"After a year of development, testing every transistor obtainable and painstakingly listening to every component available for this pedal… the Third Stone was born. The key to the tone of the pedal is the natural mid-range, control over the bass, and the incredible feel. The mid-range will cut through better in a live performance. Inspired by the Fuzz tones of the 1960’s the Third Stone was designed to be the most organic and versatile fuzz made.

Major props for doing a Fuzz Face demo the right way! Marshall, Strat, Hendrix riffology and great playing. Every FF demo online is 90's alterna-rock riffs with a humbucker and full fuzz volume.
Good lord.... Marvelous!
stunning demo.... absolutely amazing.. well done.
Thanks Nils, very helpful. Got my V2 Third Stone mint w/o instructions. Killer playin'; killer sound!
I’ve read a lot of people harp on this pedal for not cleaning up as well as other fuzzes, but to me it sounded right. Great demo!
Incredible demo. Just nailed the tones and represented that pedal perfectly. Envious of those skills! Thanks for the upload.
My wife just bought me one, cant wait to play it!
Superb demo !
Awesome!
great sounds, , great style, great playing = subbed!
Great playing
NICE JOB !!...................Great demo and playing !
This video convinced me on buying the Third Stone. Also dig all the Hendrix tunes. Nice playing! 👍
Subscribed !!!..............Cheers !
That tone is spot on! Wonderful! That is how it shold be! Do you have the Vibe before the Fuzz?
Yea man waiting for mine right now ! Wondering if you have played it with humbuckers or not ? Excellent job of playing and great Demo if mine sounds like this ill be quite pleased.
Awesome demo ! Pedal is hard to find. Placed my order direct through Berkos. Might be 4+ weeks before I get it. Looking forward to it.
Hello Nils! This is an awesome fuzz! Will be ordering this one. Also can you recommend the best vintage hendrixy sounding wah? Awesome playing
I have this pedal. It's tone is ridiculous....with a vibe added and at high volume it's insane
Very nice. Subbed. I have a Chase Tone purple fuzz that treats me well and a Plum Crazy Sqwauk treble booster to a lesser extent but my son can make it howl. I would love to hear your take on the Analog Fox fuzz, $70 shipping included from Russia as seen on millstap's you tube channel. And as long as I'm here, I have 2 new CS Fenders. If I go 10-52 d'darrio vs 10-46 will this raise issues at the nut or maybe it's not a big deal. I've done this on an older MIJ strat with no issues. Thanks Nils
