FRANTONE FUZZ FEST: Bassweet and Lo-Tone bass fuzz pedals!

RCCollins · #1 03-27-2009, 02:10 PM

Frantone has announced it will soon be closing its doors so here's your chance to get one of their excellent bass fuzz pedals before they get scarce and prices soar! I can't think of too many pedal builders - boutique or otherwise - who do the kind of clean, professional work that Fran does. Her absence will be felt.

Both pedals include the original box (though the bassweet was mailed to me in its box so it was labelled at one point).

The Bassweet Germanium Transisitorized Fuzztone has some scuffage, mostly to the lettering -this is visible in the photo. It is equipped with industrial strength velcro.

The Lo-Tone (a lower gain, germanium-based fuzz) has only minor scuffage, and has no velcro (but no feet either, sorry).

Both sold!

Sure, if you are willing to pay for priority mail. Shoot me your postal code and I'll give you a price, but expect to add around $15 US more... sorry I can't do better

I wonder what makes builders quit building pedals. It seems that Fran has been fairly successful for quite a few years. I guess it's just part of the evolution of business.

Running your own business isn't easy, and personal life can intervene at any time.
