The Danelectro FAB Fuzz is another addition to the FAB series of pedals. As is the norm for the FAB series, the FAB Fuzz is designed to be an inexpensive solution for the beginning guitatrist or something to mess around with for the more advanced player.
The Danelectro D-7 FAB Fuzz is advertised as “A Fistful of Fuzzy Fun!” (although admittedly I’m not really sure what that means.) The FAB Fuzz features three control knobs: one for tone, one for the amount of fuzz to apply to the signal, and a third which determines the level at which the fuzz mixes is with the original signal. The FAB Fuzz is powered by a standard 9V DC input, as well as he option of using a 9V battery for power.
The FAB Fuzz is housed in a plastic case and features a stomp button that is the same as the other FAB Pedals, and also features an LED to signify whether the pedal is on or off.
Overall I feel that the FAB Fuzz could best be described as “ok.” The FAB Fuzz certainly did not exceed my expectations (in the same sense that the movie “Snakes on a Plane” was exactly what it said it was going to be – a movie about snakes on a plane) but after playing it I found the FAB Fuzz to be a bit lacking in the tone department. Guitarists who are looking for a fuzz pedal to mess around with or beginning guitarists will probably not notice this too much. Guitarists which are a bit more picky will certainly not feel lied to in any way with this pedal. After all, it’s hard to argue with the FAB Fuzz’s price tag of $23.99.
For the price point that the FAB Fuzz is designed for it does the job and does it well.
