R2R Electric are on another level when it comes to boutique pedal building! Using the most sought after parts, hand building and making incredible recreations of classic effects.
Built with a combination of recycled vintage components and new old stock parts from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. Each part is carefully tested and matched to the individual pedal as it is built. Because each component is hand selected and tested it means every unit is unique, while still maintaining R2R's signature tones!
The Ge Distorter is a two transistor fuzz, featuring my favorite aspects of both the 1960's germanium Fuzz Face circuit and the 1960's germanium Schaller Fuzz. These two vintage fuzzes were similar in many ways, yet had very distinct tonal differences. The Ge Distorter blends them together into a unique fuzz that sounds like both and neither at the same time.
These fuzzes are extremely reactive to changes of your guitar's volume control. You can get tones ranging from crystal clean, to bright overdrive and all the way to massive fuzz sounds all from rolling back your guitar volume.
Each Ge Distorter features:
Pair of hand selected vintage germanium transistors
*1960's Siemens AC151 / AC121 - while supplies last
Vintage CTS, Stackpole or Centralab potentiometers
Philips, Siemens, or other vintage capacitors
NOS 1960's Piher, Allen-Bradley & Philips resistors
LED on/off indicator
Vintage syle replica circuit board
Marshall style replica knobs
*Due to the design of this vintage fuzz circuit, these pedals work best placed first in your signal chain. These units do not work well with buffers or buffered bypass pedals going into the input. This will cause the effect to sound thin with a significant volume drop*
**These effects can be powered by 9v battery (included) or negative center 9v dc power*
***These pedals need an isolated dc power supply, they can not be daisy chained off of a single 9v power source***
*I have no affiliation with Schaller, Dallas Arbiter or Marshall Amplification. I am using their trademarked names only as a reference to the circuits the Ge Distorter is based on. To see and learn more about the originators of these amazing fuzz pedals, please visit Marshall, Dunlop or Schaller websites
