Description

Edit description

As the name suggests, The SkateFuzz TRIP BALLS is a Fuzz. Its a big Fuzz based around the “Violet Rams Head”. I had ( have ) a select stash of “Tin Can” BC109 transistors that I’ve been keeping aside for an enclosure and circuit to match, and I think this is the one. The Cans, combined with some NOS Russian clipping diodes ( KD522B ) makes for a really…. fat sounding fuzz. I like it. I like it a lot. Also you get the 3 way mids switch, heaps of fun to be had.

The enclosure goes through a special and VERY time consuming process to get it to look how it does. This process ensures that no two enclosures will never look the same. So, what you get, is unique. And loud.

Demos Coming….

Enjoy

All of my pedals are hand built in Australia by me, true bypass, no internal battery and are powered by the normal BOSS style ( 9v centre negative ) external power supply.

Dr. Acid SkateFuzz TRIP BALLS review on pedal-of-the-day.com

The Dr. Acid SkateFuzz TRIP BALLS is a fuzz pedal that marries bold sound with unique aesthetics, featuring a skateboard wheel for a bypass switch. With the Violet Ram’s Head circuit, it uses vintage BC109 transistors and Russian diodes to create a rich, versatile fuzz tone. The 3-way Mids switch enhances tonal flexibility, making it ideal for fuzz aficionados. While its distinct, labor-intensive design ensures each pedal is unique, its limited production means availability can be scarce. Overall, it's a must-have for fuzz lovers and collectors looking for standout sound and design.

This pedal is a lot of fun, super unique and a welcomed pleasure to have in my rig. It works well with a bass which is what I bought it for, but have also used it when playing with my guitar. It was made with these rare Russian Clipping Diodes to make the sound fatter and fuzzier than usual. The chasis/enclosures are all hand painted by the owner (Dr. Acid) in Australia. I saw it, and had to have it. The sad part is that I don't think this particular one is made anymore.
