This is a rendition of the Mosrite Fuzz-Rite. It uses germanium transistors, as did the first batch of Fuzz-rites in the mid-late 60s. It sounds quite unlike my other fuzz pedals, which are renditions of the Fuzz Faces and Tone Benders and the like. When playing intervals or chords, the attack has a violent, almost white noise sound, which is then followed by a blaring sustain. I use the Fuzz-White with Telecasters, Stratocasters and Les Pauls into Marshall and Hiwatt amps. Works well with Wah pedal.

The Fuzz-White's both primitive and other worldly. Which is all I ever want out of a distortion device.
