'69 Slight Return
The Fulltone '69 Slight Return is a rare and coveted germanium fuzz pedal that takes the classic Fuzz Face formula and elevates it to new heights. Inspired by the iconic fuzz tones of Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, this limited-edition reissue from Fulltone combines the thick, harmonically rich character of a vintage Fuzz Face with a level of tonal flexibility that sets it apart from the competition. At the heart of the '69 Slight Return are hand-selected germanium transistors that imbue the pedal with a warm, organic distortion unlike anything you'll find in a silicon-based fuzz. But what really makes this pedal special are the additional controls that give players unprecedented command over their sound. The Contour knob allows you to sculpt the midrange and harmonics, while the Input Bias control tightens up the low-end "woofiness" or pushes the pedal into full-on overdrive territory. An internal bias trimmer provides even deeper fine-tuning, ensuring that each '69 Slight Return is a uniquely voiced and meticulously crafted instrument. What sets the '69 Slight Return apart, however, is its ability to "clean up" with a roll of the guitar's volume knob - a trick that Hendrix and the Stones famously exploited to achieve a wide range of tones from a single pedal. This versatility, combined with the pedal's rich, dynamic fuzz tones, has made the '69 Slight Return a highly sought-after commodity among discerning guitarists. With only 215 units ever produced, each one a numbered and signed work of art, this is a true collector's item that delivers the goods in spades.
