	This Machine kills fascists : These new distortion and fuzz pedals being handmade by Tym guitars and being sold to raise money for charities. One is based on the classic MXR Distortion + but has been modified to let more bass frequencies through. The other is a classic 60's two knob fuzz. * These pedals are $100 Aus with any donation of the equivalent amount or more made to any of the charities listed on my links page or other agreeable charities. Check here for charity details. Make noise and show you care.

	The Human Fly : When I heard Lux Interior of the Cramps had died I took it upon myself to make a pedal in homage to him. This is a NASTY 60's fuzz that I call the "sausage sizzle" type fuzz. Loosely based on a Mosrite Fuzzrite with more gain and "sizzle" this is that classic early Cramps type fuzz. With controls for Volume and Goo Goo Muck, this pedal is a garage rock players dream come true. The Goo Goo Muck knob works in both directions for more, and more gain. "Boss" compatible 9V adaptor and switchcraft jacks top it off. Limited numbers available. SOLD OUT

	The Return of the Human Fly : Due to popular demand, IT'S BAAACK. This is a NASTY 60's fuzz that I call the "sausage sizzle" type fuzz. Loosely based on a Mosrite Fuzzrite with more gain and "sizzle" this is that classic early Cramps type fuzz. With controls for Volume and Goo Goo Muck with a toggle switch for tone, this pedal is a garage rock players dream come true. The Goo Goo Muck knob works in both directions for more, and more gain. "Boss" compatible 9V adaptor and switchcraft jacks top it off.

	The Howling Woolf : This fuzz was designed for Melbourne Fuzz/surf/psychobilly/blues band Midnight Woolf. This is a 60's FUZZ suited to all the styles above above and more. Heaps of gain in this little box. Spluttery, crackly FUZZ. The tone switch takes the top end out in case you're using a Strat or Tele so it doesn't just take you're head off. SOLD OUT back to top

	The SM Fuzz : These are electronically exact copies of an old school sustain/fuzz with a toggle switch for mid cut or boost and with an old school treble boost built in. The boost is in series before the fuzz to "crisp up" the fuzz and give a boost. These are all hand built in Tym stainless steel enclosures with stomp switches for the boost AND the fuzz so either can be used independently or together. With Boss compatible 9V adaptor. Limited numbers available. SOLD OUT

COMING SOON.	The RAMV2 Fuzz : These are handmade, hand wired clones of an old school sustain/fuzz made around '75/'76 that has been nicknamed the "Ramhead" by many. These older fuzz pedals had slightly less gain but way more "harmonics" than later models and re-issues. These are considered by most to be the highest point of this company's fuzz design. These use the original 2N2222 transistors with the classic "mid scoop" of the originals.

	The BigMudd Fuzz : These, like the one above are handmade, hand wired clones of an old school sustain/fuzz from around '77 that is now known as the version 3 by it's many fans. This was the last of the transistor models just before the op amp version came in and had the same 3003 board as the "Ramhead" but with slightly different components giving it more bass and mids. These are all hand built in Tym stainless steel enclosures. With Boss compatible 9V adaptor.

NEW VERSION COMING SOON. The Tym guitars Big Bottom has been designed to give bass players more options for effects pedals and sounds.	The BigBottom V02 : The idea behind this great pedal is to split the signal coming from your bass guitar and send the mid to high frequencies through an effects loop to any guitar effects pedals, while keeping your bass frequencies clean. This eliminates the loss of bottom end that bass players would normally experience when using guitar effects pedals. You get a clean BIG BOTTOM and an effected main signal. Designed in conjunction with Australian band Magic Dirt and handmade on site at Tym guitars, this pedal is unique and a must have for bass players who use effects of any kind. Version 2 will have a volume for each loop and a true bypass footswitch.

	The BUZZrite : This is another "ode to Mosrite" of mine. It is a copy of the second series FUZZrite pedal made by them in the late 60's. I tried to model it as closely to the original as possible, with an adjustment for volume and depth. This can be optioned with a tone switch like the Human Fly. It is powered by a 9 volt battery or "Boss" compatible adaptor and full bypass switching. Also available with LED, tone controls. back to top

	The Boost : The Boost is a point to point transistor type boost pedal based on those early treble boost circuits made on both sides of the Atlantic back in the 60's. This pedal has a toggle switch for treble boost or linear boost and will drive any nice valve amp into creamy (or trebly) overdrive. Simple yet highly effective and used by most of the 60's British and US bands to liven up their amps before fuzz came along. Still very usable today.

	The Double Boost : What happens when you run 2 boost pedals together ? You get expediential gain. This is 2 linear boosts running into each other and will certainly push your valve amp into masses of overdrive. This is "old school" transistor technology so it's much more touch and guitar volume sensitive than modern op amp boosts. This can be used on guitar or bass with equally impressive results. back to top

COMING SOON	The Overdrive : The overdrive is a medium to high gain overdrive pedal based on several old classic overdrive circuits but NOT the overrated TS overdrive. STAY TUNED.

	The Distortion : This is a old school op amp driven distortion based on the classic MXR D+ unit with a tone control added for more versatility. This is one of the most used or referenced overdrive/distortion circuits out there. The same basic design was also used for the DOD OD250. It has sweet harmonics and plenty of gain. These are all handmade and wired PCB based pedals with all the mod cons inc "Boss" compatible 9V adaptor and switchcraft input and output jacks.

	The Distort and Boost : Is based on the pedal above with a linear or treble boost added for more gain that can be switched in front or after the distortion circuit. This also has the "thick/thin" switch like the Fuzz for filling out your sound. These are all hand made here and we can offer many options. Just ask. back to top

	The Fuzzilla : This is my homage to the GREAT Companion/Shen-ei FY2 using 2 old stock C945 transistors. This pedal was THE original Japanese fuzz pedal also sold as the original Univox Superfuzz in the US. We have added a toggle switch for "Mothra" or "Gamera" which goes from std FY2 with a slight boost to bring it up to bypass volume (the original dropped in volume like most early fuzzes) to an FY2 with tone control and more boost. Volume and gain are the only other things you'll need. These are of course true bypass, "Boss" compatible 9V and all Switchcraft jacks as used in ALL Tym pedals.

	The Bass Face : This is another old school fuzz designed especially for you bass players. This is a "messy" bass fuzz for fat stoner rock and psychedelic. The circuit is based on the classic Shen-ei fuzz above using old stock C945 transistors. I've added more gain and true bypass etc. This design has been used by bass players in JAMC and Cosmic Psychos, among others. back to top

	The SuperFuzz BigMudd : What would happen if you put a Superfuzz and an old school sustain/fuzz pedal together in one box and named it in homage to the Mudhoney EP that made those pedals famous in the early 90's ? This, that's what. This is a "triangle" version fuzz together with a Superfuzz in one box. They can be run with either fuzz first or even another pedal between them. Limited numbers available.
