Description

Collateral Damage Fuzz - Handwired Pedal - Fairfield Unpleasant Surprise Clone. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This pedal is based around the Pedal PCB Calamity Fuzz ( https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/calamityfuzz/ ) which itself is a clone of the Fairfield Circuitry Unpleasant Surprise. This is the most superlative, definitive gated fuzz pedal ever created. There is no better, and probably will be no better gated fuzz pedal ever made.
This pedal sounds nasty and gross and makes your guitar sound like a buzzsaw copulating with a giant roll of velcro. It rips and snarls and makes you think your amp is broken. I am not sure the controls actually help control the pedal — there’s a volume knob and an onset knob to adjust the gate/gain of the pedal. There are some switches to turn on and off: a treble cut; a gain boost; and a crush mode. Each of those in concert with the other controls just give different flavors of growl. I am not sure how musical this pedal is, but it is a lot of fun and I love it very much. It is not for everyone, but everyone does has fun playing with this pedal and everyone should try it at least once.
Check out some reviews of the original and listen to some samples on YouTube — this pedal is simply amazing. This clone sounds exactly like the original.
This pedal was hand-built and hand-wired and has been fully tested. The pedal was built with top-of the line parts: 1% tolerance metal resistors, silicone wiring, higher quality capacitors, the whole shebang. I sourced the parts myself, so I could get the highest quality components possible. I am not expecting or trying to sell this pedal for anything close to what an original would go for. I would love for this pedal to go to someone who is curious if this sound matches their rig or setup but isn't sure they can afford a “real” one. Would I like to get a few bucks to cover the cost of materials? Yeah. Do I expect to even fully recover the money I put into building this? Nope. I will likely take whatever I get and buy more parts to build more pedals. I just don’t want to have a pedal sitting in a drawer that I do not use.
I am only selling because I need the space more than I need the gear. Please see the photos for condition -- what you see is what you get. Please email with any questions or concerns.
