Fuzz and Treble Booster
Unleash the raw power of vintage American fuzz with the Crown Fuzz and Treble Booster! This compact pedal packs a one-two punch, blending a thick, aggressive fuzz tone with a searing high-frequency boost - a winning combination that has graced the rigs of countless iconic guitarists. At the heart of this pedal lies the legendary Applied Audio Products Inc. fuzz circuit, an early transistor-based design that delivers a wonderfully gritty, midrange-heavy distortion. Crank the Fuzz knob and let the harmonics soar, as the circuit's unique character shines through with each riff and chord. But the Crown doesn't stop there - the independent Treble control acts as a powerful boost, adding clarity, bite, and cut to your tone, perfect for slicing through the mix during lead passages. Combining these two effects gives you an incredibly versatile sound palette, from thick, saturated fuzz to searing, high-gain leads. Early examples of the Crown even feature a handy battery test lamp and a dedicated on/off switch for the treble boost, adding functionality and flexibility to this already impressive package. Housed in a rugged metal chassis and built with the meticulous, point-to-point craftsmanship that defined Applied Audio's New Jersey workshop, the Crown Fuzz and Treble Booster is a true tone machine - a piece of history that can still hold its own against modern pedals. Plug in, dial it in, and unleash the raw, uncompromising power of vintage American fuzz.
