197? Dynavox Psychtone SS fuzz

Post by edkoppel »

Just picked up this insane early 70s Brazilian Fuzz!

The Dynavox Psychtone SS, while looking like a monster Big Muff, it sounds and functions like a Super Fuzz / Fender Blender hybrid! :headpop:

Thick and splatty, loud as hell, and definitely one of the gnarliest octave fuzzes I've ever played.

It's a bit rusted, so I'm not too keen on opening it up any more than this, but it's packing 7 silicon transistors...

Oh, DB? That's just slang for Dandy Big muff collector.

Brazil + Fuzz usually = awesome. Are those footswitches all on/off, or are they momentary switches?
