Critic Reviews

Rotosound RFB1 1960s Fuzz Pedal Reissue review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Rotosound RFB1 1960s Fuzz Pedal reissue is a standout revival of a vintage classic, delivering stunning fuzz tones reminiscent of iconic sounds from legends like Beck and Auerbach. Its robust construction and ability to produce both vintage and contemporary sounds make it a desirable piece for fuzz enthusiasts. However, its high price and old-school design, lacking modern conveniences like LED indicators and power supply compatibility, may deter some players. Despite these drawbacks, for those passionate about fuzz, the RFB1 is an inspiring tool that's hard to resist.

Anyone tried one of these Brit beauties? Was a lovely prezzy from Jason How @rotosound_uk [Rotosound] From what I gather after watching @that_pedal_show and the interview with Ant @macaris_official It’s a Mark 3 or 4? #tonebender I had no idea they went to Mrk V! Was a really interesting insight. Cheers!

On fuzz, Max uses an original Rotosound Fuzz pedal on top of the JHS Sweet Tea. He uses it to fatten the sound of a distorted signal.
