Fuzz Phase

Project overview

This circuit’s origins are different Soviet electronics magazines and books from behind the iron curtain redesigned and renewed by the PCB Guitar Mania team into a unique vintage germanium fuzz with EQ and gentle phasing vibrato effect.

Introduction

Whether you’re a fan of vintage fuzz pedals or looking to add a distinctive flavor of fuzz to your collection, this exclusive design from PCB Guitar Mania is sure to please.

This unique germanium fuzz is based on different schematics from the Soviet era that we crystallized into one circuit and readapted to modern times while maintaining the original flavor of the early soviet phasers. The result is a truly unique pedal that offers a great vintage fuzz sound with EQ and a smooth phasing vibrato effect.

These types of projects take a lot of rework and experimentation until we reach the final result. If you are interested in similar projects, I recommend you to take a look at our Bulgarian Fuzz.
