The Echopark F-1 Germanium Fuzz is influenced by Mosrite's 'Fuzzrite' from the mid-1960s. The circuit is designed to cater to vintage fuzz enthusiasts and those seeking new sonic territories. The 'Level' knob sets the dry-to-effect volume, while the 'Blend' control blends the first stage of germanium transistor into the second stage, creating a range from subtle fizzle to a big fat hairy boost, harmonic flutter, or solid milky walls. The pedal features leaded solder on solid boards with individually measured/tested discreet components, solid mil-spec construction, and true bypass switching. It is made in America and priced at $265.00.
The F-1 Fuzz houses its hand-wired circuitry in an industrial gray powder- coated enclosure with big Bakelite-style knobs. It can be powered by a 9V adapter or a battery. The left knob controls volume, while the right knob controls gain. The gain knob utilizes two germanium transistors, blending their output to add dirt and change the texture of the fuzz. The pedal offers remarkable harmonic richness, touch sensitivity, and great sustain, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and setups.
The Echopark F-1 Germanium Fuzz is known for its remarkable fuzz tones, touch sensitivity, and streamlined looks. It is easy to use and excels at enhancing the EQ attributes and color of an amp without sacrificing any of its personality or power. While it may be considered a bit expensive, it is highly regarded for its inspiring sound and feel, making it a popular choice among rock stars and musicians.
