Pipergate
FUZZ
DISTORTION
Description
Pipergate is our homage to the guitar tone of the psychedelic rock pioneer Syd Barrett and his sound presumably using the Selmer Buzz Tone booster/fuzz pedal.
While faithful to the three-transistor topology of the original pedal, we have improved the circuit so that today’s guitarists can easily use it on their pedalboards. The pedal runs now on standard DC9V instead of the 3V of the originals.
The improvements include a new function, namely the Buzz knob that allows the user to adjust the bass gain range. Every control went through a little fine tuning from us that now allows a way broader range of tones to be set. The same sound of the original with new possibilities added.
This is a specialty box built around three extremely rare, matched Germanium transistors. It is the imprint of the sound world of an era that does not belong to the mainstream these days.Media
