1st gen Schaller Ge fuzz

Post by simonm »

a low ebay bid and this is unexpectedly mine - all original including amusing 4PST switch, weird power switching jack, old school cloth covered wire, cool primitive pcb and 2 x AC192s. A woolly Fuzz Face /1.5 type circuit with its own charms. I've seen few grey hammertone ones online, but only no orange ones! German labelling is cool too. I guess it's '67/8?

yeah I forgot to bid, and couldn't believe how little it went for.
I love that crusty old paint job :freakout:
Oh, DB? That's just slang for Dandy Big muff collector.

one reason it didn't get higher is that the seller didn't allow outside UK bidders :bangs head: :gripe:

thanks... but I really thought the seller was going to update to "worldwide" until last moment... and I am a last seconds bidder :marx:
But of course, next time, I'll consider UK mates :tu:
Anyway, good for you Simon :wink2:

Thanks guys!
The enclosure is metal and quite hefty for its size. It still has original knobs and feet etc, which is a rare treat too.
Has anyone seen this style of pcb before? It's almost like a cross between stripboard and a 'real' pcb.
