Germanium Fuzz from the 60's.
In 1964 Roger designed his first fuzz guitar effects pedal that was used by Jimmy Page and Big Jim Sullivan and featured on many early hit records. After 40 years this early ground breaking fuzz will be available again. It uses carefully selected germanium transistors and has the same distortion section as the original 1964 version. An added carefully tuned passive fatness control follows the distortion section and this adds fatness without messing up the guitar's detail or the distortion characteristics. It has all the features of the new Vision Series with Hard Wire and Buffered Dual Outputs and is housed in the same style of new enclosure. This reissue meets Roger's strict guidelines of keeping the best of the old but also adding some new noteworthy modern features and Roger Mayer welcomes you to step on to a piece of genuine history.
Controls:
Drive: Sets the amount of distortion.
Fatness: A combination circuit tailored to provide control to the overall tone depth and is not just a simple top cut circuit.
Output: The output level boost available can also be used to drive the amplifier very hard if required.
Features:
Multi-Mode Outputs / Hard Wire Bypass / Two Buffered Outputs
The Page-1 Classic has a true hard wire output plus two buffered outputs that can drive long cable lengths with no high frequency loss. These buffered outputs are disconnected when the hard wire output is being used. This means that all performance situations are catered for whether you want a true hard wire output or your situation calls for the advantages of buffered outputs.
Battery Life
150Hrs or more using a premium grade alkaline 9 Volt type.
External Power Adapter / Supply
An external AC adapter (not supplied) can be used and access is through a standard DC power jack ( 2.1mm centre pin ) situated next to the jack sockets. Internal onboard filtering ensures that optimum low noise performance is maintained and diode protection provides peace of mind in case of polarity setting mistakes.
Connection protocol: It uses the standard negative centre pin connection protocol used by many leading manufacturers.
Current rating: 50mA or more.
