Rotosound RFB1 1967 Fuzz Pedal Reissue

Rotosound’s 1967 Fuzz Pedal Reissue is a faithful reproduction of their original 1960s germanium fuzz pedal that was first produced alongside Solasound Tonebender fuzzes and was only ever available in limited numbers at Rotosound’s showroom in London’s Denmark Street. Based on the same circuit as the original design, each Rotosound Fuzz effect pedal is hand-wired with carefully selected components, such as vintage N.O.S. germanium transistors. This meticulous attention to detail helps the RFB1 deliver the same chewy fuzz tones that made the original popular with legends like Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.

Whole lotta fuzz
The original prototype pedals – produced alongside Solasound Tonebender fuzzes – were only ever available in limited numbers and never released for general sales. Nonetheless these pedals were found all over the place – there is even a picture of Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page playing one. This is the only original Rotosound fuzz pedal of the era to be reissued.

Like the originals, each unit is hand-built by audio electronics designer Dave Cherry (Cherry Designs) at Rotosound’s factory in Kent, England, using carefully selected components, bespoke enclosures, and true bypass switching.
