Description

Here we have a pre owned E.W.S. FD-1 Fuzzy Drive Overdrive pedal.  The FD-1 is sort of a Distortion/Fuzz pedal.  Reminiscent of a Tone Bender in a way.  It got a decent amount of gain.   It works as a stand alone drive but also excels at pushing an already overdriven amp.   The pedal is made in Japan with very high build quality.  It has a chrome finish with three control knobs for Volume, Gain, and Tone.  The pedal is in very good condition with some light marks but nothing major.  We do not have the original box so you will receive the pedal only.  It is powered by a 9v battery or 9v dc power supply (not included).  Thanks for looking and happy buying!

From EWS site….

From the popular brand “EWS”, known for their Arion Chorus Modification, comes the new and groundbreaking fuzz/distortion effect pedal, “FUZZY DRIVE”! As you crank up the gain control of the FUZZY DRIVE, you will have powerful fuzz/distortion and with the versatile tone control, you will have wide variety of sound at your fingertip. And when you lower the gain and crank up the volume, it can also be used as fuzz/booster “a la vintage Tone Bender” to enhance your amp distortion. As always, switches are true bypass freeing you of any worries of your tone thinning out when the pedal is not engaged.SpecSize(W/D/H)65mm X112mm X 50mmWeight240gTrue Bypass SwitchingPower Consumption9VDC/7mABattery Type9VDC(006P)x11AC Adapter (Optional) 9VDC, Negative Tips (Regulated recommended)Input Impedance1 M ohmOutput Impedanceless than 10k ohmMSRP$180Past Fuzz unit’s drawback was the considerable individual variability in sound. This was caused by the flux of quality in the “heart” of the unit, the transistor. EWS Fuzzy Drive is designed with circuit using the more stable Operational Amplifier. When evaluating the vintage fuzz sound, many people seek the value in the usage of vintage parts like Germanium transistor, but Fuzzy Drive’s unique design allows you to enjoy the typical tone nuance of the vintage Fuzz even with the use of Operational Transistor. Fuzzy Drive is designed so you can dial in fuzz, overdrive and all the sound in between simply by adjusting the Gain knob.
