GRAN FUZZ / PROTOTYPE NO.2

Peter (Pedro Speedrock) van Elderen was one of the first musicians to contact us. He was immediately interested in the Gran Fuzz. He called the pedal "Pure art" and is very enthusiastic about it. "It sounds like gold..." he texted us.

You might know Peter from the band Tankzilla. Think brutal, heavy, and groove-rich rock 'n' roll, characterized by powerful guitar riffs and killer drumming.

You might also know him from Peter Pan Speedrock, a Dutch rock band from Eindhoven. Their music combines punk rock, hard rock, rockabilly, and metal and is known for fast, energetic live shows. They have collaborated with bands including Gluecifer, Danko Jones, Zeke, and Batmobile. Peter Pan Speedrock has played numerous major festivals, including Pinkpop, Lowlands, Dynamo Open Air, Roskilde, and Zwarte Cross, and toured internationally in Europe, the US, Australia, and Japan. The band also organized their own festivals, such as Speedfest and Klok Rock Orange.

We're thrilled that Peter has started using the Gran Fuzz!

The Gran Fuzz is a hand-built analog fuzz pedal based on a 1,5V 1960s circuit, modified for use with modern 9V power supplies. It produces a thick, mid-focused fuzz tone that reacts strongly to playing dynamics and volume changes on your instrument. The Gran Fuzz features a modified filter and an added gain stage. This gives it enormous headroom and allows it to also be used as a booster. The pedal works well with both guitar and bass.

Controls are simple and effective:

• Fuzz adjusts the amount of gain and saturation.

• Tone shapes the brightness and bite of the fuzz.

• Volume controls the overall output level.

Each pedal is built in a custom metal enclosure, manually assembled, and fitted with selected components. Because every build is done by hand, no two units look or sound exactly the same.

Power: 9V-12 DC, center negative
Bypass: True bypass switching
Input/output: Standard ¼" mono jacks
