JHS Legends of Fuzz Berkely 1973 Fresh Fuzz Replica Pedal

In 1973, effects legend Craig Anderton and John Lang launched Seamoon Inc., releasing their flagship fuzz pedal the same year: the Fresh Fuzz. Initially, a fragile plastic enclosure design caused these Bakelite pedals to shatter when guitarists stomped on them, so Seamoon began recasing them in metal enclosures within a few months. Despite inaccurate reviews that the Fresh Fuzz was “thin sounding,” it gained popularity and has been used extensively by artists like Tom Scholz (Boston) and guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson. This is our tribute to the rarer single op amp 741 version (Version 1).

The Berkeley Does Allow for Battery Operation Via a Single 9v Battery. Just Loosen the Two Rear Screws from The Enclosure and The Backplate Will Swing Open. On The Inside You Will See a Battery Clip to Install the Battery Into.
