All distortion pedals can trace their roots to the legendary Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, and this is the product that recreates that famous sound. Taking its name from the atomic number of germanium(32), the Moollon Fuzz Thirty Two faithfully produces the warm, condensed sound of the original germanium transistor fuzz pedal of the late to mid-1960s.
NOS OC44K transistors, original spec capacitors, and individually selected carbon composition resistors are tested one by one, and along with using original spec wiring, the Moollon Fuzz Thirty Two is complete with the most authentic vintage fuzz sound since the original Fuzz Face.
In addition to staying true to the original circuitry and true bypass switching, an LED
light has been added to the housing and the circuitry wired to specially fit into a
nicely compact-sized casing to ensure user convenience, all found in a beautiful pedal exterior.
The Fuzz Thirty Two is a very limited production item, making use of metal cover type NOS
OC44K transistors, which were the original replacement part for the OC44 glass-type germanium
transistor (used on the Moollon Limited Edition Treble Boost).
A characteristic of all germanium transistors is that they do not operate their optimum at
lower temperatures, so special care must be taken to keep the pedal at a consistently warm
temperature when under operation. Requires a 9V battery or center-positive DC 9V external power source.
