzz Description:

Made one-at-a-time in Canada, the Faceless Fuzz is a tribute to the iconic face-style fuzz of the '60s, seamlessly blending vintage character with contemporary design elements to cater to the demands of today's discerning players.

Driven by an unwavering obsession with perfecting this circuit, my journey led me to overcome the subtle quirks, resulting in what we proudly present as my favorite take on this classic fuzz. No frills, just two knobs and the truth!

At the forefront, the Level control delivers a formidable punch, capable of pushing the front end of your amp when cranked up. The Fuzz control, meticulously designed, ensures usability across its sweep. From the colossal fuzz of yesteryears to dialing it back for the ideal blend of clarity and grit, this control offers a versatile range. Explore various tones effortlessly by manipulating your guitar's volume knob once you've found that perfect setting. Dare I say, it can get 'glassy!

Internally, the Faceless Fuzz boasts amp-level quality components harmonizing with carefully chosen NOS transistors. A bias trimmer with dual test pads enables easy fine-tuning, allowing you to sculpt the fuzz's character to your desired level of spittiness.

Built for the road, these pedals feature a pedalboard-friendly size, top-notch top-jacks, a soft-click footswitch by Gorva, and a standard DC center-pin negative power jack ready to fit into any pedalboard.

A word about transistors – the heart of this circuit. Each transistor type imparts its unique character to the sound and feel of the fuzz. Refer to the Transistor Info FAQ in the top menu for details on different types of transistors. Prices may vary based on rarity, with new options as they are available.
