One Trick Pony (OTP) Octave Fuzz

$140.00

The OTP or One Trick Pony is a clone of an Ampeg Scrambler with the "Texture" and "Balance" knobs turned all the way up. With these settings, it's good for one thing and one thing only... Octave fuzz. The story behind this pedal is this... Chris Robertson from the band Black Stone Cherry asked me if I'd make him an Ampeg Scrambler clone, except he didn't want any knobs on the enclosure. He said he just turns them both all the way up and he doesn't want to worry about the knobs getting bumped. So, I took some small trim pots and soldered them to the board. This way, the "Texture" and "Balance" can still be adjusted to taste, but you have to take the back of the enclosure off. With the knobs turned all the way up, and on the neck pickup, you get an amazing, fuzzy, octave affect. Think of the solo in Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
