Germanium Fuzz pedal AC128 By Benrod
1 volume
One fuzz
True Bypass Hand made
PSU 9v battery, I put a personal adapter and I plug in my box SUP
not led to activation

UTILIZATION

I plug everything in front just before the Wah Wah, I also have the Light my Fire Benrod (boost + buffer) before it so there not like the sound stutters after the compression pedal like before it is super lame, casually pedal is a bit temperamental

SOUND QUALITY

The Fuzz in itself sounds dull with a lot of bass is limited draft, the basic settings do not allow carved sound for a good report must start with a basic drive, because clean c ' is not terrible, I personally have a Fender Deluxe 65 and do cruncher must go ... therefore the drive I'm not going far I took the Can of Cream Benrod and there is a butcher cut the cream and allow to push the pedal and out subtleties ... much more interesting than the Classic Screamer Benrod with a strat I found out the sound Hendrix was the pure juice of the 70s, and this is the warm fuzz (germanium) found pushing Vooodoo Chile carefree
Otherwise the fuzz reacts to the volume and dynamics of the amp, tested for power attenuator, more attention is attenuated and the fuzz will give bad result, you need to know to make concessions and find the right balance, your dosage direct impact

OVERALL OPINION

I had the Dunlop Hendrix Fuzz Face not shit without ... I also Bonamassa Fuzz many say it's not the same product ...
The one, true and only Fuzz is that with AC128 here by the small flat against the color "red" there is too much pedal with this color is soulant, they would have to change make it black with red writing ... I quibble on aesthetics but hey, its against him by then there is no regret ...

Germanium Fuzz pedal carefully repeating the pattern of legendary FUZZFACE, manufactured according to the scheme of the 60s ... I was not good ... then we will trust them ... (Dixit their site ...)
My model is the AC128, which is the "Hendrix" ... It's true bypass, so the effect is not switched colors not sound.
The features are very simple Input / Output Volume / Fuzz ... That's it ... As in the 60's ...
Warning very important point, only works Pile, Germanium oblige.
I read here and there that it was recommended to use a carbon zinc battery, so I reported here ... I have not tested, it is not the type of batteries found in Monop the corner ...

UTILIZATION

There are only two buttons ... Volume and Fuzz, so use level is not much to report ... Si .. Avoid mittens ... otherwise it RAS ...
It is of course vintage ... at the time that we had to edit ... patching ... save ... to have multi multi effects ... we wanted to make the least possible buttons ... Then the Red Fuzz copy her big sister ... 2 buttons, and that's fine ...

SOUND QUALITY

I play a strat reissue 62 and a Marshall JVM 410H or JTM1. It sounds really Fuzz Vintage is very fat and heavy, but it remains accurate.
It is in the register Benrod ad ... Back to the 60's. Not to say ... Back to Hendrix But it is still the idea watermark ...
Fuzz setting allows you to play more or less the thickness of the effect, but I must admit that below 75% (or 15 hours), I find that it loses too much for it to be usable .. . And 50% below the frieze ca weird ... While between 75% and 100% is the nirvana (not the band! Kif!), Big round ... ca drool as necessary and sends ca very heavy! On single coils is any expression of the Fuzz, and that is what should be the Fuzz in the sense that I've always heard!
Volume adjustment brings more nuance (always with the gain above 75%), it balances the volume of the amp. So if I want to go out on a solo mix for example, I put in 65% (around 13h), if I want it to be at the same level so I put it at 40% (around 9am) and then j ' I just grain Fuzz ... it is not to be perfect above my original signal.
Really cool setting also put everything thoroughly, and lower the volume level of the guitar ... And there is yet another sound perspective that opens to us ... It has all the warmth of the pedal, without the large output level is exhilarating! and then we just "open" button with the guitar and to share the good fat distortion Fuzz!
I love it!
However I tested with a Gibson LP Classic (always the same amps), and here I am less convinced ... It is less accurate, and ca drooling, but not in the good sense ... But I'm not too stressed with this guitar ... So to test if you play humbucking ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 4 years, bought and sold, and missed, then bought, and never separate me ..
I have long played a Fuzz Factory, which is funny when you're 16 years old and many buttons on the figure on the pedal, but I've never managed to make it sound ... it sounds too modern (but at the same time, this is for!), I also tested 2/3 other fuzz (Boss, Mxr, Digitech, Metal Muff and others ...), and I confess n ' have never been filled with the Red Fuzz.
Hard to find fault, even the battery that may put at first, especially for those who brancheraient on a pedal board, but I saw that changes every six months, it does not really bother ... (And I use quite intensive!).
This pedal is in my set, and do not move for a while longer and longer!
Used for € 80 ... What are you doing still reading this test instead of going to buy one!!

For me the best Fuzz market (manufacturing and French!)

Germanium fuzz pedal AC128.
True bypass.
Switch silent.
Battery operation only.
Could be more compact in size.

UTILIZATION

Easy adjustments.
The intensity of the effect is from the volume of the guitar.
Escalation is very impressive.
A 7/10 at the guitar knob gives an excellent overdrive.

SOUND QUALITY

It's gorgeous!
Hot, very bassy, ​​sustain huge, beautiful grain.
Strat with humbuckers in a custom amp JMH typed his fender.
With a Tele bridge pickup also is great!

I take this opportunity to share with you qq advice to fully appreciate:

The position tjrs early effects chain. (Even before the wah)
Use batteries carbon / zinc, not alkaline! - The difference is really audible.
Unplug the jacks input / output after each use: the battery after 3 months of solicitation tjrs shows no sign of weakness.
Setting fuzz background intensity is adjusted to the volume of the guitar alone.
The volume pedal to 2 hours.
Appreciates a good amp pushed in volume, slightly crunchy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months.
Good ratio q / p (bought secondhand)
It will stay on my pedal board a long time!
Of pleasure, really!!

Two effects are currently available: Red and Classic Fuzz Screamer.
The Red Fuzz is a replica of the Dallas Arbiter of 1966. Three components are proposed to "customize" your pedal: AC 128 (the sound of Hendrix), Mullard OC75 (more acidic) and Mullard OC44 (a variant of the above). Nothing but beautiful world!
It is almost insulting to have to clarify that it is analog. So no USB interface with database Rack Midi via a scart lead. Input / Output, that's all folks!
Beware, however. This pedal only eats 9V batteries. Why? Just because the fuzz is generated by the electrical signal. Sends an electric battery power only by "intermittently" (sometimes the signal is strong, sometimes it is low). This is so that at times it seems that the sound crackles and cuts (especially in the bass).

UTILIZATION

Two knobs: Volume and Fuzz. Does it develop?

SOUND QUALITY

After looking at the manufacturer, I opted for the AC 128. And then my friends slap LA. "Back to the sixties in the Swinging London".
My Telecaster still can not, but when I plugged my SG ('67 Reissue with P90)
ouch, ouch, ouch ... To get a clearer sound replay WildThing who you know, the live at Monterey. Then, connect the Red Fuzz ... all the same. Of course this pedal to better performance at high volume.
For the settings I put the two knobs to 75%, and I only use the clean channel of the Peavey Classic 30. The volume knob is adjusted according to that of your amp. But even the fuzz at the bottom, there is always this well rounded, thick, which does not bleed. The agreements open the tetrads are welcome.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for a week, but I won. So, I bought the Classic Screamer (see my review this poduit in these pages. If you are interested of course).
If you like the sound "was better before", that's all right. For others, I guarantee you a jump in time but not in quality manufacturing. Everything is carefully machined. In addition Benrod people (hello to Rudolph) are very friendly.
I recommend this pedal to anyone who wants to relive in their own way, the magic of those years have written the most pages in the history of rock, and gave us one day, want to be like.
All this comes in the box with the pedal, no extra charge: 120 € TTC. Prices generally found in all good dairies.

Classic Fuzz effect. down on a good old fuzz face the mid 60's.

Benrod is a French Irish, the pedals are made in Europe with components really great quality, I think they are manufactured in Ireland!

Analogue of course, we have seen that gives a digital fuzz ... no comment I was thinking was the boss of course, price or is, taking as a true pedal!

a box type BB, input, output, control gain and volume and a switch to activate the whole.

a control we can choose the transistors or AC128 or OC44, a choice of gains, I'd really know what happens in OC44, I used the Treble Booster, but never in the fuzz! AC128 is mine, and that's quite what I wanted!
No status LED or DC Jack, I do not mind personal absolutely not, but it repels certain, and that uses a fuzz frankly, it does not kill anyone to disconnect jack! ca s'modifie issue and led well!

UTILIZATION

Easier it die, so be careful to clean boost or treble boost another they may be dangerous hahaha!

Question regalges we find a control gain and volume, if we do not know to use it, you have to ask very serious questions.

Use questions ... plug and play! let's freak!

Comes with manual!

SOUND QUALITY

I can not make good the damage 15/10.

Indeed ULTRA effective! Simply a fuzz, it fits into a jack ca go out in HP and that viva the 60's! so it's a fuzz face down on a Fuzz, fuzz face and it sounds pure and hard, its not smooth or too fuzz plan plan, it is entitled to an aggressive fuzz, but not as much as the fuzz Tonebender the example, it is still quite creamy, after all depends on your regalges, but the versions of the ultra smooth fuzz face that you can test are just bad copies of Fuzz face changed.

I play on Start, Custom Matamp and 212 in Greenbacks. I found it simply the sound of the first LP of Jimi Hendrix! squarely at the sound of Manic Depression. She is very powerful when the gain is a bottom, lowering the volume of the guitar gives a great crunch, lowering even more beautiful clean! is a short fuzz genial!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several weeks now, I shall not change for anything, I have given in a lot of fuzz, as Dunlop (crappy) home made, tone bender, Fulltone etc etc, and it with this one I found the sound that you got when I was 11 while listening to Jimi Hendrix for the first time!

Report quality great price, and very easily can contact the manufacturers, they are really very good and very nice! and for once we can speak with a french manufacturer of pedals, we avoid banging a shame to try to speak English (yeah bah we learn so much English in our schools here ... huhu)

Anyway I remake this choice not hesitate yes sir!

Fuzz pedal analog handmade made in France ...

UTILIZATION

2 knobs (volume and fuzz), as saying that the doc is to look pretty ...

SOUND QUALITY

Its super super hot fuzz.
Certainly meets best with single coils, but also works with doubles.

OVERALL OPINION

The peculiarity is that it sounds really deadly, the big fuzz hot and slobbery with any bottom, or a bit grotty little crunch when you decrease the volume.
It's a fuzz face in all its glory, do not ask him anything, it's still a fuzz which is a little dirty but that is perfect in its field.
A master stroke made in France
