Please note: pre-order numbers are limited and pedals will be ready to ship by the end of September

 

This listing of the MK1.6 Fuzz is the Silicon version featuring a first-class pair of NOS Silicon transistors - your choice of BC108, BC109 or BC209 devices.

 

Transistor Tasting Notes:

 

  • BC108 Silicon (med gain) – wonderful transistors and our go to selection classic Silicon fuzz tones.  Bright chiming cleanup, big fat tones when dimed.

  • BC109 Silicon (higher gain) – very similar across the range to the BC108 above with more saturation and compression at top end of the dial.  These are the transistors in Mick from That Pedal Show's MK1.6 Fuzz, which he's recently been using on his personal board for live gigs.

  • BC209 Silicon (highest gain) – huge fuzz tones, saturated and compressed. Crunchy in lower gain settings. Cleans up great but not as much as the versions above.

 

The Dual Range Fuzz is hand crafted effect pedal based on our MK 1.6 Fuzz circuit. The Dual Range Fuzz takes performance to a new level by adding an additional boosted fuzz mode that can be fine-tuned for extra gain and volume. All transistors are high quality NOS devices, hand selected and tested in each circuit.

 

The controls are simple but highly effective - 'Attack' dials up the fuzz and 'Level' sets the overall output of the effect, which ranges from soft to sonic destruction. The Boost controls interact with the standard Attack and Level controls to provide an extremely diverse palette of tones, ranging from boosted cleans to searing fuzzed out mayhem. You can set the pedal up to create two quite distinct tones or maybe add just a touch of extra grunt to your rhythm tone for cranking out a lead.

 

The Dual Range Fuzz is designed to provide a high level of output when desired and is capable of a significant volume boost - this fuzz will not disappear in the mix when engaged.

 

There's also a little Boost Low Cut switch which shaves off bottom end when in Boost mode and the Gain is fully cranked. Switch in the up position gives you full range fuzz, switched in the down position reduces bass response to give you extra cut in the mix.

 

Raising the level also hits the input of your amp harder and interacts with tube preamp stages to produce beautiful overtones and a wide range of overdrive and distortion tones through to raging fuzz. Subtle changes in pick attack and tweaks to your guitar's volume and tone controls offer up unlimited avenues for expression.

​

The circuit is built upon a custom-made board with the highest quality components and an obsessive attention to detail. The Dual Range Fuzz is both battery powered and includes a DC power socket (standard centre negative, 2.1mm plug). The battery is disconnected from the circuit when DC plug inserted so you can leave hooked up on your board.

​

Each Pedal is built by hand, one at a time, and individually voiced to optimize its specially selected pair of transistors. This means no two pedals are exactly the same - they all have unique attributes and components are chosen to enhance the sonic qualities of each circuit.

​

All pedals come complete with a custom carry bag, signed and numbered certificate of authenticity and instruction card.

    Sounds like records

    The search is over. That gnawing feeling that you haven’t quite got the fuzz tone you’re after, or you’re compromising between articulation and thickness, or it’s not dynamic enough… the feeling that always leads to looking for the next fuzz fix. With the Dual Range Fuzz, that feeling is no more.


    So many shades of overdrive are available

    from pick attack and volume pot. Thick, articulate overdrive sounds like you’ve heard on golden era 70s rock records. Then, step on the boost and move into face melting territory — but still with a controllable bottom end.


    For me, this is the perfect fuzz — and a true desert island drive pedal to boot. Thanks, Tim!

    Excellent Fuzz

    This is an incredible fuzz pedal Tim came up with. Extremely versatile with the boost switch and conrols and very practical for live use to get that extra kick and volume.


    Gorgeous thick fuzz with the fuzz control up and great rhythm tones with lower settings. Love the bass cut switch too. Would suggest this to any fuzz head out there! Great job Tim!

    100% vintage goodness!

    I got a hybrid Ge-Si version of this some time back, and it's been a super-tasty addition to my board. My setup's not too big, so the Boost footswitch is a very welcome option for leads/solos.
