DenTone Electronics Pedals

Freaktone Fuzz!

The Freaktone is smooth, rich and has a ton of sustain.  I love this!  Built into a pro quality box.  This is not your corporate McPedal.  In fact, it is the antithesis of that!  It is true bypass and built with the best components throughout.   NOS BC109 and BC108 metal can silicon transistors.  I love the simplicity of just one knob.  I build these painstakingly one at a time in my home.   Here is what the buyer of one Freaktone pedal had to say:

"Hi, just wanted to tell how happy I am with my Freaktone #15. I have owned distortion/fuzz pedals from ZVex, Electro Harmonix, Boss, Effector 13, MXR and more.. and none of them sound and "feel" like this pedal. It is so "open" sounding, every little harmonic and nuance of my playing is there. It has honestly made me a better player, and has made playing even more fun. I don't know what the hell you did but this is the best pedal ever. I doubt anything would ever go wrong with this pedal because of the quality, but I feel the need to get another one because I don't ever want to play without it!!
Thanks again and you will be getter more of my business in the future. "

Here are some comments from another buyer:

"This pedal does one thing, big, warm 60's fuzz. It's a one trick pony, but what a great trick. It sounds excellent with my Gibson Melody Maker through a Mesa/Boogie .22+ 1x12 tube combo. Big crunchy chords or great fuzzed out leads. I've used other fuzz where the bottom end tends to dip when I stomp it on. Not so with this fuzz. It stays warm and full. I also use it for bass, an old P bass into an SWR Basic Black combo. Huge, gnarly bass fuzz sound with no loss of bottom end. I love how this pedal sounds. I'm primarily a bass player but I play guitar sometimes, been playing for 20 years. I was looking for a fuzzbox I could use for both that would keep the warmth and bottom end when engaged. This is it. It sounds awesome with gutiar or bass. Perfect for 60's garage, punk, grunge, etc. I can adjust the tone with the amp. Dennis Menard made this by hand with NOS analog parts from an old schematic he had in a folder. No one knows what that schematic was from, but it's great. The box is hand-painted. If it were stolen I'd get another pronto (if I could find one). "

Here is another review:

"Hey, I am really enjoying this pedal. I tried a J.Everman and it sounded good, but was always fuzzy. The freaktone has amazing vol/touch sensitivity. I freaked my wife out when I was demoing it with my 6 watt Champ and Reverend Slingshot. I first showed her light picking and the cleanish sound which she liked, but when I dug in and it scared her and hurt her ears the dynamics were so extreme. Unreal gain, I was actully a little worried for the little Champ getting it's ass kicked so hard. I tried your freakboy with a HBE Germainia and Lovepedal MagicBoy but the noise floor was pretty high. I like it by itself plenty though. So anyway it inspired me to write you and say thanks for the cool pedal."

I am fortunate enough to be a proud owner of a DenTone - Freaktone Fuzz pedal. Kinda makes me sound like a proud parent huh? Well, does this baby sing! On the surface it may seem quite simple. On/off & a dial for the fuzz. However, one dial does not translate to one dimensional. This thing beggs to be noodled with & can provide a wide palate of sounds to paint with. All you need to do is make adjustments on your amp & guitar. With a little patience (and a lot of enthusiasm - you can't knock the smile off my face with a stick), you will easily hear a sound that will be all ours. Isn't experimenting one of the best things about creating music? If, however you are looking for a fuzz pedal that will mask sloppy playing, look elswhere. On the other hand, if you are looking for a fuzz that will get across any subtleties of your picking, look no further! Hard to imagine a fuzz pedal that can pull such a feat off. Well, this one does. Very percussive in its dynamics. This is definately NOT your typical fuzz effect pedal. Let's face it, ayone who plays has a pile of effect pedals. The Freaktone goes a long way to making some of them redundant. A very welcome addition to anyones sonic arsenal. If, for some reason you cannot coax the sound you are looking for out of this thing, then you may want to consider hanging up the guitar for good. All I can say is "get your Freak on"!

BFF (Biggest Fattest Fuzz)

Introducing the DenTone Electronics BFF.  That stands for "Biggest Fattest Fuzz".  Come on, what did you think it stood for?  Each BFF is signed, dated and numbered.   Boutique quality build and components throughout.  The utter simplicity of one knob and a toggle switch to choose between merely fat and fatter still.  We are all looking for a sound to set us apart from the crowd, to define "our sound".  This pedal will do that.

All analog, all point to point wiring.  And of course, true bypass switching so that your sound doesn't suffer when the effect is switched off.  Despite being quite high gain, the pedal is whisper quiet for recording.  A 9V battery is the only power option and it is included with the pedal.  The current draw is extremely low, meaning that your battery will last a very, very long time.

This is, quite simply, the fattest sound of any fuzz I have built and that fattest that I have ever heard.  Incredible harmonic overtones and complexity.
