New in December 2020: Now available in a super limited 'Special' edition featuring the cream of the crop of the OC140 transistors, selected for high hfe (gain) and low leakage (Q1 hfe = app. PNP germanium transistors are much cheaper and easily available. This is why you don't see them in other boutique pedals. OC140 NPN germanium transistors are VERY expensive parts, costing more than 10 EUR/each at suppliers, if available at all. A huge advance over vintage pedals (and modern clones) which are usually made with PNP transistors and features reverse power polarity - which can cause all sorts of issues.
The big advantage of the NPN transistors is that these allows the original, un-modified circuit to be built with modern power polarity (negative ground), for flawless integration with a modern pedalboard power supply. The pedal works both for full-on fuzz tones and as a relatively mild overdrive at modest settings. Warm, responsive, beautifully textured, cleans up when rolling back your volume knob. The tone of the Reuss Purple Faze is everything you'd desire from a FF type of fuzz. TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT - Coming back in 2022! The perfect face Super great sounding 1960s germanium 'face' fuzz circuit, built with rare NPN germanium transistors for modern, pedalboard friendly power polarity A pure and simple 1960s 'face' fuzz pedal handmade with carefully matched vintage new old stock 1960s US made OC140 NPN germanium transistors.
