Fender Fuzz/Wah

[spartadrive_in]

Can anyone tell me about this? I found this at a garage sale and it was said to be from the 60s.

Any info would be helpful.

thanks!

I remember these. They were not desireable at all back then, but who knows nowadays. They are reissuing crap like the Fender Blender. Look it up on eBay and see what they are going for. Vintage fuzzes are very popular in today's market. But in IMO it was not a very good fuzz or wah.

That version came out in the late sixties. I've got one somewhere around here. Fender used the existing casing from their Vol/Tone pedal. I remember seeing Phil Upchurch demo-ing one at the Fender display at a NAMM show back in the day.

I think that the reason they were not real popular was the goofy side to side pedal action and the non-adjustable fuzz. Yours has an added LED on the fuzz switch. If I remember correctly the wah uses germanium transistors, and the inductor has adjustable core. They don't sound bad, but not like a Fuzz Face and a Vox wah together.
