Caught By The Fuzz
The Funny Little Boxes Caught By The Fuzz is a vintage-voiced, op-amp based fuzz pedal inspired by the band Supergrass and their song "Caught by the Fuzz." Hand-built in Norwich, England, this pedal delivers a wide spectrum of classic fuzz tones, ranging from '60s sounds to modern high-gain textures suitable for bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. The circuit utilizes an op-amp design and features straightforward Fuzz and Volume controls. A distinctive element is the inclusion of flashing sirens for a fun visual effect. It is a compact stompbox, priced at £99, that runs on a standard 9V DC power supply, drawing a maximum of 11mA. It is celebrated for its wide tonal palette and ability to deliver both aggressive and vintage-style fuzz.
