a Pale Mare rides

This is the Pale Mare fuzz- a take on the obscure Bee Baa fuzz circuit, which is really 2 fuzzes in one.

The primary fuzz sound is a mid heavy crunchy buzz that sounds perfect for neo-grunge power chords and sabbath worship. It is well balanced - not too heavy or too light and full of midrange.

The second fuzz sound - controlled by the V footswitch and VOICE knob - is a scooped-out treble blasted 60's biker movie kind of monster. Turning the VOICE control clockwise from 7 o'clock (or 0) blends the gnarly 60's sound into a more brutal steroid-fueled version of the primary fuzz. Plenty of cool in-between textures available via the VOICE control.

The other controls are straightforward: LEVEL for output, GAIN for distortion intensity, and TONE to control the treble content.

Sound clips will be up in a few days time

The PALE MARE will cost only $160 but can be pre-ordered now at $145 (plus shipping if outside of the U.S.) Color is Black sparkle with white ink. Pre-order price is valid until July 6th.

Estimated date of shipping will be the week of July 22nd-26th but could be a week to week and a half sooner.

ACID PIG distortion info / pre-order - PALE MARE fuzz info

Hello and welcome to Acid Age Electronics. Time to get the ball rolling.

This the ACID PIG LM308 distortion unit. It is essentially a smaller and slightly simpler version of the Earthbound Audio Iron Pig, the only difference being the deletion of the Ge and LED clipping options (Ge was my least favorite, LED is too similar to LS).

In a 125B sized enclosure (2.6"w x 4.77"h) with top mounted jacks it won't take up much pedal board real estate.

The monster will cost only $160 but can be pre-ordered now at $145 (plus shipping if outside of the U.S.) Colors available are orange, green sparkle, or deep blue sparkle. Pre-order price is valid until July 13th.

In an effort to anticipate any setbacks the estimated date of shipping will be the week of July 22nd-26th. If all goes well that date could be a week to week and a half sooner.

Pedal junkies can order here:
