Product Description
-------------------
The new Foxy Tone Box from Warm Audio is a hyper-accurate
recreation of one of the most sought-after and beloved fuzz
pedals of all time - used in the early seventies by legendary
tone masters Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, and in the present
day by folks like Adrian Belew, Nine Inch Nails and Beck. Covered
in thick velvet just like the vintage pedal, the Warm Audio Foxy
Tone Box faithfully recreates the vintage circuit and brings you
the huge tone, octave-up sounds and look of the originalwithout
having to pay crazy vintage prices! The specific components used
in a pedal circuit are critical to the way that it sounds and
reacts to your playing, so each Foxy Tone Box is assembled by
hand using premium parts. We searched far and wide for a stash of
the correct NOS (“New Old Stock”) Fairchild transistors used in
the original—and then paired them with germanium diodes,
high-watt carbon resistors, and film capacitors to bring the fury
of the vintage pedal to the present day. It’s true bypass, and it
sounds like nothing else on earth! Just like the original, the
Foxy Tone Box features controls for Volume, Sustain, and Fuzz
(from “Mellow” to “Brite”), along with a switch to engage the
pronounced octave effect. From mellow and subdued crunch to
all-out searing fuzz and everything in between, this pedal is a
virtual library of dirt encased in orange velvet! To get started,
keep the Octave switch off and roll the Fuzz to the “Mellow” side
for warm, square-wave distortion. Then engage the Octave effect,
crank the Fuzz to “Brite", and increase the Sustain for
maxed-out, hyper-compressed tones that are barely hanging on for
dear life! Electric guitar is the obvious application, but try it
on synthesizers, drum machines, bass, acoustic/electric, and
more. If you can plug a cable into it, the Foxy Tone Box can add
character you just can’t get anywhere else.
