The Reuss Purple Faze is a pure and simple 1960s two-transistor Fuzz Face pedal handmade with carefully matched vintage new old stock 1960s US made OC140 NPN germanium transistors.<\/p>\n
The tone of the Reuss Purple Faze is everything you’d desire from a Fuzz Face type of fuzz. Warm, responsive, beautifully textured, cleans up when rolling back your volume knob. The pedal works both for full-on fuzz tones and as a relatively mild drive at modest settings. It’s a super useful tool.<\/p>\n
The big advantage of the NPN transistors is that these allows the original, un-modified circuit to be built with modern power polarity (negative ground), for flawless integration with a modern pedalboard power supply. A huge advance over vintage pedals (and modern clones) which are usually made with PNP transistors and features reverse power polarity – which can cause all sorts of issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
