A dual channel fuzz / boost pairing two 1960’s Dallas Arbiter circuits in one box.
The boost channel is a meticulous reproduction of Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster. This circuit features an added EQ switch to select from three EQ settings and remains true to the original in the “high” setting.
The fuzz channel is a component-accurate reproduction of the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face featuring a curated selection of 60’s and 70’s germanium transistors (options below). The circuit is true to the original with the addition of an external bias control that allows the user to fine tune the texture and cleanup of the circuit.
Stack both sides for a uniquely twangy and articulate clean up when rolling back the guitar volume. Set the bias low for cleanest clean-up.

Mullard GET / 1974 Texas Instruments - a hybrid pair of Mullard and Texas Instruments germanium transistors manufactured in the UK. Medium-high gain.
Mullard OC / Mullard GET - a hybrid pair of 1960’s Mullard transistors. Low gain. Excellent clean-up.
New Market NKT / New Market NKT - a close cousin of the New Market NKT275 transistor used in the earliest runs of Fuzz Faces. These early 60’s New Market transistors are highly regarded for their touch sensitivity and harmonic complexity.
This product uses vintage PNP transistors which require an isolated supply when using the 9VDC jack. Internal battery snap available by request. <15mA current draw.
