Legendary fuzz in great shape with box, protective bag, and swag. The Catalinbread Germanium Fuzzrite is a faithful recreation of the rarest Mosrite fuzz ever built — a short-run germanium version produced between 1966 and 1968, with original designer Ed Sanner estimating that only about 250 units ever left the factory.While most vintage Fuzzrites you'll find on the second-hand market run on silicon transistors, Catalinbread voiced this pedal directly from an original germanium unit in their collection. The result is warmer, smoother, and more harmonically complex than the silicon version — without losing any of that raw, bristling '60s snarl.The added Mode toggle is the only modern departure: flip it to Modern and the low-end opens up considerably, making this work beautifully with humbuckers and contemporary rigs. Includes a polarity inverter IC so it plays nicely on any standard 9V daisy chain."Catalinbread adds muscle to an underrated but classic fuzz circuit... injecting power chords with throaty, muscle-car mass topped with just the right amount of '60s rasp. The marriage of vintage and meatier, contemporary fuzz personalities pays big dividends." — Premier Guitar"Expect a somewhat smoother fuzz tone [compared to the silicon version]. The germanium model is the rarer of the two designs, making this modern-day recreation a welcome addition." — Gear News"The silicon variant is somewhat spiky and in-your-face. The Germanium plus the Modern Mode switch soften it up and add further subtle harmonics — a wider and more flexible tonal range." — Guitar Pedal
