Classic 60's Fuzz
Classic early fuzz from the 60's that directly plugged into the guitar and was very small in size. Randy California of the band Spirit and a good friend of Jimi Hendricks was a great devotee. Much of his guitar tone and long sustain on based this device.

Multiple articles mention Randy California using a Jordan Boss Tone fuzz device on the first four Spirit albums. Not exactly a pedal, the Boss Tone plugged directly into the input jack of a guitar similar to the Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer. This photo and others show a box taped to California's guitar.
According to an article by Guitar World, Norman Greenbaum had an early Alhambra built Jordan Buzz Tone installed into his Telecaster, as documented by Chris Gill. This setup provided the distinctive buzz of "Spirit in the Sky," attributed to the use of a dying battery.
