Note: The transistors listed do vary depending on availability.
'Cream' - Germanium Boost
Inspired by the legendary Dallas Rangemaster that defined the sound of British rock, the Germanium Boost is the secret weapon for pushing a tube amp into glorious saturation. It adds bite, clarity, and harmonic richness that cuts through any mix.
While faithful to the original 1960s topology, this pedal is engineered for the modern player. Unlike vintage units that added a bit of noice, required batteries or isolated power, this build features a low noice negative ground circuit. This means you can power it with your standard 9V DC center-negative adapter and even daisy-chain it with your other pedals without issues.
Transistors: Loaded with hand-tested vintage options including OC71, OC44, OC45, OC613, 2N1307 etc.
Versatility: Available with either a Range Switch (Treble/Full) or a Variable Blend Knob for precise low-end control.
The price for these is approximately 1,200 SEK (~130 USD / 111 EUR). However, this may vary depending on the parts used.
Fuzz Face/(T)Bender Mk 1.5
A PTP hand-wired tribute to the most iconic fuzz circuit in history. Available in both Germanium and Silicon transistor configurations, The Fuzz Face circuit offers the classic roar you expect with the control you need. The Tbender Mk 1.5 version is a bit higher biased and cuts a bit more low end, making it cut through the mix a lot easier. This version of the circuit is often preferred among humbucker players.
Controls: Volume, Pre-Gain (Input Trim/Fuzz intensity), and Bias (Transistor voltage).
Transistors: Popular choices are AC128, OC44/45, OC71, Mp20/41/42 or Gt402.
Power: Positive ground. Require a fully isolated power source.
The price for these is approximately 1,600 SEK (~175 USD / 150 EUR). However, this may vary depending on the parts used.
(T)Bender Mk1
The MKI (t)Bender is widely considered the "Holy Grail" of fuzz, but it is also one of the most difficult circuits to get right. It requires precise balancing of high-leakage germanium transistors to achieve that signature sound.
Here, I don't take shortcuts. By painstakingly audition and bias every transistor trio by ear. Mostly using period correct NOS components, often including the coveted OC-series transistors and vintage capacitors, to ensure your pedal sounds as good as possible.
Controls: Volume and Attack (bias).
The price for these is approximately 2,000 SEK (~ 218USD / 195 EUR). However, this may vary depending on the parts used.
Custom Orders, one-offs & Small Batches
Alltough the above listed pedals are mostly produced. I also build variants of other vintage units such as the Fz-1(a), Burns Baldwin Buzzaround, The Zonk Machine, (T)Bender MKII or the Schaller Fuzz. However, I am allways open for suggestions and will consider them if you have an idea for a custom order.
