97 FUZZDRIVE

Keeping it sweet n’ simple with this one. The 97 is the result of an afternoon I spent playing around with the old Vox V8161 Distortion Booster circuit. I tried it out, just to see how it sounded, and I really wasn’t happy with it. Very boring, in my opinion. So, I started messing with it a bit to see if I could get it to sound better. My efforts met with resounding success after I tried changing the circuit to a Silicon/Germanium hybrid (the original Vox V8161 is Silicon only) with a funky Eastern European transistor manufactured by Tesla. This is what I now call the “97″ in honor of its Vox roots.
