It doesn’t clean up the same way a Fuzz Face or my Companion fuzz does when rolling back the volume knob. Instead the Fuzz Rite goes into faux sitar mode. It’s actually cool in a different way. This pedal can actually do basic chords that often sound like a garbled mess on the Maestro or other vintage fuzzes. This pedal goes from mellow to razor sharp with the right knob. The left knob is a level. Super simple. Love this pedal.Vintage Rare-Original-1966 Mosrite of California Fuzz Rite Pedal.

Semie said we should sell it, so we started production of the Fuzzrite. We had already shipped 200 units when LeBlanc discovered a problem with the pedal when it was sitting on a cold concrete floor. We then switched to silicon transistors and a modular network built for us by Sprague Electric.an old Mosrite catalogMosrite’s Fuzzrite is amazing many professionals with its total performance. Foot operated, it offers the guitarist sound effects ranging from fuzzy to the wildest distortion. It is sturdily built and designed with the best materials available to give it a variety of expressive sounds.
http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/mosrite/fuzzriteA very elegant and simple folded steel construction with a brushed chrome finish and killer knobs, the FUZZ rite by Mosrite of California oozes 1960s class.One point you’ll see a lot of units with very worn lettering this is just a result in the way the pedal was manufactured with a large clear decal that was applied to the top of the unit. Most of these have yellowed with age and started to flake off.There are controls for Volume and Depth, a sliding battery on-off switch on the side and the usual footswitch.So how does it sound? The FUZZrite is a deceptively versatile unit. It absolutely nails that trippy late 60’s California vibe but is equally at home with other styles and could be considered a good all-rounder.In operation, this unit is pretty ballsy at full volume/depth with minimal background noise. Dropping the depth control a couple of notches down tames some of the treble and gives a great overdriven /fuzz sound.This fuzz is over 54 years old and will keep on rockin’ in the studio. Highly recommended and yes… I did play ‘In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida!’
