Details

Effectrode Mercury Tube Fuzz Pedal.

The Mercury fuzz pushes vacuum tube technology to its absolute limits for some devastatingly thick and rich fuzz sounds that are not attainable with traditional transistor fuzzes.

This beautiful little pedal is built on a vintage, hand selected, space-grade pencil tube and N.O.S. germanium point-contact crystal diodes.

This combination of hot biased and cold-biased tube gain stages with crystal diode clipping circuitry blends thermionic (asymmetrical) and solid-state (symmetrical) distortions to generate beautiful fuzzed guitar tones.

At full throttle this little pedal can generate outrageous ‘blocking-distortion’ which sounds like a tube amp being pushed beyond it’s limits.

Rolling back the ‘Fuzz’ control creates an immense, bold fuzz tone with endless amounts of smooth liquid sustain that stretches notes into infinity.

At lower fuzz settings the Mercury cleans up to produce natural sounding (real!) tube dirt and overdrive with unprecedented clarity and string-to-string definition. It’s an incredibly simple, yet versatile pedal!

Please note: The Mercury Fuzz is a limited edition pedal. Due to the limited
availability of high quality N.O.S. tubes, Effectrode cannot guarantee continued
production of this pedal for any amount of time.


Effectrode Mercury Tube Fuzz Features:

• 100% pure analog vacuum tube audio path operating at amp plate voltages.

• Flexibility: Stacks of fuzz sounds from devastating over-the-top tube amp ‘blocking distortion’, to classic 70s Page and Clapton fuzz

• Cleans-up very nicely when the guitar volume knob is rolled back to produce warm, tubey drive tones.

• ‘HEAT’ Switch: Allows the second tube stage to be operated at reduced plate voltage (starvation) to generate a wide range of ‘tubey’ fuzz tones.

• Crystal Diodes: A unique cascaded arrangement of vintage germanium crystal diodes gives the Mercury more dynamic range and a rich, complex tone.

• True Bypass: With Effectrode’s unique ‘anti-pop’ footswitching circuitry.

• Fitted with N.O.S Sylvania tube: Each Mercury fuzz is fitted with a N.O.S. Sylvania hand-selected 6112 subminiature tube.

• Dakaware knobs: Authentic phenolic Dakaware, Chicago 1510 knobs custom manufactured for Effectrode in the USA using the original 1940s moulds.

• Includes 12V Wall-wart Power Supply. Accepts 100V to 240VAC mains input and comes with different mains outlet adaptor plugs.
