Ron Asheton Real Cool Fuzz - Ltd. Edition Wedge
The wait is over!! Please welcome the Ron Asheton Real Cool Fuzz... now avail in the Daredevil vintage wedge enclosure. Limited quantity available, signed and numbered.
The circuit is based on the original Vox Tonebender of the late 60's, with tweaks for more gain, better cut, and overall improved operation. Ronny used one with the Stooges, and my goal was to obviously nail the blistering tones of their first two albums. It's all in there… Funhouse, Dog, T.V. Eye, etc. I tried to balance the tonality to work well with both Humbuckers and Strats, finding that middle ground of biting Fuzz without being too harsh or lacking character in either application. The result is a powerful & biting tone that has great sustain and definition.
These are all hand wired with high quality, through hole components and are true bypass. Under the hood are a pair of vintage new stock Mullard OC139 Germanium transistors, tested and biased for each pedal. Carefully wired into a hammond wedge enclosure built exclusively for Daredevil, these are made to deliver the best in raw retro fuzz action for decades to come.
A portion of every sale goes to the Ron Asheton Foundation www.ronashetonfoundation.org
The Real Cool Fuzz has NPN germanium transistors and will work with either 9V batteries or a DC power brick. You can definitely do the 'starving battery' trick with these and lower the voltage for some added destruction. If you put a buffered bypass pedal in front, it may alter the tone.
