no. 846 Deluxe Fuzz Tone Expander
Unleash the snarling beast within with the Apollo No. 846 Deluxe Fuzz Tone Expander! This iconic octave fuzz pedal was a key ingredient in the mind-bending tones of 1960s psychedelic rock. Its aggressive, harmonically-rich distortion was a hallmark of the era, heard on countless classic recordings. At the heart of the No. 846 is a vintage Japanese-built circuit that delivers the unmistakable "fuzz face" sound - a touch of grit and compression that gives your guitar a larger-than-life presence. Crank the Expander knob to dial in the perfect amount of fuzz, from a subtle edge to a full-on sonic assault. The two-way Tone switch lets you shape the character, moving from a snarling, pick-sensitive fuzz to a more sustained, singing lead tone. What really sets the No. 846 apart is its octave-up effect, which thickens your sound with an additional harmonic layer. This unique "octave fuzz" voice was a favorite of guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix, who used it to create those mind-bending, psychedelic lead lines. Pair it with a wah or fuzz pedal for even more tonal possibilities. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or seeking to expand your sonic palette, the Apollo No. 846 Deluxe Fuzz Tone Expander is a must-have addition to any pedal collection. Plug in, crank it up, and let the fuzz take you on a trip.
