Would you get the ultimate vintage Fuzz pedal? Here at Supro USA, we think so. The Supro Fuzz takes this “best-of-all-worlds” approach to old-school fuzz using an N.O.S. Germanium transistor in the first stage, followed by secondary, silicon-based gain and a dash of our special sauce to create a low-noise, high-gain fuzz box that will leave you deaf and breathless.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_column-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re looking for a touch-sensitive, vintage 60’s flavor or a full-on wall of modern sonic destruction, the Supro Fuzz delivers the goods while keeping your noise floor amazingly low. The Supro Fuzz pedal sports a simple control layout with Volume, Gain, Treble and Bass knobs. The independent EQ found on this pedal is drawn from the award-winning tone stack found in our flagship tube amplifiers, offering a huge range of adjustability without the frustrating limitations of a more traditional, one-knob EQ design. Both Bass and Treble controls are capable of cutting or boosting within their respective frequency bands, with each control designed to deliver the widest possible range of usable tones while remaining musical at all settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-vc-action=\"collapse\" class=\"vc_tta-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_general vc_tta vc_tta-tabs vc_tta-color-grey vc_tta-style-style2 vc_tta-shape-rounded vc_tta-spacing-1 vc_tta-tabs-position-top vc_tta-controls-align-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_tta-panels-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_tta-panels\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\" class=\"vc_tta-panel vc_active\" id=\"1490817750011-a984e78a-7e6bedfd-30dd20fa-697d9b00-0a704c3b-454b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuzz Face dynamics, Big Muff sustain and Tone Bender harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOS UK made Germanium transistor front end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-band Treble \/ Bass EQ controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpression pedal control for TREBLE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking the fuzz pedal one step further, the Supro Fuzz offers a TRS port for expression pedal control of the TREBLE knob.

If you’re a stompbox junkie you probably know that there is no shortage of signal boosters out there.\u003cbr\u003eSo what makes the Phat Phuk Bass Booster different?\u003cbr\u003eWell, a few things:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis booster is made specifically for the bass guitar. It was designed to accommodate tunings down to a five string’s typical low B and can be used for even lower tunings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis booster was not made to be “transparent”. It’s not a JFET or MOSFET based booster. There are many fine boosters out there that are designed to be “transparent.” If that’s what you’re after, the Phat Phuk may not be for you. A JFET is used in the Phat Phuk however, more on that below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phat Phuk is not a clone of any other pedal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phat Phuk is a JFET\/germanium single circuit hybrid booster. There is a double booster I know of with two independent boosts, one being a germanium, one JFET based. It’s actually a very fine pedal. Perhaps there is another single circuit JFET-germ booster out there, but I’m not aware of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePink Sparkle Paint with a solid pink base coat. Then a durable clear-pink sparkle top-coat. The base coat and top-coat give a deep gorgeous finish. You gotta be a confident man to have a pink pedal, or a girl who happens to like the color pink.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere’s what the Phat Phuk is:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA germanium\/JFET booster. A unique sounding pedal which adds a beautiful sheen to your bass’ top end and a bit of grit to the overall tone. It’s a fantastic pedal for situations where you want a lift in your overall level, during a chorus or bridge for example, with a bit of bawdy bump via the germanium transistor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne nice feature is also the more modern JFET transistor at the input which keeps the pedal impedance-friendly when it comes to active bass pickups. This helps the Phat Phuk to remain consistent whether you put a P-Bass in front of it, or a Warwick Thumb.\u003cbr\u003eAnother recommended use: As a simple preamp when going direct into your DAW. Helps to de-sterilize your bass’s direct tone and add a little life before the signal is converted to ones and zeros.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething else that was considered when creating the Phat Phuk B. Many clean-boosts offer way too much boost in my opinion. In any normal playing situation, including intentionally slamming the front end of a tube amp to induce the amp’s natural overdrive, one really only needs a hefty thump to get the job done. There’s nothing wrong with having a large amount of volume on tap, but a problem that can sometimes occur is a lack of ability to fine tune the amount of boost you want. When the sweep of the knob goes from zero to melt-down with one turn of the knob, it gets tough to really dial in a precise amount of boost. Also a slight bump of the boost knob (with a foot or nervous “live show” jitters) can send things out of control. I know because its happened to me. Went for the big chorus during a song, hit the clean boost (not mine, this was long before Wren and Cuff existed) and tore the heads off the people in the front, pissed off the sound man, and pretty much ruined that song. Therefore, the volume sweep was reduced with the Phatty. You still get a big gob of gain, and probably won’t ever need to run the pedal “at 11″, but the trade -off is worth the extra control. Just an example of what Wren and Cuff prides itself on: pedals that sound superior, look beautiful, can take a beating, and are made with the “real world” player in mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn other words: A meticulous attention to detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive the Phat Phuk a try! It’s beauty is in it’s simplicity, but you’ll be surprised how often it’s on!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wren and Cuff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30084549181463,"sku":"W\u0026C-PHAT","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/8460\/files\/FullSizeRender_be8da634-28e0-4d7b-af1d-917633f7e3eb.jpg?v=1746752143"},{"product_id":"tate-fx-hot-coals-germanium-rangemaster-treble-boost-dirt-booster","title":"Tate FX Hot Coals Germanium Rangemaster Treble Boost\/Dirt Booster","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTate FX Hot Coals Germanium Rangemaster Treble Boost\/Dirt Booster\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic Rangemaster style dirty germanium boost.
