Hey gang, I've been working on a new fuzz pedal which I call the Angry Hornet. It's a mix of a Maestro FZ1-b and a Vox Treble Booster. Here's a video demo, featuring the dulcet, rubber fingered and sort of accurate playing of yours truly. I've built a few extras should anyone be interested. I mean, who doesn't need another fuzz pedal, right?

Mel I’ll take one! I texted you earlier but just in case you see it here first I’d like to own one! Sounds super cool and it makes it that more special that you made it!

Radio Shack's finest 90deg 1/4 adapters, bought a few when RS went belly up. I find them a vital part of my signal chain, sets up a nice vintage 80s "Tandy Tone". ;)

Finally - I've got more Angry Hornets in stock. If you feel your guitar tone is lacking a certain ornery, irritated, belligerent tone, this will add suitable surliness! $200 + shipping.

And Mel,
what about the weight and dimensions of the pedal?
If possible, I'd like to have it picked up somewhere by a touring friend.
Cheers,
Andy
