      @@jhspedals Oooh, a direct line. Quick question. I came across a Kent FuzzWah, the 60s silver plate front one. There's a short in my channel. Is this something that will ever have genuine value as a relic of an older time, or is it more of a mantelpiece item?

    If you listen on satisfaction. You can hear the click of the pedal when it comes on. Also he’s a bit late cuz his hand moved to click it on. Now can’t unhear this just like me!

    I feel like he did define it as "first pedal that sat on the floor with a foot switch" However in my mind the de armond trem trol had a cord to a footswitch. "In 1948 the first commercially produced standalone guitar effects unit was made, called the Trem Trol 800 Tremolo. Built by DeArmond in Toledo, Ohio. It passed the guitar signal through a water-based electrolytic fluid to augment the original tone."
    ...and discuss! Lol

    After a dormant period following it's introduction, the fluke happenstance sequence of Rolling Stones' Keith Richards trying that first Maestro Fuzz tone pedal on what was intended to be only a recording demo of "Satisfaction", the Stones' manager then surreptitiously arranging for that demo to be released as the Stones' next single, & the single becoming a big hit, led to guitarist fans everywhere wanting to know how they too could get their own electric guitar to sound like that! The world of fuzz boxes & guitar pedal effects had commercially finally taken off!

    True Story:
    The riff of the song was originally meant to be played by horns. Since the pedal had “Horn-Imitation“ or something like that in it's manual and advertising. So that legendary recording with the guitar playing the riff was meant to be a demo for the label. But they liked it, published it and the band thought their career was over. 😂
