“I vouch 100% for this – killer fuzz and Lucy is on her way to being a fuzz goddess in such a male dominated industry – that totally rocks!
– why didn’t I think of it on national women’s day – someone remind me next year”

“Like so many guitar players, I have tried different fuzz pedals and been left wanting more. The Rush Pepbox is the one that gives me the fuzz tones I was looking for over many years. This is not a clone or copy – it is an original circuit made with the right few parts that gives it both predictability and unpredictability.
I can always find a nuance that I wasn’t expecting. This is not tame and refined. It is also not shrill or too messy. It is a growling fuzz that is very useful, a ton of fun, and one that I have only found in the Rush Pepbox made by the original family.”

Warning : If you don’t like classic, warm and ultra responsive fuzz tones – steer clear away from this pedal, go get your black topped experimental Les Paul for the antithesis of this!
I can’t sing enough praise about both Lucy and this phenomenal pedal.
Amazing tones straight out of the box and amazing care and responses from Lucy before this magic box arrived.
I think it’s safe to say that this price tag is well worth the joy that this thing sparks.

“Now… about this pedal. I’m plugging a Custom Shop ’56 Stratocaster into the pedal and the pedal into a Hiwatt Custom 50 clone with a 4×12 WEM style cabinet (a la David Gilmour). I’m no slouch when it comes to British fuzz boxes, and this little guy is a gated, velcro ripping sound of lucious distortion.
I love it. It has its own style, and I love that there’s history coming out of my amp with the fuzz. The insides look as great as the outside, and that attention to detail is what tops it all off. I hope you’re proud of this pedal because you certainly should be.“

“I first heard of the PEP Box some years ago and wanted to try the sound for myself. This release of the PEP Box maintains the same looks as it did when it was first issued during the 1960s which is important to me. The pedal is of a solid metal construction and hard wearing and feels very good quality. The dials also have a good quality feel to them and in all, it’s very well put together.“
Having played electric guitar for a number of years, I mainly used Boss pedals and have favoured the classic distortion effects such as the Blues Driver and OD-1 Boss Pedals. I also use a Morley Wah when playing older classic rock with a Fender Telecaster. The PEP Box compliments any player who is looking for the original classic rock sound and reminds me of early Clapton/Cream with it’s punchy fuzz effect for which I find works extremely well when playing rock rhythm.
Having said that, it’s probably a sound that players will want to experiment with for more modern genres and perhaps wouldn’t sound out of place in heavier Rock/Metal.
I understand there are only limited numbers of these pedals currently produced and adds to the feel that the appropriate time and care is put into the hand built construction. Well worth the money if you are looking for something different to the heavily distorted effects of the modern era!“

Lucy,
This fuzz is absolutely amazing. The tones you can squeeze out of it are holy grail like. Love the old school style box and how the cord is attached too. Blown away by this and don’t know if I can play guitar without it now!
Cheers from New York.

The Pepbox is amazing, far more versatile than I would’ve imagined! Usability across the knob range, with incredibly diverse results. There’s a lifetime of sounds here, from singing tones to velcro-y, gated ones. Almost has a dimed HM-2 midrange snarl. Clean-up is amazing and stands alongside some of the best fuzz pedals I have, including NKT transistors. This pedal deserves re-evaluation in modern contexts; this is a wild pedal, not just a vintage fuzz. Fast shipping, great service! Thank you!

A very emotional experience to be able to own such a fundamental piece of music history thanks the great Lucy. You can easily tell how much care was put into building the pedal. It is pristine, the packaging is stunning, the shipment flawless, and the communication so cool. All the best👌

If you love fuzz and you do not have a RUSH PEPBOX THEN YOU HAD BETTER GET ONE! Wow. This pedal is amazing. The range of tones is incredible. Just wow. Thank you, Lucy!
