傳奇的回歸，重回 70 年代經典 Fuzz 音色

Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box，Fuzz 吉他效果器

Fuzz 效果器，在 1940 年代由 Glenn Snoddy 所發明。它的作用是改變電吉他的音色，用以製造出顫音及震麻的迴響。在當代搖滾大師 Billy Gibbons 和 Peter Frampton 的演繹下，利用它創造出一首又一首的傳奇經典，風靡世代。這台 Warm Audio 的效果器：Foxy Tone Box，是經典款 Foxx Tone Machine 的復刻版。這對許多樂迷們來說是個好消息，相較原始的版本，重製後的 Foxy Tone Box 能以更平易近人的價格入手，並完美重現了 70 年代的感動。效果器內部所使用的電路零件對於發聲相當重要，任何細微差異都會導致音色有所變化。因此，每個 Foxy Tone Box 效果器均使用高規格零件，並且採用手工組裝而成，重現音色的同時注重對細節的堅持。它的表面覆蓋著柔潤的天鵝絨層，具有復古情調的外觀，向原始的 Foxx Tone Machine 致敬。在使用上，Foxy Tone Box 具有用於音量（Volume）、延音（Sustain）和模糊（Fuzz）的調整按鈕。從輕微的嘎吱嘎吱聲到全方位的震撼爆音，不同功能一應俱全。讓您沈浸在搖滾年代的氛圍，為演奏添增獨一無二的個人風格。在以下影片中，可以參考到不同的效果示範。

The Return Of A Legend
The new Foxy Tone Box from Warm Audio is a hyper-accurate recreation of one of the most sought-after and beloved fuzz pedals of all time – used in the early seventies by legendary tone masters Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, and in the present day by folks like Adrian Belew, Nine Inch Nails and Beck. Covered in thick velvet just like the vintage pedal, the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box faithfully recreates the vintage circuit and brings you the huge tone, octave-up sounds and look of the original…without having to pay crazy vintage prices!

Serious Attention To Detail
The specific components used in a pedal circuit are critical to the way that it sounds and reacts to your playing, so each Foxy Tone Box is assembled by hand using premium parts. We searched far and wide for a stash of the correct NOS (“New Old Stock”) Fairchild transistors used in the original—and then paired them with germanium diodes, high-watt carbon resistors, and film capacitors to bring the fury of the vintage pedal to the present day. It’s true bypass, and it sounds like nothing else on earth!

Fuzz It Up
Just like the original, the Foxy Tone Box features controls for Volume, Sustain, and Fuzz (from “Mellow” to “Brite”), along with a switch to engage the pronounced octave effect. From mellow and subdued crunch to all-out searing fuzz and everything in between, this pedal is a virtual library of dirt encased in orange velvet!

To get started, keep the Octave switch off and roll the Fuzz to the “Mellow” side for warm, square-wave distortion. Then engage the Octave effect, crank the Fuzz to “Brite", and increase the Sustain for maxed-out, hyper-compressed tones that are barely hanging on for dear life! Electric guitar is the obvious application, but try it on synthesizers, drum machines, bass, acoustic/electric, and more. If you can plug a cable into it, the Foxy Tone Box can add character you just can’t get anywhere else.
