V8 – Germanium Fuzz Engine

Description

The V8 is a hand-built germanium fuzz pedal tuned to hit like a vintage Hemi engine—raw, muscular, and unapologetically alive.
Inside the chassis sits a matched pair of vintage-spec germanium transistors, biased for maximum harmonic bloom and that unmistakable warm-crackle edge no silicon circuit can fake.

Step on it and the V8 roars to life: thick low-end torque, snarling mids, and a top end that sizzles without ever getting sharp. Roll back your guitar volume and it cleans up like an old carbureted beast settling into a purring idle. Push it, and it explodes into saturated, velvety chaos.

Whether you want smooth, classic fuzz wool or an all-out demolition grind, the V8 delivers it with authority.
No modeling. No compromise. Just pure, analog horsepower.
