Dirty Hippie
The Reinhardt Dirty Hippie is a fuzz pedal that takes the classic Tonebender circuit and elevates it to new heights. This pedal is the result of decades of painstaking research and development, with the Reinhardt team meticulously refining every component to coax out the most organic, harmonically rich fuzz tones imaginable. At the heart of the Dirty Hippie lies a pair of rare NOS OC75 Mullard transistors, carefully selected and matched to deliver a fuzz that's simultaneously thick and articulate. Engage the pedal, and you're greeted with a wall of distortion that's never harsh or brittle, but rather warm, fuzzy, and utterly captivating. The touch sensitivity is remarkable, allowing your picking dynamics to shine through and shape the character of the fuzz. While the OC75 version is the crown jewel, the Dirty Hippie also offers an alternative transistor setup that's more affordable and accessible. This version may lack the ultimate refinement of the NOS model, but it still dishes out magnificent fuzz tones that will have you lost in a psychedelic haze of sustain and harmonics. Rumor has it that this pedal was a secret weapon for the late, great Django Reinhardt himself, who used it to conjure up his otherworldly lead tones. Whether you're a jazz virtuoso or a grunge aficionado, the Reinhardt Dirty Hippie is a fuzz that will transport you to a higher plane of sonic bliss.
