The Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation is a germanium fuzz and booster from the Greek boutique manufacturer, using OC41 germanium transistors to produce rich, warm, organic fuzz with the harmonic complexity and dynamic response characteristic of premium germanium fuzz designs. Delivers the classic warm germanium fuzz character associated with 1960s Tone Bender and Rangemaster-style germanium circuits in a handmade boutique format. Made in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits.
The JHS Pollinator is a germanium fuzz pedal from JHS Pedals inspired by vintage Fuzz Face-type circuits of the 1960s, delivering warm, organic germanium fuzz character with natural sustain and touch-sensitive dynamic response. The germanium circuit produces a soft, blooming fuzz quality suited to blues lead, classic rock, and psychedelic styles where vintage germanium warmth is the primary sonic goal. JHS builds the Pollinator with careful transistor selection for optimal germanium performance and consistency.
