SOLID GOLD FX 76 MKII

While the Western world was preoccupied with smooth and soulful Fuzz Faces and Muffs, the Orient was bubbling up with gnarly mystical fuzzes, heavily imparted with earthshaking Godzilla DNA. This very distinct era in fuzz history gave us many treasures that have been rightfully crowned fuzz legends: the Univox Super Fuzz, Ibanez Standard Fuzz, Ace Tone Fuzz Master, Shin-Ei Companion and several others.

Just like its predecessor, the SolidGoldFX 76 MKII offers up a comprehensive guided tour to the best that the Standard Fuzz and its ilk has to offer without any of the drawbacks. On face value, the improved 76 MKII gives you a multi-voiced fuzz unit that offers loads of octave-up snarl and clang, at the same time as ruthlessly pummeling your amp with hair and fangs.

Main Features:

• Silicon Octave Fuzz pedal
• Inspired by the Ibanez Standard Fuzz circuit - for maximum fuzz awesomeness
• Uses a JFET Preamp stage and a quartet of high-gain Toshiba transistors (new)
• Octave bypass switch - intended to tame the wild
• Dual independent Texture and Color tone stacks for precision audio sculpting
  • Color control sweeps a low pass filter on the output to tame highs and woolly up the tone
  • Texture control sweeps the mid-range for many flavours of Fuzz
• Soft-touch True bypass switching and top-mounted jacks (new)
• Made in Montreal, Canada
• Powered by 9V DC PSU

Armed with a JFET input and built around a specific set of Toshiba transistors, the 76 MKII’s dual Texture and Color tone controls allow you to precisely sculpt your fuzz while the octave switch allows you to dial back the octaves and overtones for a smoother finish.

All of this translates to a surprisingly varied and delicious fuzz feast, with everything from stabby robotic clangs, synthetic soaring leads, absolutely crushing doom chords as well as more warm and enveloping drives just a single stomp away. 

Topped off with silent, soft touch true bypass switching and top jacks, the 76 MKII is everything you need if you’re looking for a musical yet powerful fuzz capable of leveling Tokyo! Here’s to the new Standard Fuzz.
