This effect laid the foundation for heavy metal as we know it today. Make sure to try this after a fuzz for serious tweaking, or even with clean tones.
VG207A Amplifier
This amplifier was the first to feature built-in tremolo. A bewildering interaction between volume and tone controls left most players constantly tweaking to find their sound. Note: the tone control has most effect on the Microphone Channel.
VG1X12C15W68 Cabinet
An open back combo that pairs with the VG207A Amplifier, featuring an upgraded loudspeaker with gray frame. Due to a loss of records, the serial number dates production circa 1968.

More like one of the first distortion effects, this is one hairy fuzz. Extended controls include selecting between Version 3, Ram’s Head, and Triangle revisions, as well as modifying the circuit’s Miller capacitance.
PH102B Phaser
The ultimate phaser, actually two phasers in one. Use feedback to accentuate the sweep of the phase and combine both LFOs to achieve this effect’s characteristic wobble. Make sure to check out the extra feature that allows Gen 1 to be modulated by Gen 2.
VG402B Amplifier
The first super amplifier, a 100W non-master volume design caught in transition between 1966-67. Based off of an earlier circuit with more Bass, this amplifier shipped with speakers that could barely handle the volume.
VG4X12A100W67 Cabinet

VG205E Amplifier
A reintroduction to an old classic, however several changes occurred that left many finding this amplifier sonically undesirable. We’ve recreated all of those nuances, from poor bias adjustment to decreased drive potential to pulsating vibrato and reverb.
VG2X12C100W68 Cabinet
An open back combo that pairs with the VG205E Amplifier, featuring two 50W extended range loudspeakers with orange frames. Due to a loss of records, serial numbers date production circa 1968.
FZ102 Fuzz
Very similar in design to the FZ101B, but with a lack of quality control over transistor selection that gives this effect its reputation. Extended controls include Transistor Material: Ge/Si and Bias adjustment.
OC100 Octave Fuzz
The first octave up fuzz, giving birth to a subgenre of effects. Though simple in design, this effect reacts strongly to pickup selection and note range. Extended controls for Bias and Balance adjust the strength of the octave.
PH101A Phaser
The first official phase shifter. This effect has six filter stages and unique organ-style controls that allow ramping between speeds. Extended controls include selectable Waveforms for each speed and Ramp Time.
FZ100A Fuzz
The first transistor-based fuzz effect. Extended controls include Power Supply, Transistor Cutoff, and Balance. Increasing the Transistor Cutoff will allow for a heavily gated fuzz effect similar to adjusting bias.
PH100 Phaser
One of the earliest phasers meant to simulate a rotating speaker effect. Extended control for Pulse Width changes the timing of the LFO providing new rhythmic expression while adjusting Resonance/Balance can achieve deeper phasing effects.
FL100 Flanger
One of the most popular effects of its era to employ Bucket Brigade Devices (BBDs). Note: when the Filter Matrix is engaged the Rate control has no effect and the Range control adjusts the amount of delay for unique filtering effects.
FZ101B Fuzz
Carrying forward the lineage of the FZ100A, this effect provides more gain while trying to maintain stability and simplicity. Extended controls include Revision: MK 1.5/MK II and Transistor Type: OC75/OC81D which adjusts gain and harmonic structure.
WH100 Wah
The original wah-wah effect. Extended controls include tuning for Min/Max Frequency corresponding to the heel and toe position respectively, as well as control over Resonance to adjust peak response.
