Fuzz Friend – Passive Pickup Emulator

Description

It’s a fairly well established principle that some fuzz pedals don’t like being driven by a buffer, or by an active guitar.

The fuzz friend is a gadget that fixes this problem.

The fuzz friend pickup emulator is an entirely passive device and doesn’t require a power source.
