Keeley Electronics Limited Release Black Glass OC44 Edition British Fuzz Effect Pedal
Extremely Limited – Ultra Rare Mullard OC44 transistor circuit delivers thick fuzz effects
Our hand crafted, modernized MKIII style British fuzz circuit now available in a limited run with VERY rare British made Mullard OC44 black glass transistors. These transistors are pulled from a very small batch from Robert Keeley’s private stock. They have slightly more gain and produce more fuzz than the OC81 version.
What did we do to the Black Glass OC44 Edition to make this a Neo-Vintage twist-up of the Mark III? We gave it a power supply inversion so that you can just connect it to your Voodoo Lab style power supply. Nive volts, Negative tip like any other modern effect pedal. Here’s where it gets good though, with a cleaver modification to the fuzz and tone controls we were able to allow a wealth of tone and harmonics through. This unique mod is something you just won’t get in any other fuzz..until it’s copied…
Plus, who has real-deal, early Mullard OC44’s just dying to be put in a well crafted effects pedal? We do. Keeley Engineered to sound their best.
The simply sound out of this world. It is simply one of the best fuzzes out there. – Robert Keeley
If you crave vintage fuzz and have to have perfection, this is it.
We will try to ship all units within 7-10 business days.

Update 4/13/2015 – Added a few more OC44 Black Glass transistor models. Only a handful more are going to be made.
