Most of you know that we don't much go for "vintage mojo" or whatever around here. But sometimes curiosity gets the better of you and you order some NOS Fairchild 2n5133 transistors to try out and you kind of fall in love. Then you order some germanium diodes, because at this point, why tf not.

Meet our new Eau Claire Thunder - the GOLD STANDARD. It is a little warmer, has a little less gain, and definitely has some mojo. Top mounted jacks and a smaller box make it a perfect fit for your pedalboard.

Exclusive to the Gold Standard are germanium diodes, and for the engineers/gear heads it has “NOS Fairchild 2n5133” transistors to evoke all those classic, vintage fuzz tones. You have the added option of being able to switch between modern and vintage diodes (don’t be fooled by the “Time warp” knob, no delays here!) Streamlined and simplified, the Gold Standard doesn’t come with the “Feedback Loop” that comes on the flagship Eau Claire Thunder. You can sound huge, but there’s a lot of magic in the subtle definition in the fuzz as well.

Power Requirements: 15mA
Enclosure Size = 4.67" x 3.68" x 1.18"
