Description
Unleash the true power of your guitar with the Prescription Electronics Face Lift (Four Knob Germanium) fuzz pedal. This pedal is an homage to the legendary fuzz tones that shaped the sound of the late '60s and early '70s, but with a modern twist to meet today's demanding musicians. Featuring four distinct control knobs, this pedal provides an unprecedented level of control over your sound, allowing you to dial in everything from subtle, nuanced fuzz to full-on, face-melting saturation.

The pedal’s intuitive layout includes controls for Fuzz, Level, Bias, and Contour, giving you the ability to fine-tune your sound with precision. Whether you’re looking to recreate classic vintage tones or explore new sonic territories, this pedal’s versatility makes it a must-have addition to any guitarist's pedalboard.

A four-knob version with triangular knobs is featured in this MusicRadar article
“This is my other octave fuzz - I’ve got three octave fuzzes on the board and they’re all different styles. The octave fuzz side on the Face Lift is one of my favourite fuzz pedals, ever. Just the octave fuzz side, though. It’s fucking awesome. My cousin, Robert Quinewho played for Lou Reed and Richard Hell and The Voidoids, first told me about Prescription Electronics pedals, back when I was 18. I probably have every pedal that company has ever made and they’re all great.”
