Mica-Tone Deluxe Fuzz Pedal - 1970 **Newly Serviced** (Super Fuzz)

From the listing

Seller's description

1970 Mica-tone Deluxe Fuzz **Serviced-with video**I recently picked up a couple of vintage fuzz pedals to restore—a Univox Super-Fuzz and this Mica-Tone Deluxe Fuzz—from the same seller. Both had their share of issues, but with some help from my fuzz aficionado friend Ed, we determined that this Mica-Tone is likely from around 1970. The Mica-Tone Deluxe Fuzz is essentially one of the many rebadged versions of the legendary Honey Baby Crying Fuzz circuit—the same basic design that later became famous as the Univox Super-Fuzz. The Mica-Tone version was imported and sold by MICA (Musical Instrument Corp. of America) and is considered one of the more desirable Super Fuzz variants.This one was truly a diamond in the rough. After a replacing all the bad electrolytic capacitors and re-soldering several loose wires, it came back to life and sounds fantastic. From there, I spent a lot of time on the cosmetic details to make it look as good as possible while preserving its vintage character. The original capacitors will be shipped with the pedal in a bag.I touched up numerous bare metal spots to provide some protection and help them blend in better visually. The pedal was also missing its feet, so I added a new set. To top it off, I created a replacement schematic based on period-correct examples to make the pedal look more complete and closer to its original appearance.I’m really pleased with how this restoration turned out. It’s a great-sounding fuzz and a satisfying save for a piece of classic,vintage gear.
