Born out of Jeorge Tripp's desire to create a Swollen Pickle model with the vibe of the '90s Sovtek classic fuzz, Jeorge tracked down the source of its smooth and creamy distortion to a long discontinued BC183 silicon transistor. As it happens, WAY HUGE stockpiled NOS BC183s while they could, making it possible for the Russian-Pickle Fuzz to hit the market with its classic fuzz tones, clear midrange and a fat bottom end that keeps your sound thick and full. With a no-nonsense interface featuring Volume, Tone and Distortion controls, you can quickly dial in your sound and get playing. The perfect comrade for your pedalboard. True hardwire relay bypass. Powered by 9 volt battery or AC adaptor (ECB003).
