Crimson King - 21st Century Fuzz Machine
The ARC Effects Crimson King is a modern marvel that pays homage to the legendary "Buzz" fuzz pedal, a highly coveted relic from the golden age of guitar tone. At its core, this pedal boasts a trio of meticulously matched germanium transistors, carefully selected to deliver a captivating range of vintage and contemporary fuzz sounds.
