Description

Has your love of the halfling’s leaf clearly slowed your mind? Do you follow the smoke to the riff filled land? Do you just want the sickest, gnarliest tone but don’t wanna fiddle with knobs to find it? Then the GANDALF FUZZ has ONE KNOB TO RULE THEM ALL!!! This simple spell is cast with an opamp blasting a transformer and some germanium diodes (creating an octave up/ring mod effect). Just enough octave, just enough fuzz, just enough distortion. The perfect alchemical recipe. This little box stacks perfectly before or after any other dirt you want to throw at it.

V2 update! Now with internal trim pots for octave blend and tone!
