Transport yourself back to the year 1973 when the music world was forever changed by the release of the original Fresh Fuzz. This legendary fuzz pedal, featuring a single op amp, was an instant hit despite its initial hurdles.

When the Fresh Fuzz first hit the scene, it encountered a small setback with its plastic Bakelite enclosure design.

Seamoon Inc. swiftly rectified this issue by recasing the Fresh Fuzz in sturdy metal enclosures, ensuring its longevity and durability for the years to come.
