3699 Fuzz Pedal, DTF1

I've been trying to get the early ZZ Top tone but just couldn't get it. Listening to From Dawn to Dusk on Spotify, I realised Billy Gibbons was using a Foxx Tone Machine. The 3699 is fab, not too noisy, great range of fuzz. Octave is really good, stock switch is fab too. The mid switch gets more of an AC/DC crunch with the fuzz dialled down. Highly recommended if this is what you are looking for.

Seller was great. Communication on point. Great product as well.

This fuzz pedal is a bit of a wild animal. It seems to perform at its best as a standalone pedal, and on its own power supply. Update: I can verify the Snark 9V power supply that Danelectro recommends works great with this pedal, and keeps it sounding consistent. The 3699 doesn’t like compression & eq ahead of it - a little eq afterward is fine. It almost seems to have compression built into the circuit - or that could just be an effect of the circuit components. It’s extremely quiet - when I play power chords and do a palm mute it goes so quiet it sounds like it’s gated. The 3699 not only has options galore in terms of sound shaping, but it’s also affected dramatically by the volume level of your guitar, going from shrieky and spitty to smooth & full as you dial it down. The octave switch is really interesting because the higher octave is barely noticeable but as you hold a note it not only sustains for days, but as the note dies out the higher octave note starts to ring through clear as a bell. Update: Bass guitar sounds incredible through this pedal. I tested a 51 Tele bass with a Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickup and the high octave is loud and clear and very musical when playing in the upper string positions. It’s a great-looking pedal. Someone mentioned the relic look being something that devalues it - I disagree. I like the old-stock auto parts esthetic of it. I think it’s a really cool pedal. I like it.

Einzigarttiges Effekt Pedal

When I plugged my 1959 Les Paul Reissue into this pedal and ran it through my dual amp setup of Vox AC30 and Supro Black Magick the sound was pure 1970s heavy rock. Thick and chunky growling humbucker action with sustain for days. The octave setting is a bit bright and thrashy so you'll need to dial down the treble when using that setting. Otherwise, no complaints - great pedal to add to the collection.

Good old school style fuzz pedal. The fuzz is great, very fuzzy. The mid boost switch and octave are great on top of the regular fuzz. To my ear it’s a great older style fuzz, not so doomy, but that’s not what I wanted so I’m happy
