The Ibanez 850 Fuzz Mini is a compact mini-enclosure fuzz pedal from Ibanez, part of the revival of classic Ibanez vintage fuzz designs. The original Ibanez 850 was produced in the late 1970s as one of the early Japanese fuzz designs, and the 850 Fuzz Mini reissues this vintage fuzz circuit in a compact modern enclosure. The 850 fuzz delivers a warm, vintagy fuzz character suited to classic rock and blues applications where vintage Japanese fuzz tone is the goal.
The ThorpyFX Old Timer is a boutique vintage-voiced overdrive pedal from ThorpyFX of Northallerton, UK, delivering warm, characterful vintage overdrive inspired by classic overdrive circuits in ThorpyFX's exceptional premium hand-built quality.
