WEHR - Fuzz-Tone

part of the latest fuzzologic gossip on possible historic relations between the Rosa Nu-Fuzz, the Sierra Nu-Fuzz, the WEHR Fuzz-Tone and their predecessor, the Mosrite Fuzzrite, by Ed Skymall.

Fuzzix is a bad cat !

This fuzz pedal is very vintage sounding. It sounds more like a fuzzrite than a Fuzzface : agressive, thin, full of acid.

Aul Instruments - Fuzz

"Early Mike Matthews action after he took over the production of the Guild Foxey Lady. Manufactured by Aul Instruments in 1967 just before Mike launched EXH."

Ed Skymall: "What's funny is that it's a siliconFuzzrite (predating the Mosrite silicon version) with a tone control, but then Roasc came out with the Nu Fuzz which was essentially the same idea."

MICA-TONE - Fuzz, Orpheum - Fuzz

"c1967 germanium lovelies, from a mystery NY/NJ source - they are sort of based on the first generation Fuzzrites with 0.1 capacitors."

Guild - Foxey Lady

"around 1986. Thick and expressive fuzz, loves P90’s and Fender pickups. Found it in the trash."

"From what it's looking like now, the most probable timeline is AUL Fuzz > AUL Foxey Lady > Mosrite Foxey Lady > EHX Foxey Lady. The inside of your pedal should essentially be the guts of a Mosrite Fuzzrite, not a typical Foxey Lady.

And while it predates the Big Muff, the circuit has basically no relation to the Big Muff, and they were both designed by two different people ...

I really believe the AUL fuzz existed before Guild got involved, and then after they did you start seeing the ones with the "Foxey Lady" logo. Also the Mosrite version is basically a silicon Fuzzrite, but in 1967 Mosrite was still making germanium Fuzzrites, and the Sprague modules didn't show up until even later. ...

my theory is that they were unable to keep up with demand in the AUL days, so Guild hired Mosrite for a run of Foxeys. And for whatever reason (cost of shipping, Mosrite heading for bankruptcy) Guild went back to Matthews who now had EHX and more of a capacity to fulfill orders at the numbers they needed" - Ed Skymall

Pro - SUZZZZ FUZZZZ

“...is a crazy anomaly. I've only ever seen 2. I don't know where they came from though. I'd guess California, and possibly bought Mosrite's leftover stock when they stopped making the Fuzzrite - The Fuzzrite is a 2 transistor circuit. The Pro Suzzzz Fuzzzz has 3 transistors. ”
