Watch in HD for best sound

(Paired with a Wah at the 5:41 minute mark)

Say hello to the Bluebird fuzz from Henretta Engineering. This is the pedal that was the prize for the FBG Scavenger Hunt. It was on the third page of the fuzz pedals on the Fat Tone Guitars website and if you check, my mug still resides under the pedal :) Congrats to our winner, Stephen Scott.

She may be small, measuring in at 2 x 2, but she still packs quite a fuzz punch. It's size always it to fit on even the most crowded pedal board. This is a no nonsense fuzz in every sense. There are no controls... the fuzz is either on or off. However, if the output sounds a little low, there is an internal trim pot to adjust the output volume. Because there are no knobs, you don't have to spend hours dialing in tones and trying every single option that you can. It's kind of a relief. You just plug it in and go. No struggling, no driving yourself nuts. It's probably the most user friendly fuzz you'll ever lay your hands on.

Many viewers ask me to recommend a fuzz that delivers classic sounding fuzz but doesn't get out of control and still remains musical..... well, here you go. The Bluebird also works great when paired with a Wah. Now, this fuzz is only available through authorized Henretta dealers, but you can check out their website for some of the other tiny pedals they offer :)

The immediate question, that pops up in my mind is, what will happen if you put to of these together?!! Or three?!

[FuzzBoxGirl]

@hellomynameisscen Now that is an awesome idea! I wonder if they would play well together?

[viccolfari2canibals]

what is a price ? please

[FuzzBoxGirl]

@viccolfari2canibals Well, I haven't seen many other dealers... so, I only know of Fat Tone Guitars... and they sell it for $115.

@kevinhifi Why not make a tiny preset fuzz? I bought a M15A. The foot switch was lost, and some depressingly suicidal guy named John had it semi restored on a tight budget. The case for the footswitch is just an oddball skinny shape that is useless. I use steel "monkey bowls with cottage cheese lids for footswitches. The old box will work for a fuzz/octave with a .75Hy coil + xtra gain in/out as the second foot switch. I am doing the full wave rect thing into an X former but neg case gnd.

@Satchmoeddie The Bluebird has a TL082 in it.

Who's wah pedal? What is in this? 4558? JRC is famous, but is is also cheap! Motorola 4558/5558 MC-TO series in the TO cans blow away the DIP8 case op amps. Unless you live where Motorola made and dumped the old early USA made stuff into boxes of surplus misc repair parts for a myriad of products GOOD LUCK finding them! I would put a power pole (Wiremold) Velcro pad on these Bluebirds, or stick it inside the guitar. It is small enough.

Kinda reminds me of Dan Armstrong's old pedals, but smaller. Now I know what to do with the joke ass tiny foot pedals some twit made for a Magnatone M15A Stereo amp, which I restored to factory 7189A tubes from some halfwit EL84 mod. I did bump the preamp gain so it has balls more like the old 480 Magna pre Estey 6973 powered amps. The 6973 is what we hear on Zeppelin I and II in Jimmy Page's Supro 1624T. The Supro sounds kinda cool before going to tape, but F'ing magical afterword!

killer sustain indeed. That little bastard sounds great!

[AvonJunkies]

Any chance you'll demo the green zapper as well?

[AvonJunkies]

This sounds amaze-balls
