    Roger Mayer
    Axis Fuzz Anniversary Edition
    .
    The Axis Fuzz was developed in early 1967 to give an additional series of tone colours for Jimi.  This guitar effect is named after it's most famous use on the title track of the album "Axis Bold as Love".  It can also be heard extensively on the "Band of Gypsies" and various other post 1968 recordings by Jimi.  Since it's reissue it has become a firm favourite by guitarists who demand rich fill range quality fuzz tones with plenty of bottom end but that can also be used on chords and riffs.  It cleans us very well from the guitar volume control and retains its large range of tone colours.  The guitar does not loose identity and is truly a modern classic used by many leading performers today.
    Electronically, the Axis uses a discrete circuit configuration that is completely unlike the simple and crude Fuzz Face configuration.  Both PNP and NPN silicon low noise transistors are used in an unique configuration that is temperature stable, free from radio interference and producing more output level and sustain than the Classic Fuzz.  It produces a distinctive rich-biting sound that makes solos extremely noticeable but not thin sounding and weedy like so many popular mass marketed effects.  The unit has a high input impedance to keep the guitars character and quality of tone whist providing great sustain.  It is definitely best described as fuzz rather than distortion but has the ability to be used on chords as well as solos.
