Legendary fuzz tone, captured by Warm Audio! Boasting NOS Fairchild transistors, Warm Audio's Foxy Tone Box pedal harkens back to fuzz tone of the '70s.

Overview

The Foxy Tone Box from Warm Audio is a hyper-accurate recreation of one of the most sought-after and beloved fuzz pedals of all time -- used in the early seventies by legendary tone masters Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, and in the present day by folks like Adrian Belew, Nine Inch Nails, and Beck. Covered in thick velvet just like the vintage pedal, the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box faithfully recreates the vintage circuit and brings you the huge tone, octave-up sounds and look of the original -- without the vintage price tag!

Serious Attention to Detail

The specific components used in a pedal circuit are critical to the way that it sounds and reacts to your playing, so each Foxy Tone Box is assembled by hand using premium parts. Warm Audio engineers searched far and wide for a stash of the correct NOS ("New Old Stock") Fairchild germanium transistors used in the original-and then paired them with germanium diodes, high-watt carbon resistors, and film capacitors to bring the fury of the vintage pedal to the present day. It's true bypass, and it sounds like nothing else on earth!

Fuzz It Up

Just like the original, the Foxy Tone Box features controls for Volume, Sustain, and Fuzz (from "Mellow" to "Brite"), along with a switch to engage the pronounced octave effect. From mellow and subdued crunch to all-out searing fuzz and everything in between, this pedal is a virtual library of dirt encased in orange velvet!

To get started, keep the Octave switch off and roll the Fuzz… read more to the "Mellow" side for warm, square-wave distortion. Then engage the Octave effect, crank the Fuzz to "Brite", and increase the Sustain for maxed- out, hyper-compressed tones that are barely hanging on for dear life! Electric guitar is the obvious application, but try it on synthesizers, drum machines, bass, acoustic/electric, and more. If you can plug a cable into it, the Foxy Tone Box can add character you just can't get anywhere else.

Things To Know

Warm Audio WA-FTB Foxy Tone Box Vintage Fuzz Pedal

Hey everybody, this is Justin with zZounds and this is a Things to Know video on the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box. Now, this is a recreation of the 1970s Foxx Tone Machine and it is an awesome, awesome clone. You'll notice it has velvet on the exterior just like the original, which is amazing, as well as knobs on the side. The cool part about this pedal that you might not know is that it's also an octave-up pedal. You'll notice on the front there's a switch right there that says "Octave Sustain." You flip that up, you're going to get an octave that is incredibly, incredibly juicy and sounds awesome—especially when you have the sustain or the fuzz level cranked.

Besides that, the fuzz control is a great tone control for taming highs when you have the fuzz cranked, so don't be afraid to experiment with mellowing it to get a more rounded tone. On top of that, the fuzz—besides using the octave—is incredibly workable. I have used this as a mild fuzz on some of the records that I recorded, as well as an extreme kind of, you know, kind of a computery, glitchy, bitcrushed sound as well. So if you want a versatile octave-up fuzz or a regular fuzz, check out the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box.
