Between 1966 and 1968, Mosrite manufactured fuzz pedals in two different circuit versions. Of these, the version using germanium transistors is by far the rarest, with Ed Sanner, who designed the original pedal, estimating that around 250 were ever shipped. It was later changed to a silicon transistor version. Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gada-Da-Vida and Strawberry Alarm Clock's Incence and Peppermints are famously recorded using Mosrite Fuzzrites, especially before the switch to silicon versions. Catalinbread had the opportunity to use this germanium version freely, and while using it as a benchmark, we recreated this sound by adding more modern modes. It faithfully reproduces the circuitry of the 60s, producing a splat, raw, and majestic tone. The Depth control adds gain and brightness, while the Volume knob adjusts the overall volume. Select Modern mode with the v/m switch to enhance the low end to suit modern rigs. The gain can also be controlled using the volume control on the guitar, and increasing the depth will produce that dense sound. Anot
