This is my newest fuzz re-creation.(pictures coming soon).History has it that Jimi used a red Fuzz Face with white knobs at the Albert Hall(feb 69),Woodstock(aug 69),Fillmore East-Band of Gypsies shows(dec 69) and also at Berkeley Community Center(may 70). The red fuzz that Jimi used had a very unique sound to it-which had more sustain and gain that a typical silicon Fuzz Face.One can also hear this fuzz tone on 'Peace In Missippi'(Crash Landing LP) used with an Octavia. Legend has it that no one knows whatever became of the red fuzz with with white knobs-there were supposedly 2 made-much less what circuit was inside the red Fuzz Face enclosures?.I have always had dreams of having a fuzz that has this elusive sustaining fuzz sound so I spent time working on the prototype and have finally came out with a fuzz that I feel is like the ultimate Hendrix like fuzz sound simular to the tone of the red fuzz that as mentioned above as used at,Albert Hall,Berkeley,Woodstock and Band of Gypsies shows.The Fuzz features a unique vintage 60's fuzz circuitry(KR Customized)-.and also includes custom made silicon transistors,volume and fuzz controls,contour control that brings in more bottom end and or more high end and it also cleans up when you turn down the volume of your guitar.If your are looking for a fuzz that has more sustain,gain and bite than a Fuzz Face but with tons of fuzz but not the grainy spuddery fuzz tone of a typical fuzz pedal then look no futher-The Fuzz will be in the same small box as the Gypsy Fuzz, Doubler and Fuzz Child but will be a unique red color and features on/off LED and true bypass,and dc jack for 9v adapters(not included.list price:$195.00 plus $12.70 S & H-we are currently taking names to be added to our waiting list for 'The Fuzz'(tm)

My version of the 60's wah pedal(pictures coming soon)-Have you ever noticed  how many wahs sound really hard in your face when you rock em from bass to treble-I have alway loved the smoother sound of Jimi's wah on 'Up from the skies' and also the sound of the wah on the live version of Red House from the San Diego Sports Arena (may 69)- from in the west LP.and the wah on Voodoo Child(slight return) and Ezy Ryder at the Berkeley Community Center (may 70). My goal was to make a wah that sounds smoother and more liquid like-I've made 2 for Randy Hansen-he totally loves em(you can hear Randy using his wah with the Gypsy Fuzz on the 'more pedals' page in the Gypsy Fuzz sound clips and I also did this wah for Steve Stevens.The Killer Wah features authentic 60's wah circuitry, hand wound halo inductor(wound with original 60s enameled wire!)and two custom made silicon transistors to get the sound.the Killer Wah also features true bypass and an on/off LED indicator light and yes this baby is quiet! List price:$195.00 plus $12.70 S & H. We are currently taking names to be added to the waiting list for the 'Killer Wah'.

you can hear Randy using the KR "Killer Wah' and Megavibe & Gypsy Fuzz.

Steve Steven's 'new CD 'Memory Crash' features 'Day Of The Eagle' which Steve uses the KR wah along with a Megavibe, Here's a clip:

This is my version of a vintage 60's Superfuzz (the original grey Superfuzz)-(pictures coming soon).The original 60's grey Superfuzz was much smoother sounding that the typical early 70's Superfuzz that sounded more fuzzy that the original grey 60's Superfuzzes-History has it that Pete Townshend of the Who used a grey Superfuzz from around 68 thru 71-and legend has it that Pete used one at Live at Leeds (playing his famous red Gibson SG thru an early Superfuzz). The Manic Distortion features the authetic circuitry and silicon transistors and octave/fuzz circuit as found in original Superfuzzes of the late 60's and features a switch for tone(bass and treble),true bypass,on/off LED indicator light,volume and fuzz control and DC jack for 9v adapter(not included).list price:$175.00 plus $12.70 S & H. We are currently taking names to be added to our waiting list for the 'Manic Distortion'.

*Megavibe(stereo):

I have always loved the sound of uni-vibes on recordings of Jimi's where you hear 2 vibes on different channels having different speed and intensity settings-amazing sounding. While designing the stereo Megavibe I decided to make a dual Megavibe(true stereo) rather than a single Megavibe where each channel was 180 degrees out of phase sound-you know that processed sounding 80's stereo sound-The Stereo megavibe features 2 Megavibes in one unit in which the guitar goes into both Megavibes and each Megavibe has it's own separate output,and separate speed and intensity controls plus separate chorus/vibrato switches for each Megavibe-you can virtually have the chorus set slow on one Megavibe while having the chorus set at a different speed and intensity on the second Megavibe-or have one Megavibe set on chorus and the other Megavibe set on vibrato for more awesome sounds.The Stereo Megavibe is coming out soon. List price:$450.00 plus $12.70 S & H. When we are ready to go into production we will start accepting names for the waiting list for the stereo Megavibe(pictures coming soon).

*New!! 'The Fuzzoid' modeled after the rare Baldwin Burns Buzz-Around fuzz which was used by Robert Fripp in King Crimson on albums such as 'In The Court Of King Crimson' on songs like '20th Century Schizoid Man'  Steve Stevens,legendary guitarist for Billy Idol asked me if I could make him a copy of the Balwin Burns Buzz-Around as he knows that I am obsessed about tone like he is,I did and he was impressed to say the least,so much so he suggested that I should put it out and Steve graciously made me a clip of it.here it is:

       Steve plays a Les Paul Custom. Suhr Badger 30 head set super clean (zero preamp crunch). Bogner Cube 1X12 loaded with a Weber 100w alnico which is basically their version of the Fane alnico. Sure 57 through api mic pre. Verb is courtesy of Eventide H7600. 'The Fuzzoid'(tm) features include sustain(which contols the amount of fuzz,balance (which is a bias control for the amount of grit )and volume/tone(which controls the loudness/tone of the pedal).true bypass,DC jack for 9v adapter(9v adapter not included). handwired and features 3 vintage style PNP germanium transistors hand picked and selected by me Kevin Randall for the best sound quality available,The Fuzzoid : list price $225.00. plus $12.70 for S & H,We are currently taking names to be added to our wait list for the Fuzzoid. 

Our new pedal the Conqueror (tm) my newest re-creation of the rare Beatles/The Rolling Stones 67-70 type distortion as hear on many of their classic songs.In late 1966 Vox came out with a series of solid state amps such as the Defiant,Conqueror,Supreme and Foundation bass amps's that featured a unique build-in distortion circuit of which had a bright biting distortion tone,you can hear this distortion tone on the Beatles album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on such tracks and the lead guitar on 'Sgt Pepper' and the lead solo in 'Good Morning,Good Morning',The Beatles also used this distortion tone on the White album and you can hear this tone on such tracks like the lead on 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey' and other tracks like 'Hey Bulldog',.The Rolling Stones also used this distortion on such tracks as the Lead solo tone on 'Sympathy For The Devil' and you can also hear this tone on the lead guitar on tracks such as 'Honky Tonk Women',Brown Sugar,and sounds very close to the lead intro tone of Can't You Hear me Knocking. many have always wondered what the unique distortion tone was which you can hear on many Beatles and Stones tracks from 1967-1970 .the Conqueror(tm) features Volume,Bass Treble,sustain and a special MRB tone circuit featuring 3-way tone selector switch.This fuzz give you that biting high end distortion tone-very rare the Conqueror:list price: $225.00 plus $12.70 S & H.we are currently taking names to add to our waiting list for the Conqueror.
