"Sigma-Martin USA" guitars built in 1981 and 1982 only, had specifically assigned serial numbers ranging from 900,001 to 902,908 (2,907 in total.) These serial numbers are documented by C.F. Martin & Co. and to this day remain the only Sigma related serial numbers that are publicly available.
These "N" instruments, of which only two models were ever produced, the DR-28N & DR-35N partially assembled in Japan and were imported to Nazareth ("N") and the Martin guitar factory as kits. Martin completed and finished them alongside the regular Martin production line. Bridges and tuners may have been installed, as well final sanding and finishing before strings were installed and a final set-up was done. Because more than 30% of the work was completed within the borders of the United States, Martin was legally allowed to designate them as Made in U.S.A.

Based on the fuzz used for guitar parts among other instruments on: USSR, Birthday (the 'underwater piano'), Monkey, Warm Gun, Helter Skelter, Lady Madonna, Bulldog, Hello Goodbye, Flying, Sgt. Peppers, Sympathy for the Devil, Brown Sugar, Honkey Tonk Woman...
The Vox Supreme, Defiant, Conqueror and Virtuoso amplifiers came with a fuzz/OD and semi-parked Wah built into the amp. Stones and Lennon/McCartney/Harrison all used it judiciously on many a tune.
When you blend a fuzz that shoots out of a mix with a scary directness and add to that a perfectly tweaked, talking wah-tone.. Some quadratic time domain stuff happens. It's simply classic and familiar but complex in it's internal layering.
The White Pedal delivers this emotionally rocking voice-- stripped down, raw, holographic, direct, timeless, deconstructionist.
Pedal comes in white bag inside white box. Manual, labels, stickers and white feet included.
Pairing PNP and NPN transistors in one chassis for a spectrum of tone spanning warm overdrive to speaker-blowing distortion according to pick attack, the Land Devices HP-2 instantly adds coveted even-order harmonics and destructive tone to your rig. Built to emulate the same pedal loved by the legendary Steve Albini, the HP-2 expands on the original's delectable tone with a streamlined two-knob layout for harmonics and level and a nifty two-way switch that kicks in a diode lift for room-rattling sound. An affordable option for a truly novel effect on any board.
Note: This device uses standard 2.1mm DC power jack for 9v center negative power. Isolated power supply is recommended. No battery clip.
You all know what this thing can do. If not, this is the Doyle Bramhall II beloved Octave Fuzz!
