Stomp, Mod & Delay/Verb Models • Stomp ModelsFacial FuzzSometime in late 1966, an infamous circular stompboxhit the London music scene. Designed and built byArbiter ® Music, the Fuzz Face would soon begin itsfamous association with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. Itwould also come to be known as a great bass effectbecause of it’s association with Soft Machine’s HughHopper.6 • 6Like all stompboxes from the early era, the Fuzz Facewould see many design changes, as well as re-issues. Ourmodel is based on* the germanium diode-powered treasure pictured here: an original,very early “gray with black screening” Arbiter Fuzz Face. Call the Bass PODXT LiveFacial Fuzz model up, and treat yourself to our faithful re-creation of the original’s fuzzand glory. Crank up the drive, and you’ll be seeing Purple Haze right before your eyes.Fuzz PiNot to be outdone by the Brits, the colonies cameup with their own twist on the fuzz rage. MikeMathews and his band of merry men at Electro-Harmonix ® had been cooking up all sorts of niftyeffects when their attention turned to thedistortion/fuzz pedal. Their most popular offeringwas the Electro-Harmonix ® Big Muff Pi, ® knownmore for its sweet sustain than for its buzz.Electro-Harmonix ® was famous for their use ofsurplus parts, and the results of this practice wereever-changing circuit designs and parts specs. Asyou can see in the picture of our collection of Big Muffs, these pedals had several looksdetermined by the parts that Mike and the gang found at hand. Our sweetheart of thebunch is the one in the middle, known as the “triangle knob pattern” model. We knowyou’ll agree, there’s nothing like a slice of Pi.*All product names are trademarks of their respective owners, which are in no way associated oraffiliated with Line 6.
