Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard Fuzz...

[Adam Altman]

Indeed my friend has the latter, bigger one.
I was able to borrow it from in order to compare it with the trusty Sovtek Tall Font Muff.
Truly the "Blackbeard" is an amazing pedal.

I recently sold my Robo Pedals Bluebeard to the chap who runs Lefa pedals…they may be putting a new fuzz together that has a healthy dose of Bluebeard in there.

In the meantime, I picked up a Minotaur Sonic Terrors Swamp Lord the other day which reminds me of the Bluebeard, it's also Rams Head based but has a mids knob and a grit switch which changes the clipping (including a mode that basically turns it into a Supa Tonebender) and now I honestly don't miss the Bluebeard at all.

They did. It was inexpensive. And it's gone.

I was late to the party I guess.

Just stumbled on that while on the hunt for one of these... Shame they made so few, and no one has followed in their footsteps.

Bluebeards are so expensive used now. Exhibit A:

TB'ers!

I asked Ryan from RCO Pedals to create a clone of the Sonny & Sanford Bluebeard! I received it yesterday and it is killer! I hope to post sounds or a video soon, but it is as good if not better than this video.



He added a blend knob for dry signal blend. It has a three way toggle to switch the diodes. Up is a stock symmetrical silicon diode (Green Russian BMP), middle is diode lift that rips your face off/huge gain (Red LED), and down is an asymmetrical Schottky diode.

Contact Ryan here if interested.

Feel free to cross-post in the RCO club, if you'd like. And I'd love to hear some samples! Ryan makes great stuff.
