THE LLAMA OD

Back in the late 70s, DIY-musician-guru-all-round-super-bloke Craig Anderton had the genius idea of repurposing digital logic chips for analog noisemaking and came up with the "Tube Sound Fuzz". He wrote about it in his seminal book "Electronic Projects for Musicians" and a few generations had a go at making their own. A certain Jorge Tripps took the design, made a few refinements, packaged it nicely and it became the boutique legend that is the Way Huge Red Llama. When Way Huge shut up shop a few years later demand for the Red Llama was still strong and subsequently the prices went into the silly territory.
