Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box

Warm Audio · pedal

The Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box is a component-by-component recreation of the 1970s Foxx Fuzz, built around new-old-stock Fairchild 2N3565 germanium transistors with a switch to add an upper octave. It is known for an extremely thick, syrupy fuzz character with long sustain and a texture reviewers compare to analog synth grit on single notes, turning into a wall of saturated sound on power chords. Each pedal is hand-assembled with premium parts to stay faithful to the original circuit rather than a simplified reissue. Its distinctive orange velvet-covered enclosure echoes the original Foxx Fuzzs appearance. Suited to players chasing vintage octave-fuzz tones for psych, classic rock, and stoner rock style lead and riff work.
