retroFUZZ
Classic ’60s Fuzz with a Modern Twist
The retroFUZZ from Monkey Riot Pedals takes everything you love about vintage fuzz—raw saturation, touch sensitivity, and gnarly harmonic breakup—and supercharges it for today’s players. Inspired by the iconic Rush Pepbox but pushed into new sonic territory, this two-transistor silicon fuzz is explosive, expressive, and totally unruly (in the best way).
Whether you’re chasing that garage rock bark or sculpting sputtery, gated tones for experimental textures, retroFUZZ puts the feel of ’60s fuzz squarely under your fingers—with way more control than the originals ever offered.
Vintage-Style Controls, Modern Flexibility
-
Volume: Master output with enough gain to drive your amp
-
Fuzz: From gritty growl to full-tilt fuzz mayhem
-
Bias: Starve or saturate the second transistor for smooth compression or glitchy, gated breakup
-
Tone: Shape your highs and upper mids—go from woolly to razor-sharp with a twist
Designed for the Fuzz Purist
This isn’t a digital modeler or a high-gain clone—it’s a hand-crafted fuzz circuit with real mojo. The vintage-style PCB layout even features curved traces, teardrop pads, and exposed signal paths—a nod to classic builds from the golden era of fuzz.
Built to Look as Good as It Sounds
-
Polished aluminum 125B enclosure with bold silkscreen graphics
-
Top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard placement
-
True bypass for uncolored tone when bypassed
-
Powered by 9V center-negative supply (no battery option)
The Verdict
The retroFUZZ is more than a tribute—it’s a modern evolution of a fuzz classic. Whether you’re riding the edge of breakup or diving into gated chaos, this pedal is your ticket to fuzz tones with grit, grind, and a ton of character. It’s vintage at heart, but with just enough control to make it your own.
