Hartman Electronics Releases The Vintage Germanium Fuzz Effects Pedals

February 08, 2007

Hartman Electronics announces release of its Vintage Germanium Fuzz pedal available in two flavors, both using vintage NOS (new old-stock) Germanium transistors: NKT-275 version US$179.99; AC128 version US$139.99.

The Hartman Vintage Germanium Fuzz pedals are 100% Germanium fuzz based on one of rock's seminal effects: the original 1960's Arbiter Fuzz Face™. Frequently requested mods are available including internal bias/trim, input level trim, and the fabled "Hendrix" mod.

Each fuzz features heavy-duty true-bypass switching, ON/OFF LED indicator, external 9VDC power in jack. Transistor pairs are bench-tested and thoroughly auditioned to assure low noise, proper gain, and thermal stability. Printed circuit board construction features premium-quality components and 5% carbon-composition resistors like the original. Assemblies are meticulously grounded and shielded in a rugged metal enclosure to eliminate RF interference.

Hartman Electronics pedals are made in the USA. Each unit ships with a new 9V Carbon Zinc battery and carries a 1 year limited warranty.
