Carl Martin Purple Moon

Hiwatt Custom DR20H

Into the Hiwatt's punchy, British headroom, the Purple Moon's uni-vibe-style fuzz has room to be heard clearly.

Marshall Plexi 1959SLP

The Plexi's aggressive, saturated tube breakup gives the Purple Moon's uni-vibe-style fuzz a genuinely heavier amp voice to push into.

Xotic RC Booster

The RC Booster's clean boost just turns up the volume going into the Purple Moon's fuzz circuit, pushing it harder without changing its character.

Paul Cochrane Timmy

Stack the transparent Timmy ahead of the Purple Moon's fuzz and it just pushes harder into that vintage silicon saturation without adding its own color.

Caroline Guitar Company Somersault

Put the Purple Moon's fuzz first and let the Somersault's glitchy chorus modulate the already-driven signal, instead of the reverse muddying the gain.

Keeley Bassist

Compress with the Bassist before hitting the Purple Moon's fuzz and the attack stays even instead of the fuzz amplifying every dynamic spike.

Walrus Audio Mako D1 High-Fidelity Stereo Delay V1

The Mako D1's vintage stereo delay trails the Purple Moon's uni-vibe-style fuzz with real harmonic content to echo. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Cusack Music Delay TME

Keep the Purple Moon's fuzz ahead of the TME so the delay repeats a tight, already-saturated signal instead of echoing a raw one. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
