Based on the ’73 Ram’s Head circuit, the Billy Goat Fuzz from PB&J Pedals is a huge beast trapped in a small enclosure. Great goat graphic, solid, sparkling and shiny enclosure and the wiring looks really nice on the inside. Simple setup and design, but this little monster can really drive your guitar’s signal – let’s check it out!
Like I said, a simple layout is just what the doctor ordered: 3 knobs, one switch to turn it on and off. Sustain adds or subtracts the amount of distortion the pedal produces, and Level adjusts how loud you want to make it (and it gets LOUD). I have to say, the Tone knob on this has more range than any other fuzz I’ve played, I think. Plus, when you turn it all the way to the left, it doesn’t drop out your signal, or become super muddy and distant. Mix this in with the wide range of Sustain, and you’ve got a lot of fuzzy options here. A light overdriven sound is produced with the Sustain knob around 9:00, at Noon it starts to creep into awesome fuzz territory, and by the time you get to 3:00 and beyond, you’re surrounded by a wall of distorted (yet crisp) fuzz that you never want to climb over. The sustaining sounds are gorgeous, too, extending on and on for the perfect intro or outro to any tune in your arsenal.
PB&J Pedals are a small, new pedal company, and the owner Philip is one of the nicest guys I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with in this industry. Go see what they’ve got to offer – get out and support PB&J and buy some of their gear!
