Ever played an original FuzzFace from around 1970?. If you put the "Fuzz" on 10 you will rip, and you might get all sorts of oscillation and weirdness. but that's Rock. Don't try using it with a wah wah. you can't, and neither could Jimi, without it screaming and howling.

About this product

Product Information

The Fulltone 70-BC Fuzz Guitar Effect Pedal resonates with the iconic '60s vibe that dominated Woodstock and was a hallmark of Jimi Hendrix and other legends of the era. Blasting the fuzz on this unique pedal will intensify your guitar tracks while adding depth of tone and originality to your solos.This powerful piece of gear is hand-built in California by the skilled designers at Fulltone and is a reissue of the brand's original Fuzz model. This pedal now comes in a smaller OCD-style chassis which makes the unit far more portable and easier to store among your assorted guitar accessories. Don't let the size fool you, however, because this baby packs a lot of fuzz thanks to its unique configuration of silicon transistors. It is easy to use with a simple interface. Just connect your instrument and amp, and get ready to let the '60s come on in. Volume, power, and total tonal control are at your disposal. The silicon transistor setup includes two components that are purposely mismatched. The result is a snarling growl of perfection that explodes with the awesome '70s Fuzz Face tone. When cranked all the way up to ten, the oscillation and weirdness of the tone can be just as psychedelic as the 60's signature sound. A significant benefit of using this setup is also great harmonics. Some guitarists prefer silicon transistors over germanium units because silicon offers a harsher fuzz and more gain.Eric Johnson lent his own blue Fuzzface pedal to the designers at Fulltone so that they could replicate the unique tones and audio output for the 70-BC. With such inspiration in the mix, it is no wonder this pedal offers so much warmth. It sounds especially good with older model 4-input Marshall amps, but almost all amplifiers will produce great fuzzes with the help of this unit. There is also a mid-control in this new version of the old effects pedals produced by Fulltone, and that control is the newer model's secret weapon. It allows your great sound to really come through in the mix, providing added soloing power from your favorite guitars. There are also separate knobs for controlling volume and fuzz, effectively giving you a massive overdrive that has amazing punch when you fire it up through your preferred amp.Some pedals transcend the effects they are geared to provide, and this Fulltone beauty is one of those. It can add color and texture to a sound that is indicative of your own creative abilities. This pedal is art in a box. It meshes well with a wah and other effects pedals, and it sounds great with every guitar. Whether you use it on your favorite Fender or a vintage Gibson, the tones are pure fuzz while retaining distinction across the entire sound canvas from bass to treble. If you like durability in your pedals, the 16-gauge steel housing of this one will put a smile on your face. The durable construction helps to protect the electronics inside. Slap some Velcro to the bottom of this box and you have a compact fuzz pedal that can attach easily to any pedalboard you currently own. It is rugged enough to withstand the rigors of live gigs and aggressive foot tapping.

  • Big box '70 is a sleeper - sounds amazing - awesome value.

    I'm a BIG fan of early Fulltone pedals. The '70 silicon fuzz is a GREAT value. I have it this one and the more costly '69 germanium version. Both sound great. They are a little different. But the '70 is equally useful to me at less than 1/2 the cost.
