The key difference lies in how these transistors are selected: they are meticulously tested and chosen based on their gain and leakage current, taking into account our tropical climate. And trust me: ambient temperature makes a TOTAL difference in the behavior and sound of a germanium transistor\u2014when the temperature is higher, internal leakage current increases, the circuit becomes noisier, the note decay becomes more gated, and the pedal doesn\u2019t clean up as well when you roll back the volume control on your instrument. In other words, your expensive imported germanium fuzz doesn\u2019t sound here the way it was designed to sound in a cold-climate country.<\/p>\n<p>We have here a Fuzz made with the world\u2019s best components but tailored to our climatic reality, offering low noise levels, incredible sustain, an absurdly musical texture, and a dynamic response to the guitar\u2019s volume control that\u2019s envy-inducing, achieving the elusive \u201cglass tone\u201d even with hotter output pickups.<\/p>\n<p>The Banana Fuzz, like any good Fuzz Face derivative, needs to be placed at the beginning of your signal chain, before pedals with buffers, and used with a good cable and a guitar with passive pickups. The germanium version of the Banana Fuzz must be powered by a battery (included with the pedal) or a power supply with isolated outputs, as it has reverse polarity compared to the Boss standard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 8.25pt 0cm;\"><span class=\"ui-pdp-color--black\"><b><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\">Operating voltage<\/span><\/b><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\">:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\"> -9V (Germanium), +9V (Silicon)<br \/>\n<span class=\"ui-pdp-color--black\"><b>Compatible instruments<\/b><\/span>: Electric Guitar\/Bass<br \/>\n<span class=\"ui-pdp-color--black\"><b>Types of effects<\/b><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\">:<\/span><\/strong> Fuzz<br \/>\n<span class=\"ui-pdp-color--black\"><b>Power types<\/b><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;\">:<\/span><\/strong> Adapter or 9V battery<br \/>\n<span class=\"ui-pdp-color--black\"><b>Dimensions HxWxD (cm):\u00a0<\/b>11x6x4<br \/>\n<\/span><b>Weight (g):<br \/>\nWarranty: <\/b>1 year (against manufacturing defects)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;\"><b><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\">Timelines:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><strong>Payment compensation<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\"><strong>:<\/strong> up to 2 business days<br \/>\n<b>Production<\/b>: up to 30 business days<br \/>\n<b>Delivery<\/b>: according to the chosen shipping method<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 3em; font-weight: bold;\">$ 250,00<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can purchase this item directly without Reverb fees by emailing <b>vendascollateralfx@gmail.com<\/b>.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shipping is available to the Americas and Europe:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>$30 USD<\/b> for <b>EMS shipping<br \/>\n<\/b><b>$50 USD<\/b> for <b>DHL shipping<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b><span style=\"font-family: Roboto; color: #0a0a0a;\">Note: The colors and details of the products may vary in tone and texture depending on the calibration of your monitor, display, and the batch of materials from our suppliers.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/item\/92384612-collateral-fx-banana-fuzz\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-863 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shop-Button-215x65-Og_tyxjeu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"65\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1018,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[121],"product_tag":[28,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-1017","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fuzz","7":"product_tag-fuzz","8":"product_tag-silicium","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1017"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1017"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collateralfx.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
