Rare Buzz Effects

Shitty pedals for below average guitarists – or is it the other way around? Built by hand in Columbus, Ohio.

The first eight Piccolo boards loaded and waiting

The first eight Piccolo boards loaded and waiting for their hand selected germanium transistors. I'm building a test rig that will allow me to quickly connect, bias, and tune the transistor so it can be tested in a functional Piccolo circuit before installation in its destination board. These are vintage surplus Soviet transistors, and some of them are noisier than others, despite the readings on an electrical tester - this step, albeit time consuming, ensures only the best transistors end up in the final product. These eight, and seventeen more of their friends, will be available Friday at 3pm EST, exclusively on the Rare Buzz website. 🤓

A little project for my dude @skullservant of @dirgeelectronics - the Kirby Tone Station. 😁 Tone Stations from the first run(s) are dwindling, and with the Piccolo drop next week it might be a minute before I get more on hand. 😘

Family picture time! Left to right: an original Nanolog Blue Fish, the Blue Fish v2 prototype, and a white over pink Tone Station. All in the very capable hands of Orion DiFranco 🤙

Reposted from @flyinorion @rarebuzzer with the hook up. My original blue fish on the left. The new prototype bluefish in the middle and finally a tone station. Hit up @rarebuzzer and pick up one of his pedals! Who else has pedal problems like I do? #guitarpedals #tone #guitar #guitars #guitarist #guitareffects #guitarpedals #guitarsofinstagram #effects #effectspedals #pedals #pedalheads #pedalbuilding #pedalporn #rarebuzz #rarebuzzer #maker #madeinohio #4ts #4tracksyndicate #rbfx20

What is it Keebler says? Oops we screwed up! Not really, and don't tell Jack White because I'm not in the cease and desist mood today - these two one-offs aren't just cosmetically different. I opted for asymmetrical clipping diode pairs in these two, which to my ear sounds grittier than the standard clipping. These two "striped peppermint candy" Tone Stations will go on Reverb later this week, but if you're interested, get in the DMs now! Same price as standard. 🍭

Some Tone Station love on a Saturday. These are going to see my friend @tieradphoto for some glamour shots as I update the website in preparation for the Piccolo Falsetto drop on October 2. I'll be trying some mix-and-match red and white color scheme Tone Stations, and will probably reload on the white over purple and white over orange later next month. Still have red over red, white over white, and white over pink in stock now! 🤓
