Analog Man Mike Piera developed the Astro Tone pedal in 2010 based on a version of one of his favorite fuzz units, the Astrotone and Sam Ash Fuzz Boxx from the mid 1960s. Mike’s objective was simple. He wanted a Fuzz that would play well into Fender amps with his Gibson guitars.  Mike loved the overall sound of the Astrotone of the 1960s, except he found it to be a bit too thin-sounding, especially on the low end. So he began to do a rework of it and the Analog Man Astro Tone was born.

The sound is not as compressed as a Fuzz Face, not SUPER thick and saturated, something between a fuzz and distortion. It's fuzzier into a smaller amp (Fender Deluxe), and more of a BOOSTER into a large distorted amp (Marshall 1970s Super Lead). It can also be stacked with other pedals, for example running a fuzz face into it can get a sound like Spirit in the Sky, which buzzes and cuts out. Or run the Astro Tone into an OD pedal like a TS808 or KoT to make it fatter.

Features:

1. True Bypass switching
2. Super Bright LED for lower power use, buffed so as not to blind you!
3. Uses less than 1 mA of power when off, only 3 when on, so an Alkaline bat tery will last a few hundred hours of normal playing time.
4. Three simple knobs - Volume, Fuzz, and Tone.
5. High quality, hand wired RE'AN input and output jacks.
6. In and Out jacks on top for best pedalboard real estate management
7. Normal Boss style power jack, on the right side, negative ground so no polarity problems
8. Original type silicon transistors, not affected by heat like a Germanium fuzz.
9. Sound is not as compressed as a fuzzface, not SUPER thick and saturated, something between a fuzz and distortion but closer to a fuzz.
10. Size: 2 5/16" x 4 5/16", MXR size 1290 or 1590B enclosure.
