Original Fuzz demo on its own 45 rpm!

Crazy how they marketed it to recreate orchestral sound.

I enjoyed that! Thanks for posting. 

I have to say though with benefit of hindsight that I find it odd that this particular demo tries to sell it to the public in terms of how the fuzzbox could supposedly help you emulate other instruments' sounds. 

I wonder why? Perhaps they thought it'd be too radical otherwise. Or maybe simply because the heavier styles of music using heavier guitar sounds simply wasn't around at that point. 

I've always liked this demo disc for the original Vox Wah done by Del Casher a few years later.

^ Yeah emulating a the sound of a pogo stick was apparently very popular in 1967...

xSkarloey

Indeed. A case of wah dafook?

Funny, but I've never associated a fuzz box with'whispering reeds'. 

Mind you, I've never really wanted a fuzz bass to sound like a sousaphone!
