22/7 Violet
Uncovering the Elusive Violet Ram's Head: The North Effects 22/7 Prepare to be transported back to the golden age of fuzz with the North Effects 22/7 Violet. This meticulously crafted pedal pays homage to one of the rarest and most sought-after Muff variants - the "Violet Ram's Head" from the mid-1970s. What sets the 22/7 apart is its painstaking attention to detail. Utilizing a set of carefully selected NOS Fairchild 2N5133 transistors and premium metal film coupling capacitors, this pedal captures the essence of those legendary violet-graphic Muffs. The result is a fuzz tone that straddles the line between the high-gain roar of the standard Ram's Head and the more refined, midrange-focused character of the earlier Triangle Muff. This versatility makes the 22/7 a true all-rounder, capable of everything from smooth, singing leads to thick, snarling rhythm tones. Renowned Pink Floyd fanatic Kit Rae even claims it's the closest he's heard to David Gilmour's iconic mid-to-late 70s Ram's Head sound. Beyond its sonic prowess, the 22/7 is built to last, with North Effects' signature high-quality components and true bypass switching. Whether you're a Muff connoisseur or simply seeking a dynamic fuzz to add to your arsenal, the North Effects 22/7 Violet is a must-try for any discerning guitarist.
