We are delighted to be working with Expresso FX, a company with a fantastic reputation for superbly built pedals here in the UK, using the finest and most sought-after parts. 
 
We are thrilled to be doing an exclusive run of these in Pelham Blue - these will be limited in numbers and will be available for the Germanium Boost, the Germanium Fuzz and the Silicon Fuzz, and are due to arrive in January. (The picture above shows the pedal in its stock colour).
 
Our Germanium Fuzz is a classic fuzz pedal reminiscent of those made in the 1960s.  The pedal produces very desirable fuzz tones with all the nuances that germanium transistors are known for.
The circuit interacts very well with the guitar’s volume pot, and goes from a cleanish tone to full blown distortion just by working your guitar volume.

We have sourced an amazing stock of rare and highly sought after NOS components; some amazing NOS Philips and Frako capacitors, NOS Allen Bradley carbon composition resistors, and an array of top grade NOS Mullard and Newmarket germanium transistors.  Our Germanium Fuzz takes you ever so close to the mojo of vintage units.
 
We follow our same tradition of extreme attention to detail when putting these pedals together. Every component used is of the highest quality, with absolutely no compromise.  The circuit is also housed in a high quality aluminium enclosure, professionally powder coated to our exact specification.
