Ever since Goree Carter released his 1949 single ”Rock Awhile”, distortion has been the most favored guitar effect in history. Before overdrive/distortion pedals, cranking a small tube amp to max, or even slicing the speaker cone with a razor blade, was common practice to achive the sought after distortion sound. Since the first Fuzz-pedals of the 1960’s, a world of great pedals has built the foundation of rock music as we know it today.
Black Sheep G-Fuzz is a Vintage Fuzz pedal that achieves classic fuzz tones of the late ´60s/early ´70s era. It´s simple controls allow the G-Fuzz to do one thing and do it well, taking you from classic rock to contemporary fusion. Fuzz has been applied to guitar signals for decades to weave a unique musical texture - either by itself, or to aggravate the input of an already overdriven tube amp. This compact pedal´s two pots - Volume and Fuzz – let’s you effortlessly dial up anything from relatively tame silken fuzz to snarly, sputtery, and full-on nasty fuzz tone. Its full metal casing makes it durable and road ready, and like most great effects pedals it has true bypass.
