MXR® CLASSIC 108 FUZZ
M173
The Classic 108 Fuzz features the guts of our BC-108-loaded Fuzz Face® Distortion with modern MXR upgrades and a Buffer switch so that it plays well with wahs.
This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
- Rich, warm analog tone
- Late '60s/early '70s crunch
- The guts of our BC-108-loaded Fuzz Face in a more pedal-board friendly shape
THE LONG STORY
Guitarists of all styles will dig the familiar late-Sixties/ early-Seventies crunch delivered by the new MXR Classic 108 Fuzz. We've taken the guts of our BC-108 loaded Fuzz Face, placed them in a more pedal-board friendly shape, and added the modern conveniences of a battery door, optional AC operation, and true bypass with LED. The Buffer switch eliminates the audible oscillation caused when some wah-wahs are placed in front of a Fuzz Face. The Classic 108 Fuzz comes in a heavy-duty Phase 100-sized box with a sweet hammertone turquoise finish.
CONTROLS
- VOLUME knob controls overall effect volume
