During the golden age of rock and roll it became fashionable and
expressive to use distortion. And the only way to do that up in till
that time was to crank the amp all the way up or make small cuts
directly into the speaker cone. The result was a 'sputter like sound'
and Gibson guitar's responded to this and released the Fuzz Tone
distortion pedal. A world first!
No well rounded story should go forth without first crediting the Gibson Maestro 'Fuzz Tone'. The Fuzz Tone pedal introduced the world to its very first distortion pedal for the electric guitar, residing in that all important floor dwelling wedge of an enclosure. Soon after many popular group's utilized it such as; The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Monkey's and so on...
However while all this change took place the basic fact remained the same. The classic's we're all limited to the analog effects and studio equipment of the time. In fact cementing the humble analog guitar pedals in the mortar of the golden age of rock and ever increasing pages of history. No matter what pedal simulations transpire the guitar effects pedals used by those early legends of rock remains the same.
No longer large companies that invested much time and money into human labor, short cuts quietly took hold. Digital solder robots replaced legions of workers. With this great turn once again, the success of each new designed seemed to lean on the shoulders of engineers. Many designed teams had members that never even picked a guitar.
A new/old desire emerged over this massive market and the rebirth of the handmade analog pedal took hold once again. Practical innovators with much personal experience now had a fighting chance. True-by pass, germanium transistors now could be added as ingredients to new designs that recall vintage hints of history through out the mature design.
