Germanium 'face' fuzz circuit, built with rare NPN germanium transistors for modern, pedalboard friendly power polarity
The tone of the Reuss Purple Faze is everything you'd desire from a FF type of fuzz. Warm, responsive, beautifully textured, cleans up when rolling back your volume knob. The pedal works both for full-on fuzz tones and as a relatively mild drive at modest settings. It's a super useful tool. The big advantage of the NPN transistors is that these allows the original, un-modified circuit to be built with modern power polarity (negative ground), for flawless integration with a modern pedalboard power supply. A huge advance over vintage pedals (and modern clones) which are usually made with PNP transistors and features reverse power polarity - which can cause all sorts of issues.
Features and specifications:
- - True to vintage germanium fuzz circuit based on the FF, built with carefully matched vintage new old stock OC140 NPN germanium transistors (personally matched by myself)
- - Pedalboard friendly negative ground powered (contrary to vintage pedals which had reverse polarity)
- - Compact aluminium enclosure in a "cosmic purple" metallic powder coat finish with yellow silk screen printed graphics
- - Upgrade quality footswitch (good for at least 50000 stomps)
- - High quality Neutrik jacks, wired by hand
- - Powder coated and silk screen printed aluminium enclosure
