Danelectro 3699 fUZZ Pedal

Danelectro reissue the iconic 3699 fUZZ„.

Renowned for their cool retro looks, playability and unmistakable sound, Danelectro® guitars were right there at the birth of rock and roll and are still as popular as ever.

Throughout this incredible journey, Danelectro owner Steve Ridinger has also produced some of the finest foot pedals in the history of guitar effects, which includes the classic FOXX® 3699 Tone Machine®, one of the most iconic guitar effect pedals of all time.

Now available as a reissue, the Danelectro 3699 fUZZ„, mirrors all the glorious fuzz tones that made the original a must-have for thousands of players around the world, ever since it was invented by Steve in the 1970s.

Today its housed within a sturdy metal chassis with Danelectros custom wear and tear finish, aged knobs and funky large lens orange on/off indicator. Steve's also reintroduced the original analogue circuitry and included decades old NOS transistors which are gain selected so theres a narrow gain range to produce really sweet tones along with some modern tweaks.

While the unmistakable vintage core-tone voice remains, upgrades include, independent foot switchable octave, now with a significantly more pronounced octave shift, adding a new dimension to chords and extreme highs to solo note runs.

The overall tone is also warmer, while a single tone control with a massive range, blends a broad array of exciting frequencies with the 3699s classic edgy fuzz, which responds exceptionally well at any point throughout the guitars volume control sweep. New features also include a mini-toggle switch for a boost in the mid-range (to counteract the mid-cut of the original pedal) and true bypass switching.

Steves often been asked why this stunning octave fuzz pedal was originally referred to as 3699. Back in the 70s, it was considered cool for a company to have a phone number that spelled out the name of your product, so he figured out which numbers were needed to spell F-O-X-X. What he got was 3-6-9-9. To his utter amazement, this was already the FOXX company phone number, which was randomly assigned the year before by the phone company. Weird or spooky maybe, either way, the Danelectro 3699 fUZZ„ is the #1 choice for vintage fuzz.
