My assistant Mike asked why bother having a Fuzz or Volume control on a Fuzz Face type circuit since they should both be dimed. I had to agree, The one control is the bias. Mike made a pair of these, one for himself and one for his girlfriend and I thought, oh we must make more. Mike did a great job on these. These will be a limited production run all PTP wired in Ruby Slipper Red! with CV7003 trannies (military version of OC44).

I've had similar ideas before but is the volume an issue??? I ask because I never get my Fuzz Faces volume controls full up...

It's not subtle, it works well as an always on pedal first in line and back the volume off the guitar for your clean tone. This thing cleans up beautifully. I am making point to point Fuzz Faces with three controls Fuzz, Bias, and Volume, I have been doing the finish in Hammerite for those.
