-------------- 2022 -------------- 12.12. I'd like to proudly announce that my long awaited take on Fuzz Face, called Diamond has been finished, and you can order it. ---------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram and Facebook.
---------------------------------- Al Anderson of The Wailers (Bob Marley) had heard the Bananaboost somewhere in L.A. and he promptly ordered one for himself :) These beautiful moments are absolutely worth all the sweat. ----------------------------------
Howdy! You can pay in USD if you please, and with a pretty friendly conversion rate :) The majority of my customers have been Americans and so this may help you guys.
-------------- 2018 --------------
23.4. I am very happy to announce that i've got four pedals in "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets". Garry Kemp is occasionaly rocking his Moon Vibe MkII, and Lee Harris uses Pig Hoofs and Bananaboost. I saw the band in Lipzig, the sound was amazing (it made me feel very, very proud).
-------------- 2016 --------------
23.9. Lee Harris of The Blockheads is a happy Pig Hoof MKII owner.
Pig Hoof is a replica of the Big Muff П (BMP) model, that was manufactured by Electro Harmonix around the mid 70s under the nickname "Ram's Head". As David Gilmour devoted fan, i was just obliged to make my own Ram's Head clone. David purchased his model in around 1975 in Manny's, NY. In 1977 (during the Animals tour) the Ram's became his main distortion pedal, retiring the old silicon Fuzz Face for good. Since i was lucky enough to put my fingers on an original 70s Ram's Head unit, i used that opportunity to gradually tweak the sound of our own prototype, so that it eventually sounded identical to the old guy.
If you are into the Big Muff history we advise you to visit this brilliant and comprehensive Kitrae's site.
I also offer a sound variant known as Pig Hoof MkII.
Original units used by: David Gilmour, Santana, Black Keys and tons of the other heroes
Controls: Volume, Tone, Sustain
Contemporary trend: LED, DC socket, True Bypass ON/OFF foot switch
Reviews
Matt Sorum of Guns'N'Roses owns our Pig Hoof and Moon Vibe MkII.
Pleasant features:
9V battery is included inside, and accessible via fancy, old-fashioned battery door
4 removable rubber feet
true bypass switching that won't pop
foot switch by Cliff
low capacity jack sockets by Cliff
extremely durable battery clips by Cliff
top quality Panasonic Low Voltage capacitors where needed
thick wires for the maximum sound fidelity and overall durability
firm and durable internal design
Powering:
9V battery or power adapter (50-100mA at minimum)
DC socket for a standard 5.5/2.1 mm barrel jack, positive on the barrel, negative inside
The battery life will be extended by unplugging the input jack when the pedal is not in use. Plugging in a DC jack also disconnects the battery and saves its life.
