A Vox Tonebender with Mullard OC42 and OC76 germanium transistors. Built on vero with carbon composition resistors, BC electros, styroflex and PIO caps. Finished in a red powdercoat with a white LED. The toggle disconnects the battery when not in use, averting the need to plug out the input jack.






A Fuzzrite built on vero with an MPSA18 and a 2N2222A metal can transistor with the 22k/boost switch. Finished in a dark gold hammertone with a green LED.
For Julien in France.





A Fender Blender clone with some mods. One footswitch engages the tone boost, as on the original, while the other footswitch engages one of two feedback modes, selected by the lower toggle. The other toggle disengages the octave for a more regular fuzz sound.
For Benoit in France.





A modified Triangle Muff which uses LED clipping, instead of the usual silicon diodes, for a louder, less compressed sound. It also has an extra presence control based on Jack Orman’s presence mod, which interacts with the Tone control for extra versatility.
For Rick in the U.S.





An Ibanez Standard Fuzz clone built in a large enclosure with the same 2SK30 and 2SC828 silicon transistors as the original, along with Philips axial electros and metal film resistors. The Standard Fuzz is similar to the Univox Superfuzz, with controls for Depth (fuzz) and Balance (volume) while the extra footwitch selects either the octave fuzz tone or the scooped mids sound. The 3-way toggle switch selects one of 3 diode clipping modes: germanium (stock), silicon (louder output) or no diodes (lots of extra output). Finished with a white LED, large dial knobs and a cream powdercoat.
For Guillaume in Belgium.





The next batch of Rams Heads for the Crush The Button shop. Finished in a gold powdercoat with the classic Dakaware knobs. As usual, it’s only available through Crush. See the Rams Head page for more info.

For Matt in Florida, US.





Here is an original Paraclete Productions Fuzz Sustain, which is basically a re-branded Foxx Tone Machine. It has the usual Tone Machine controls for volume, sustain (fuzz) and tone with a toggle to switch between the regular fuzz sound and an octave fuzz. It uses 2N3565 silicon transistors and carbon composition resistors.





A Tonebender MkII clone with OC75 germanium transistors. As well as the usual Attack and Level controls, there’s a Bias control and a Pre-gain control which helps make it more usable with high output humbuckers. There’s also a toggle switch which cuts some low end at the output. Finished in a gold hammertone.
For Andrea in Italy.






A Violet Rams Head clone with Panasonic caps and 2N5088 transistors, clear red LED and Daka-ware knobs.
For Alfonso in Spain.
