Analogman Peppermint Fuzz

Just yesterday I uploaded a video to YouTube of a recording that I played an electric guitar solo using an Analogman Peppermint Fuzz pedal. This pedal sounds great and has a sound straight out of the 1960's. I've tried other fuzz pedals and they all had peculiarities about them, mainly being that they did not sound all that 'fuzzy'. This one's a keeper though. I won't try to describe the sound because, as the Lovin' Spoonful once sang, it's like trying to tell a stranger about rock & roll. You gotta hear if for yourself!

And that's what the pedal looks like. Resembles peppermint candy. Sadly this great pedal is a discontinued one. Conversely if you have one it can garner you a nice, quick chunk of cash. Currently there is a used one on eBay with a bid of $202 and 3 days to go. I'll keep an eye on it to see what it ultimately sells for.

Analogman pedals always sell for obscene amounts of money. I had two of their King of Tone pedals simultaneously once. I pre-ordered one which took about a year to actually get, and during that time a fellow guitarist sold me his. Luckily I was able to compare his older model with the brand new one side-by-side. I liked the older one a lot better. Difference in sound texture was very noticeable. I immediately sold my new one for nearly double the price I paid. The older one I kept for quite some time before eventually selling it as well. It was a superb pedal and all but I don't play live and I really felt the gain on my Fender Super Sonic gave me all the sound I needed for my recordings. Whoever bought that second one I sold sure got a great sounding piece of work! Hands down beat similar pedals out there by the big names such as Ibanez, Voodoo Labs, Fulltone, Maxon and others.
