Due to the popularity of the Solar Fuzz™ prototype we have decided to produce a limited run of this pedal.
The McPherson Solar Fuzz™ is a sweet vintage Germanium voiced, silicon fuzz powered by the sun.
The rugged solar panel fixed to the face of the unit charges 2 power cells that store this free energy.
When the pedal is switched from charge mode to play mode (switch at rear of unit) the unit is turned on and the circuit starts to consume the the energy stored in the cells.
There is well over 1500 hours of playing time available from a 45-60 hour charge time, depending on sunlight intensity on the panel.
So… if you perform two 4 hour shows every week it will take just over 3.5 years before you will need to charge the unit again. As long as you remember to flick the rear switch to charge mode after every show (this effectively stops the circuit draining power from the cells)
The Fuzz itself is very versatile and can be achieve a wide range of sweet Vintage inspired Fuzz tones. While backing off the gain will yield a nice chunky overdrive/distortion.
The tone control is designed to tame only the high end frequencies, to smooth out the tone or give it some edge.
This is a unique Fuzz pedal that is utilizes renewable solar energy.
