Peace Maker 70
Unearthed from the obscure depths of 1970s effects pedal history, the Kelco Peace Maker 70 is a unique and captivating relic. This quirky little box packs a surprising punch, blending fuzz, boost, and headphone amplification into a single, compact design. At its core, the Peace Maker 70 delivers a wonderfully dynamic fuzz tone. Twist the sole "Fuzz Control" knob, and you'll uncover a wide range of gritty, harmonically rich distortion - from a subtle, gated crunch to a full-on, face-melting fuzz. But this isn't your average one-trick fuzz pedal. Crank the knob further, and the circuit transforms into a powerful linear boost, adding searing, amp-like gain without compromising your core tone. What makes the Peace Maker 70 truly special, though, is its built-in headphone amp. Guitarists of the 1970s could now enjoy rich, amplified tones in privacy, without disturbing neighbors or bandmates. But don't relegate this pedal to bedroom use - the beefy amp output also makes it a viable option for onstage performance, adding a unique, textured boost to your signal chain. While the Peace Maker 70 may have been a commercial flop in its day, its quirky charm and versatile tone have earned it a cult following among vintage gear enthusiasts. If you're seeking a truly distinctive fuzz/boost with a twist, this Kelco rarity is well worth tracking down.
