WHORES Fuzz Factory
WHORES Fuzz Factory
This special edition Fuzz Factory was made in collaboration with WHORES. not only via the artwork, but also with circuit calibration. Both parties were wanting to do something slightly different from the standard unit. We sent a prototype to Christian with socketed transistors and a few different ones for him to try. He hadn’t really connected with the alternate semiconductors that we sent along, but then I came across a stash of 1960s “Rootbeer Barrels” aka RCA 2N1384 germaniums at our local Ax-Man surplus store. Upon trying them in a Fuzz Factory myself and thinking they sounded pretty lovely, I called Christian and exclaimed, “I think we have the magic sauce!” We sent a gain matched pair over for him to try, he concurred, and I went back to buy the small lot available. Now you’re playing ‘em! Enjoy!
This is a five-knob fuzz. Although the five knobs are named for the parameters over which they seem to have the most control, please don’t hold me to it. They are controls for various operating levels and biases, and basically shape you a personalized fuzz.
