Electro-Harmonix Muff Fuzz Owned and Used by Tom Verlaine Model Fuzz Effect (1978), made in New York City, natural aluminum finish.
Here is one of the lesser known entries into Electro-Harmonix' Muff series. The Muff Fuzz is a fuzz and line boosting effect: effect, not pedal! It is a box with a single bypass switch from off to "Boost" and no footswitch. Set it and forget it. The single boost knob drives the signal adding a thick but always usable layer of fuzzy distortion and gain. This is the V3 of the Muff Fuzz; they were made some years earlier with a different typeface, some with op amps and some with transistors. This particular one belonged to Tom Verlaine of New York City rock band, Television.
Length is 2 in. (5.1 cm.), 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm.) width, and 1 5/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth at deepest point.
This unique little effect is nicely original with just a bit of general wear and cosmetic scrapes and scuffs. The battery snap may have been replaced, but it is untouched beyond that and sounds great. It comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Patrick Derivaz, Verlaine's close friend and long time musical collaborator from whom we received the pedal. Excellent - Condition.
