Catalinbread's Fuzzrite recreates '60s classic
'Splatty, raw and unapologetic' tones back from the dead
By Catalinbread's normal flamboyant standards, its new Fuzzrite's sleek enclosure looks positively restrained. But the Portland, Oregon-based boutique pedal makers promise that it will in fact enable you to recreate the iconic fuzz heard on such rip-roaring period pieces as Iron Butterly's In-A-Gada-Da-Vida and, more recently, in the Black Keys' output.
The newly hand-built unit uses the classic silicon circuit to evoke the original's 'splatty, raw and unapologetic' tones, while adding the option for a 9V power supply.
Catalinbread's Fuzzrite is available now for $149. For more info head over to Catalinbread.
Catalinbread Fuzzrite Features:
- Faithful recreation of the original classic circuit
- Saturated, gnarly, sixties fuzz
- True bypass
- Hand-made in Portland, Oregon, USA
- Accepts standard 9v center-negative power

I'm lucky enough to be MusicRadar's Editor-in-chief while being, by some considerable distance, the least proficient musician on the editorial team. An undeniably ropey but occasionally enthusiastic drummer, I've worked on the world's greatest music making website in one capacity or another since its launch in 2007. I hope you enjoy the site - we do.
