Pretty cool arrangement you have with your friend there!

Yes, it’s fantastic. I get to play pedals I normally wouldn’t try. I’m not a great Tubescreamer Fan but he sent me his Vemuram and oh boy, that pedal sounds ace…but prices are a bit nuts.

Bought one from a forum member;
but there has been a long holiday here, so it's just been frustratingly sitting at the airport for the past four days and I think I am about ready to lose my mind...

So over the last 20 years I have been looking for an original Liverpool Fuzz-Tone, and then, randomly in the last few months I found 2.

The one on the bottom is from 1968 and the one on top dates to 1967. They're the same circuit/pcb, but the components are a bit different in each.

What is a Liverpool Fuzz-Tone?

It's the first pedal ever made by Steve Ridinger, when he was 15. It predates the beginning of fOXX by about 5 years. It's a pretty unique circuit for the time.

Fifth Octave Fuzz prototype Schumann. Traded for not purchased but no one in my normal life understands how cool this is so wanted to share

Predecessor to PLL it seems. Square wave, 5th below and above. This thing rips!!! But helps to have compressor in front
