Germanium Fuzz (OC44)

Hand-built germanium fuzz designed the old-school way: by ear.

Built around genuine vintage OC44 germanium transistors, part of the same family of British devices that helped define the guitar tones of the 1960s and helped shape the sound of classic British rock.

Each pedal features hand-selected OC44 transistors, carefully paired for musical interaction between Q1 and Q2. Every transistor set is individually tested and matched by ear to deliver exceptional touch sensitivity, smooth cleanup, and rich vintage character.

Inspired by the golden age of British guitar tone that influenced players such as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and countless other musicians who helped define the sound of the 1960s.

The Germanium Fuzz delivers everything players love about classic fuzz circuits:

⚡ Rich harmonic sustain

⚡ Responsive pick attack

⚡ Dynamic cleanup from your guitar’s volume knob

⚡ From gritty breakup to saturated vintage fuzz

⚡ Hand-selected and carefully matched OC44 transistors

⚡ Individually biased and tuned by ear

⚡ Vintage germanium tone with modern pedalboard compatibility

Unlike many vintage positive-ground fuzz circuits, the Germanium Fuzz features an internal voltage inverter, allowing it to be powered from a standard 9V center-negative pedalboard power supply.

Roll your guitar volume back and it cleans up beautifully. Turn it up and unleash thick, singing fuzz with vintage character and touch sensitivity modern pedals often miss.

Each pedal is individually tested and tuned by ear to capture the feel, response, and musicality that made germanium fuzzes legendary.
