Catalinbread Fuzzrite

Catalinbread Fuzzrite is a classic gnarly garage fuzz. From The Ventures’ “2,000 Pound Bee”, and Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gada-Da-Vida”, to the Black Keys, the Fuzzrite has a rich history of taking guitar tones to new levels. We’ve brought the classic silicon circuit back, and added a 9 volts power supply.

The Fuzzrite is a primitive, elemental circuit (and thank goodness for that!) – the types of parts used have a huge impact on the sound and feel of the fuzz. And because of high parts tolerances and 50 years of aging of the components, no two of the originals sound alike. So Catalinbread evaluated dozens of capacitor types and values and spent countless hours A/B testing the new prototype builds, honing in on the best traits of the originals and distilling them into an idealized recipe until ours sounded and felt just like a vintage Fuzzrite in a blind test. Groovy, baby!
