00:00 Intro
00:38 Overview
00:47 Sounds with humbuckers
08:46 Sounds with singlecoils
14:10 Nickel steel versus Stainless Steel
Richard Barrett and Jamie Dickson of the Guitarist Tone Lounge demo the lovingly recreated late-60s fuzz tones of the hand-built Rotosound RFB1 '67 Fuzz reissue pedal. From chewy, sputtery lead tones to thick, warm vintage chord work, the reissued (and subtly updated) Rotosound RFB-1 Fuzz evokes the '67 blues-rock boom incredibly well. Here the Guitarist team demo it with two classic British amp designs of the era - a Vox AC15 and a Marshall JTM45 and explore how the pedal, which uses NOS germanium transistors, performs with classic humbucker and singlecoil guitars - and also test whether period-correct strings add that last ounce of tonal authenticity to late-60s fuzz tone.
