The original Rosewood Telecaster was built as a prototype for George Harrison in 1968, and was entered into regular production in 1969. With some variation in the body composition, the Rosewood Tele was only produced until 1972, putting this item near the swan song of its original American production run. Further, a special run of chambered hollowbody editions were made between 1971-72.

an all-analog design that’s effectively two pedals on one: it not only serves up classic, FZ-1-inspired fuzz; you can flip the Mode toggle switch to select a thicker, more contemporary-sounding fuzz tone. In Classic mode, it cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter. Need it to blend in with the track a bit more? Switch to Modern mode (which also happens to sound awesome on electric bass). However you deploy it in your arrangements, you’ll find the Fuzz-Tone FZ-M makes your mixes glow with vibrant energy and jump right out of the speakers. If you’re like many of the guitarists here at Sweetwater, you’ve collected several pedals over the years in the quest for the ultimate fuzz. With the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-M, your search is over.

This silicon fuzz pedal has all the usual controls, such as Level, Fuzz, and Tone; but its Bloom control is what really sets it apart, allowing you to mold the contours of your sound. Beyond that, a Mid switch boosts or cuts your midrange for even more tonal textures, while a Thick switch injects your sound with a bit of girth and muscle. The Pelt is a killer fuzz.

The FZ-1W features vintage and modern modes to give you access to a range of fuzzy tones, from glitched-out sputters and raspy fuzz grind to singing, string-like sustain. In vintage mode, the FZ-1W emulates classic fuzz circuits but with higher gain and a wider expressive range, and a tilt-EQ-style knob simultaneously adjusts the high and low frequencies for dialing in the perfect old-school fuzz tone for any situation. Modern mode is specifically designed to provide a cutting, contemporary sound, with even more gain on tap and some serious fatness. In modern mode, the tone knob has a unique tuning that lets you sculpt the high end without reducing the midrange — you’ll never get lost in the mix!

The original overdrive from 1970 was a stunner in tone but rare. Now Jext Telez nails the original, bringing one of the great amp goosing rock drive machines back. Sort of blurs the line between OD and fuzz.

Single ended student amp manufactured by National/Valco for the Supro brand starting in the late 50s. 1x12ax7 preamp, 1x6v6/1x5y3 power section, approximately 5 watts like a champ. Single oval 8" speaker.

A reissue of Supro's iconic '60s-era 1 x 8-inch tube combo amplifier, the '64 Super was built for one purpose: no-frills tube tone. And when we say no frills, we mean it. The Supro Super '64 Super boasts a single volume knob — and that's it. Its red-hot, ECC83-based preamp feeds directly into a 6V6-equipped, single-ended 5-watt power amp that evokes Supro's pre-war origins. A top-notch Jensen C8R speaker rounds out this compact brute. If you want pure vintage Supro tone, the '64 Super packs a lot of tube-infused character into a compact guitar combo amplifier.

Featuring a simple and intuitive 3-knob layout and a bona fide analog design, the TC Electronic Choka Tremolo pedal is primed to soak your signal in an ebbing tide of old-school tremolo tones. With its flexible LFO control, the Choka Tremolo grants access to a range of sounds, from delicate swells to hard chops. It’s housed in a road-worthy all-metal enclosure, and it features true bypass circuitry to preserve your core tone when the pedal is disengaged.

Orville was the production name used by the Fuji Gen Gakki factory after Gibson licensed them to produce and market exact replicas of their guitars in Japan. Some specimens only said "Orville" on the headstock on used Japanese humbuckers and a poly finish, while specimens reading "Orville By Gibson" on the headstock had authentic Gibson PAF '57 Classic humbuckers and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. These "By Gibson" models are worth slightly more.

Built with a traditional 9-volt two-band preamp, select Birdseye maple neck and a classic single Music Man humbucker constructed with alnico pole pieces, the Music Man Sting Ray 5 HS Neck Through channels the retro glory of the original into a modern-day rendition all its own. Streamlined in design for ease of playing and comfort with an array of striking vintage colors like Coral Red and Lake Tahoe Blue, this instrument is action-packed with rich, organic bass tones leaping straight out of the past.

By adding an Attenuator control to the Naga Viper MkII, Catalinbread has essentially given guitarists the ability to level out unwanted saturation from the pre-effected signal. As a result, you’ll preserve the raw, treble-boosted tone of the Naga Viper MkII, sending it straight to your amp for an entirely optimized showcasing of every vitality of the performance. Catalinbread also revamped the pedal’s circuitry and swapped out its old transistor for a new high-gain version, permitting players to dabble in much hotter tones than its predecessor. From subtly sharpened to searingly scorched, you stay in the driver’s seat.

The Laney Black Country Customs TI-Boost is a hot-rodded Rangemaster-style boost patterned after the pedal Tony Iommi brandished on Black Sabbath's early classic recordings. And while this signature stompbox is certainly well-suited for by-the-book Sabbra Cadabra fare, its increased gain and added EQ options ensure that it's capable of much more. The TI-Boost's 4-knob layout gives you plenty of tone-shaping control to work with, plus you get a 3-way Mid boost switch to voice the pedal specifically for your rig and playing style. This roadworthy stompbox includes true-bypass operation with whisper-silent switching, and it's housed in a solid, iron-man-tough metal chassis. With the Laney TI-Boost, you can capture the sinister guitar tone that's rocked countless stadiums, or you can use it to explore your own signature tones. Either way, your pedalboard will flaunt the same box Tony Iommi uses as a crucial part of his tour rig.

Modeled after the exact same preamp circuit from the legendary EP-3 tape echo unit, the Catalinbread Epoch Boost preamp/buffer pedal makes your tone bigger, fuller, and livelier. Countless guitarists over the years have plugged into that echo unit simply to treat their tone with the sound of its preamp, and that's what you get with the Epoch Boost — plus more. It's also a pristine buffer, making it a great choice for the end of your pedalboard chain. And to maintain the dynamics of your performance, it internally shifts your 9-volt power supply up to 22 volts for greater headroom.

Moderate Gain, a balanced sound with sweet harmonic detail and smooth treble definition.
