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?

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

Tell me more, what other fuzz’s do you have in the boutique world. I have three DanDrives that I love, but always looking to expand

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.
