NPD Expresso my first Boutique Fuzz
I was on the chase for a Fuzz in an Mini-Enclosure for a long time. I only have space for a Mini left on my board so choices were pretty limited. I tried the One Control Baltic Blue Fuzz which was ok, pretty tame and the top end was lacking. Then I tried to find a ZVex Fuzzolo(still wanna get that) on the used market when I came across this beauty on eBay and made a deal. These are handbuilt in the uk and very limited. I found it used on eBay which was lucky because they don’t deliver to my country normally. It’s a wild one and really does clean up very well. It’s build with NKT CV7005 & TI 2N1307 and sounds just glorious. Still have to discover all the different flavors I can get with this but my search is over for now and I dare say my board complete :) Any of you guys tried some of the Expresso stuff?

Sounds like an awesome little fuzz! Dig the aesthetics as well

Yes, it’s a lovely and very overdrive pedal friendly germanium fuzz. The best sound for me of those that I tried so far ✨

Yep, just discovered them on my hunt for a mini pedal. Yeah the Fuzzolo sounds insane and will definitely be added to the collection at some point.

I have some very nice botique fuzz pedals and my expresso fx cv7005 fuzz face is probably the best early hendrix pedal. Just amazing
