Claybridge - (pre-) Fuzzmaster

"... indeed a PRE-Fuzzmaster, Claybridge Sound Systems Fuzz Box! Everything was matching up: the two controls, the 15ft lead (or output cable), the sticker on the side that read the earliest name of the company; it was all there. ...

two major details jumped out as being definitive proof of its validity: A. The small white knobs used on this "prototype" were also found on a legitimate v1 Fuzzmaster, in addition to appearing on the original Fuzzmaster ads! B. The same label-maker seemed to be used on the MKIV Fuzzmasters!

... the circuit is completely encapsulated in an opaque epoxy resin. This is not unlike the infamous "brick" inside of an Ampeg Scrambler, and also not any less of a kick in the stomach for pedal nerds like myself. That initial disappointment aside, what is notable about the guts is that the enclosure seems entirely too small to hold a true Fuzzmaster circuit (which is essentially a 2 transistor fuzz that's smashing a treble booster). So even though this pedal matches most of the details described in the May 16th ad, I can't see how it would be possible to fit both the "improved" fuzz circuit and the "inbuilt treble boost" into such a tiny space. The other thing to note are the components we can see, like the two resistors and that big yellow cap hiding below the wires. Including the pots, jack and switch, everything matches up pretty well with a 1966 release. So, let's see how it sounds. ... [long fuzzologic description of the pedals sound, read here] ... No joke, and hyperbole aside, this is one of the best fuzz pedals I have ever heard. "

This song has it all: melody, quirky lyrics, awesome Gibson SG through a Fuzzmaster guitar solo, groove, a funky bass line, drums for days, and Tina Turner and the Ikettes as background singers.

The moth half is fluffy, primarily white and gray with red eyes. It is a sequence of drawings, with one mothman reacting in surprise, while the other two are of him running away.)

#45 Starmer Won't Go, 8 July 

The postman popped a letter through the door of Sir Keir Starmer, startling the poor Labour leader who was doing his daily yoga routine. 

He opened the letter.

It wasn't good, it had "From The Desk Of The Fuzz" written on the top of the pleasingly high grams per square metre paper. 

"We've decided you're a fucking idiot." The letter began. 

Starmer started to sweat, he'd hoped to outlast Boris by more than a day.

"However that's for other reasons, I mean for fuck's sake I could do a better job leading the Labour Party and I'm a woman!"

The letter took a bit of a diversion, talking about how women in Labour are weak and timid, and how Fuzzmaster Janice would deck any red-tied wankstain who tried to bring her down. 

Starmer grew bored so skipped ahead. 

"In spite of all that, what you did wasn't illegal I guess... Just a bit cunty." 

He was safe, he went back to his yoga.
