Roger Mayer Voodoo-Axe Fuzz
Roger Mayer · pedal
The Roger Mayer Voodoo-Axe Fuzz is a fuzz pedal from the British designer whose work with Jimi Hendrix, including the original Octavia, defines his reputation. The Voodoo naming references that Hendrix association directly. Mayer's circuits are built around vintage-accurate germanium and silicon fuzz topologies from the late 1960s rather than modern high-gain voicings. It suits classic rock and psychedelic players seeking period-accurate Hendrix-era fuzz character.
