Great Eastern FX Focus Fuzz Deluxe

Great Eastern FX Focus Fuzz Deluxe is a limited edition octave fuzz which covers the entire spectrum from gritty boost through to full-on fuzz.

The pedal features an NOS germanium transistor and has three different modes:
● BOOST – an almost-clean boost with added grit when you dig in
● DRIVE – an organic, amp-like overdrive, very dynamic and uncompressed
● FUZZ – the original Focus Fuzz circuit, ranging from light distortion to heavy fuzz

On top of this, the footswitchable ‘Overtone’ effect can be used across all three modes. Overtone blends an analogue octave-up together with some of the full-range signal, giving you classic octave sounds while retaining low-end and sustain.

In true Focus Fuzz fashion, it’s easy to dial in, loves both humbuckers and single-coils and it definitely won’t get lost in the mix!

The original Focus Fuzz was designed to deliver all the flavour of vintage fuzz with none of the fuss. The Deluxe version has two new circuits that capitalise on the unique Focus control – an overdrive mode for lighter gain sounds and a textured, almost-clean boost that you may want to leave on all the time.

Lots of people also asked us for an octave fuzz. The Deluxe’s ‘Overtone’ effect is octave fuzz done the Focus Fuzz way. By blending an analogue octave-up with some of the full-range signal, we’ve managed to create a more user-friendly and well-behaved rendition of those classic octave sounds.

Like its predecessor, the Focus Fuzz Deluxe uses a combination of silicon transistor, germanium transistor and diode clipping to generate its range of overdrive, distortion and fuzz textures. The pedal is built by hand in Cambridge, UK. It uses high-quality through-hole parts including an NOS (new old stock) Soviet-era germanium transistor.
