Flattley releases an upgraded 1960s-style silicon fuzz with a buffer and extended tonal options

- Trevor Curwen

The last Flattley pedal we looked at was The Ace tone booster in issue 495 but now the company has returned with a closely related release. The brand says this new version of its DG Fuzz is effectively a double pedal: a 60s-style fuzz that now incorporates a simplified version of The Ace and a typical period tone stack in one four-knob enclosure.

The pedal has its roots in the Fuzz Face circuit of the late 1960s. Featuring BC108 transistors, it'll give you a taste of that silicon Fuzz Face experience from drive sounds to fully saturated and decent volume-knob clean-up.
