Surfy Industries SurfyFuzz Pedal Overview

When the decision was made to develop a fuzz pedal, Surfy Industries’ aim was to create a unique and multifaceted pedal, distinct from the classic models of the past that were readily available. The deep knowledge and expertise of fuzz aficionado, Garrett Immel, were invaluable in this endeavor. Garrett’s name might ring a bell from his involvement in renowned bands like Satan’s Pilgrims, The Ghastly Ones, and Venturesmania.

In his quest for the perfect fuzz, Garrett eventually crafted his own pedal in 2006, named the D-67. Limited to a production run of 50 units, around 20 were distributed among friends and admired musicians, while the remaining pedals were sold through Primitive Sound in Burbank, CA. Over time, the D-67 gained a legendary status and became highly sought after within surf and garage music circles.

While the circuitry of the D-67 drew inspiration from the Mosrite Fuzzrite®, its uniqueness stemmed from Garrett’s inclusion of a variable MASS control. This innovative feature was designed to counteract the tendency of fuzz pedals to lose definition and clarity when used on stage. This served as the foundation for the USA side of the SurfyFuzz. As development progressed, Bjorn introduced the HARMONICS function and implemented other circuit adjustments, taking the SurfyFuzz even further away from being a mere replica of the D-67 or Fuzzrite®.

To enhance the versatility of the SurfyFuzz, Garrett proposed the addition of a toggle switch that would introduce a different fuzz sound, reminiscent of the Japanese octave-style fuzzes prevalent in the late 1960s, such as the AceTone Fuzz Master. Similar to the USA side, this feature does not replicate any particular vintage fuzz pedal but draws inspiration from the distinctive tones of those classic Japanese fuzz units.
