FULLTONE USA QUEEN BEE fuzz

FULLTONE USA QUEEN BEE fuzzThe Custom Shop Queen Bee is powered by 3 NOS Military Flying Saucer" germanium transistors in an original design that behaves in an amp like manner, responding dynamically to the input from your hands and guitar. Great clean up by lowering the guitar's volume knob, sweet mids, clarity, sustain, harmonics It's all there! The first 2 transistors are configured to achieve maximum gain in order to hit transistor #3 extremely hard, creating more sustain

The Custom Shop Queen Bee is powered by 3 NOS Military Flying Saucer" germanium transistors in an original design that behaves in an amp-like manner, responding dynamically to the input from your hands and guitar. Great clean-up by lowering the guitar's volume knob, sweet mids, clarity, sustain, harmonics... It's all there! The first 2 transistors are configured to achieve maximum gain in order to hit transistor #3 extremely hard, creating more sustain and distortion than is possible with 2-transistor Fuzzes while making the pedal rather low-noise for such a high-gained design. The Queen Bee also has a lot of midrange! Fender amp owners will appreciate the Passive Hi-Cut Treble control for taming the treble, and further sonic sculpting via the Bass switch (placed before transistor #3) tailoring the low frequencies and keeping the bottom-end tight. This pedal has a wildly asymmetrical waveform high in second-order Harmonics, culminating in a sweet, rich, commanding voice with tons of sustain. Inside the pedal is a trimmer for adjusting the bias of transistor #3 by a range between 2 and 6 volts DC. A slight turn results in a drastic change in sound, in volume, and in compression characteristics. Suddenly firm becomes soft, bright becomes warm, grainy becomes smooth. The Queen Bee has True-Bypass switching via the Fulltone 3PDT footswitch for maximum signal integrity while the pedal is bypassed. Because the Bee utilizes Germanium transistors it should only be powered with a battery or a "Center Positive", well-regulated power supply. Fulltone Queen Bees are 100% Hand-Built in the USA.
