SviSound RetroZoid Germanium Fuzz
Looking like a cross between a shrunken hi-fi component and the remote control for James Bond’s private jet, SviSound’s RetroZoid Germanium Fuzz continues Bulgarian builder Mark Svirkov’s trend of packing killer vintage sounds into hefty, space-efficient metal enclosures. This tiny wonder puts dynamically sensitive and meaty Bender, Muff, and Fuzzrite tones in a single, pedalboard-liberating package.
