Also some Fuzz's dont say what type it is like (Lovepedels Fab50Fuzz) mostly the PTP ones.Do they get the fuzz effect without the use of a transitor.Speakin about LOve pedel,thats the unit I'm prolly gonna get ,I like the 1knob simpleness of it..Anybody have one,do ya like it??Thanks...jim

    Germanium is a material they use to make transistors; they are generally thought of as more of a sixties style fuzz tone, whereas the silicon transistor came along a little later and creates a harder, harsher clipping tone.

    Fulltone makes 2 pedals, the '69 and the '70; AFAIK the '69 has Germanium transistors and the '70 has the silicon ones. I personally prefer the Germanium fuzzes, but it's all down to personal preference. As for the specific pedal you're looking at, I can't answer that.

    And we'll fill in the missing colors
