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 Silicon Fuzz is very similar to our Germanium Fuzz but with silicon transistors instead. The results are a pedal that produces edgier fuzz tones with a brighter sound and more gain on tap. The circuit interacts well with the guitar’s volume pot, though not as well as Germanium Fuzz does.
Apart from its awesome sound, the pedal is also completely unaffected by temperature variations resulting in a very stable circuit that has consistent performance under any condition.
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 silicon transistors made by Texas Instruments. Our Silicon 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.
