Product Description
The Hartman SFZ brings two classic fuzz circuits together in a single pedal. Starting with a pair of meticulously crafted clones of the original Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face circuit, the SFZ stacks 2 stages of fuzz end-to-end using gain-selected Germanium and Silicon transistor pairs.
Ge transistor stock is selected for optimal leakage, gain and tone from NOS CV7003, CV7007, CV7117, NKT274, NKT275, OC71, OC84, OC76. Likewise, Silicon transistors are selected from a mixture of old and new stock BC108, BC109 and BC184.
Each fuzz stage has its own Fuzz and Volume controls, heavy-duty true-bypass footswitch, LED indicator, and may be selected individually or combined as a pair for greater depth, detail, tonal coloration and sustain.
Both fuzz stages respond exceptionally well to touch, player dynamics, changes in guitar volume--and to each other! Split internal 18v power permits mixing and matching carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries for even more tonal options.
Optional Internal Bias Trim is available for either or both fuzz circuits.
Hartman SFZ pedals are hand built to order and assembled in the USA. Lead time from clearing of payment to ship is 2 weeks.
