Description

Edit description

Unleash the raw power of vintage fuzz with the Hagerman Tsar Face, a fuzz pedal that redefines classic sound with modern innovation. At the heart of this pedal lies a low-gain germanium PNP transistor, meticulously designed to deliver rich, saturated tones that stay true to the original fuzz sound. What sets the Tsar Face apart is its pioneering two-transistor bias stabilization circuit, which ensures consistent performance without the hassle of transistor gain sorting or temperature-related issues.

Whether you're looking to add a treble boost or a subtle cut, the buffered TONE control offers a versatile range of tonal possibilities. Plus, with its increased input impedance, this pedal harmonizes perfectly with humbuckers and can be seamlessly integrated into any pedalboard, even when placed after other effects. For those moments when you need to clean up your sound, simply roll down your guitar's volume, and the Tsar Face responds with impressive clarity.

Key Features:

True bypass for unaltered signal clarity
30mV onset of clipping for dynamic fuzz response
Frequency response from 50Hz to 8kHz
Operates on -9V to -15V @ 2mA (center negative)
Buffered TONE control for treble boost and cut
Compatible with humbuckers and other pedals in the chain

Explore the Tsar Face and experience a fuzz pedal that not only pays homage to its roots but also stands out with its cutting-edge enhancements, making it a staple for any guitarist seeking authenticity with a twist.
