Best Sounding Vintage Studio Fuzz Box ever - check it out!

This video was posted by Mike at Drowning in Guitars and to my ear this is one of the best sounding (if not THE best) vintage single knob fuzzbox I've ever heard.  it's called an Os Mutantes Regulas 8 based on some South American guitarist's vintage spec custom built box.  

Of curse boxes like this - as well as the Superfuzz and the Shin Ei companion, two of my other faves - can be hard to use live since the tone gets easily lost in the mix but man would this sound great on a studio track. 

Mike does a good job of displaying the range of this box and he peels off some darn good licks in the process.

    If you are not familiar with Os Mutantes, they are worth checking out. Brazilian psychedelic Samba-funk. Part early Santana, part James Brown, part Fela Kuti, part early Yes...
    A real powerhouse then and still monstrous and wonderful.

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
