Catalinbread Fuzzrite Mini
Catalinbread · pedal
The Catalinbread Fuzzrite Mini is a compact version of the Portland boutique builder's faithful reproduction of the classic 1960s Mosrite Fuzzrite fuzz pedal. The Fuzzrite Mini captures the same garage and surf rock fuzz character of the original, built around a two-transistor circuit producing explosive, sputtery fuzz textures. The Depth control blends in a second silicon transistor gain stage for additional body and saturation, extending the range from fat and restrained to fully saturated and aggressive. Occupying a smaller footprint than the full-size Fuzzrite, the Mini suits players wanting vintage 1960s fuzz without the enclosure size.
