Zvex Germanium Woolly Mammoth Mod

Designed for bass and guitar players's favorite, the ZVEX Germanium Woolly Mammoth Mod is a modified version of the original Woolly Mammoth fuzz effect pedal, using a germanium transistors in place of the standard silicon.
It is highly uncompressed, very dynamic in its response to an eased-back pick attack, revealing a very pretty kind of distortion that releases overtones reminiscent of a Fender Rhodes or a Wurlitzer keyboard.
On bass you can really tell the difference as a result of the larger signal level in the low end. It's pretty delightful and definitely much different from the sort of brick-wall character of the original Woolly. It's mellow with a bit of chirp on the pick attack. You can really extract a nuanced flavor because it has such a dynamic relationship with your fingers. It's an unexpected delight.
