Fat Sound's Take

The Spaghetti Western, Stand Alone reverb unit is one of the finest effects of its kind that we've ever encountered. Built locally by effects wizard Rich Flickinger, the Spaghetti Western is not your typical Western Electrics (Fender) Stand-Alone type of unit.

The SW's effect ranges from very subtle, simply filling out your sound in a very unobtrusive way, to very lush atmospheric effects that are reminiscent of old studio plate reverbs and ultimately that Surf Thang when the old Fender unit's full-on sproingy assault is desired.

The high-quality, carefully chosen components combined with an Accutronics Long-Tank reverb unit and the NOS RCA 6K6 Power Tubes all work towards making the SW Reverb not only a Stand Alone unit, but a true Stand Out as well!

The pure versatility and range of available reverb styles offered by the SW is truly fantastic making it an excellent choice for any reverb fanatic who wants a great range of reverb styles for live performance or for recording.

Cranky Atom

MSRP: $225.00 FAT PRICE: $225.00 AVAILABILITY: In Stock
ADDITIONAL INFO: FREE SHIPPING TO 48 STATES!!

"A Peevish JFET Overdrive with Tweed Style"

The Cranky Atom Tone Box is a JFET overdrive with a three band tone-stack. The Atom simulates the sound of an overdriven dual triode. The drive control adjusts from a clean boost all the way to sound of a 15W “tweed” amp pushed to an inch of its life.

VOLUME:

This controls the overall output volume of your Cranky Atom. Be aware, this device is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal. Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier!

TONE-STACK:

The Atom’s tone-stack is a three band passive EQ that is interactive. In order to get the results you want, keep in mind that the controls only subtract from the signal. The tone-stack is basically removed from the circuit with all controls at full clockwise. Also, the Middle control will assume more of the high and low frequencies as you reduce the Treble and Bass controls. Think of what frequencies you want to add, and reduce the other controls.

DRIVE:

Halcyon – clean to slightly pushed
Caustic – classic overdrive sounds
Bedlam – don’t try this with your actual vintage tweed amp!

9V:

Your Crank Atom can use a standard 9V battery. Also, the jack on the rear accepts a standard 2.1mm (BOSS type) AC adapter. Make sure the center pin is negative. Using the wrong polarity will not harm the pedal, however it will not function.

Specifications

  • True-bypass switching with heavy-duty 3PDT push button switch and LED
  • Hand-wired construction
  • Hand-painted durable aluminum enclosure
  • Metal film resistors for low noise operation
  • Quality Switchcraft 1/4" jacks
  • 9v AC adapter jack with reverse polarity protection
  • Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass and Volume controls
  • No Op-Amp chips, all JFET and MOSFET transitors for more musical gain.

Angry Sparrow Fuzz Angry Sparrow Fuzz Angry Sparrow Fuzz Angry Sparrow Fuzz

'A Transistor Fuzz With Quite A Bit Of Songbird Ire'

This is a fantastic new, transistor based, fuzz from our friend and local builder Rich Flickinger. This fuzz starts off mild and meek and become more and more "angry" as the gain is adjusted clockwise. Offering plenty of definition, tons of low end and an explosive ability sure to wake up your audience and make them stop starring at the 23 year old at the bar.

Unlike other fuzz effects that have several stages of transistors with clipping diodes cascaded into one another, the Angry Sparrow Tone Box has only one clipping stage. The result is a more musical fuzz tone that is versatile and dynamic. The controls are pretty self-explanatory, however here are some tips for getting the most out of the device.

VOLUME:

This controls the overall output volume of your Angry Sparrow. Be aware, this device is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal. Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier! There is an internal trim-pot that can be set to reduce the maximum volume of your pedal. It is preset to provide zero reduction. Remove the back and use a small screwdriver to adjust it if you wish.

TONE:

This is a passive low-pass tone control. Very similar to what is on your guitar/bass. Most of the time you will leave it wide open (full clockwise), just like most players do with their tone control on their instrument. However, it can be very useful to tame the highs on a very bright amp, or if you want a darker tone at higher gain settings.

GAIN:

Much time and effort was put into exactly how the gain control functions. At the lowest (counter-clockwise) settings, there will be very little change from your original sound, only a little compression and a warming of the tone. You can set the volume higher and use the pedal as a “warm-boost.” As you increase the gain, you will find dozens of musical overdrive/distortion/fuzz tones that work with more complicated chords and harmonies than you would expect from a circuit of this type.

9V:

Your Angry Sparrow can use a standard 9V battery, also the jack on the rear accepts a standard 2.1mm (BOSS type) AC adapter. Make sure the center pin is negative. Using the wrong polarity will not harm the pedal, however it will not function.

Specifications

  • True-bypass switching with heavy-duty 3PDT push button switch and LED
  • Hand-wired construction
  • Hand-painted durable aluminum enclosure
  • Metal film resistors for low noise operation
  • Quality Switchcraft 1/4" jacks
  • 9v AC adapter jack with reverse polarity protection
  • Internal trim-pot to adjust maximum volume
  • No Op-Amp chips, all NPN and MOSFET transitors for more musical gain.

Rude Bomb

MSRP: $150.00 FAT PRICE: $150.00 AVAILABILITY: In Stock
ADDITIONAL INFO: FREE SHIPPING TO 48 STATES!!
Rude Bomb Rude Bomb

'Mosfet Boost With Questionable Etiquette'

Mosfet Boost with HUGE amount of bass and darker than some boost pedals making it perfect for thickening an overly bright set of pickups or for adding a slightly darker coloration to your tone in general.  HUGE amount of boost available at higher settings to the point that it clips nearly as much as an Arbiter Fuzz Face.  Works
best with black or silverface Fenders type circuits.

Single mosfet circuit design.

VOLUME: This controls the overall output volume of your Rude Bomb.  Be aware, this pedal is capable of a very large volume boost to your signal.  Make sure not to overload other effects or your amplifier!

9V: Your Rude Bomb can use a standard 9V battery.  Also, the jack on the left side accepts a standard 2.1mm (BOSS type) AC adapter.  Make sure the center pin is negative.  Using the wrong polarity will not harm the pedal, however it will not function.

Specifications

  • True-bypass switching with heavy-duty 3PDT push button switch and LED
  • Hand-wired construction
  • Hand-painted durable aluminum enclosure
  • Metal film resistors for low noise operation
  • Quality Switchcraft 1/4" jacks
