Dealers Wanted!

We know a lot of people really want to try a Wattson Classic SuperFuzz before they buy one, and the only practical way for us to accomodate them is to get the pedals into as many retail stores as possible. That's why we're working hard on signing up retailers to carry our pedals. We're focusing first on retailers in our own Northern California area, and gradually we'll be trying to line up dealers in the rest of the state, country, and even the world!

If you simply can't wait for our plans of world domination to come to fruition, and just want to try a Wattson Classic SuperFuzz at your local music dealer, then give them our website URL and ask them to become a Wattson dealer!

If you're a music retailer who might be interested in becoming a Wattson dealer, then shoot us an email at sales@wattson-fx.com.

The Next Big Thing!

We've finally obtained the pedal that will become the "tone model" for the next Wattson product. It's a vintage 1960's Uni-Vibe!

We don't know if you follow the vintage effects market, but the going rate for an original Uni-Vibe in good condition is enough to buy a good quality used car. This one was no different. Ouch!

The pedal is in excellent cosmetic condition. Even the foot controller is in great shape. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as well as it should. At some point in this pedal's history the bulb in the light tank must have burned out, because the bulb was replaced. Apparently, it wasn't replaced with the correct type because some other components in the light circuit were also replaced. The pedal functions, but it doesn't have that deep swirly sound that a Uni-Vibe should have. So, the first order of business is restoring this pedal to it's original factory configuration. If that gives us the tone we're looking for then we'll move on to building our prototype recreation of the circuit. Otherwise, we're going to be on the hunt for another "tone model".

I'll post pics of the Uni-Vibe in my next blog entry.
