"DB design Lemon Fuzz pedal in blue - tweeked to perfection using geranium transistors"

"You're looking at a hand made fuzz pedal built the traditional way featuring geranium transistors..."


Hmmm....

Obviously a typo, but one that occurred a couple times in the auction...makes one question his attention to detail.

I've had one of these in to fix - it sounds good enough to be worth tracing and measuring voltages and transistor parameters, but it's a mess inside!

You are mistaken. You are looking at the unique signature of a handbuilt pedal. Handbuilt means pristine sonic qualities that no specialized large volume manufacturer will ever be able to achieve.

Thanks for the pics! :shred:
