Latest Release: The Fuzz Bob-Omb

The Fuzz Bob-Omb is the culmination of substantial research and development at Rare Buzz Effects. This discrete hybrid fuzz features a JFET input buffer that feeds a four-stage germanium fuzz core followed by a simple transistor buffer to preserve signal strength at the output jack. Each germanium stage incorporates carefully selected surplus Soviet transistors – three different varieties are used. Fuzz is created by rectifying the signal, done by a deliberate arrangement of four germanium diodes – topology based on an incredibly rare Soviet-era circuit from the 1970s.

An epic pedal of epic epicness. Easy to dial in with intuitive controls, the Fuzz Bob-Omb produces diverse fuzz tones – from subtle rumble to high pitched scrapes. A fuzz for those who hate fuzz, it finds a home in varying musical genres: blues, metal, rock, or songs that make you think about death and get sad and stuff. Sounds just as good on bass, even if you only play one note the entire song. Available exclusively from Rare Buzz Effects.

First run ships November 30.
