Silicon or germanium — each transistor style has left its lasting mark on the Fuzz Face legacy, but why limit yourself to one or the other? The MXR Custom Shop Hybrid Fuzz combines both the raw, ragged sound of a germanium Fuzz Face with the smoother sonics of the later silicon-based Fuzz Face, placing both voices onto a single control for a sweeping range of old-school fuzz ferocity. And while the MXR Custom Shop Hybrid Fuzz may sport but a 2-knob setup of a Volume and Fuzz control, this pedal’s incredibly dynamic response and highly reactive controls deliver everything from screaming psychedelic ’60s leads to grinding wall-of-sound distortion. It’s a loving tribute to and seamless integration of the Fuzz Face’s two most influential iterations, ready to cover all your vintage-style fuzzy needs.
