I'll be building a limited fuzz pedal to go along with this year's PRF BBQ Chicago. The pedals will be $200 ppd in the US ($215 elsewhere) and $100 from each sale will go to charity. The PRF BBQ charity for this event is the Letters Charity providing direct assistance to families facing urgent financial hardship.

Pedal details:

- It is an octave fuzz firmly rooted in the vintage vibe of 60's/70's units (imperfect, erratic, fun!)

- It is, to my knowledge, a unique design blending elements from existing circuits

- It will be in a pedalboard-friendly format with standard LED and 9V external power source, as well as onboard battery

- It will have a cobra on it

This will be largely done on a PRE-SALE basis with up-front ordering and delivery of the completed units within 4-6 weeks of the pre-sale closure. Some extra units *may* be available at the PRF BBQ events, but no guarantees. Ordering is live through June 4th.

Do you know or have you designed any tube amps that have use an inbuilt boost like that.
