Before "Satisfaction" was recorded, American guitarists (and not only) were using Fuzz-Tone in full swing. Perhaps some have used their own DIY designs, but this is unlikely, since there are dozens of records in which a characteristic fuzz sound is clearly audible, which does not look like the usual overload of tube amps. Fuzz sound was already quite popular judging by the amount of recordings. Here are the tracks I know:<br />Frankie Avalon - Don't Stop Now (1963)<br />The Vampires - Have A Nice Cup Of Poison (1964)<br />The Vampires - Prisoner Of Zelda (1964)<br />The Vampires - Mud Is Thicker Than Blood (1964)<br />The Vampires - Four Little Monsters (1964)<br />Vinny Bell– Whistle Stop (Album 1964)<br />The Vendors - Public Lover No. 1 (1963)<br />Jimmy Gordon - Buzzzzzz (1963)<br />Annette - Don't Stop Now (1963)<br />The Moontrekkers - Night Of The Vampire (1961) (UK)<br />The Good Guys - Asphalt Wipe-Out (1964)<br />The Sherwoods - Monkey See, Monkey Do (1964)<br />Travis Wammack - Scratchy (1964)<br />Les Brown Jr. - Swingin' And Surfin' (1962)<br />Hal Blaine & The Young Cougars - Gear Stripper (1963)<br />The Duals - The Big Race (1963)<br />The Sherwoods - Monkey See, Monkey Do (1964)<br />Screaming Lord Sutch - Come Back Baby (1964) (Jeff Beck guitar) (UK)<br />The Hornets - The Steel Hull (1964)<br />The Sound Offs - The Angry Desert (1963)<br />Ed Forsyth - Making Up (1963)<br />The Ho-Dads - Honky (1963)<br />Jerry Cole & His Spacemen - One Color Blues (1963)<br />Tommy Roe - Heart Beat (1962)<br />Tommy Roe - I Found A Love (1962)<br />Shutdown Douglas - Night Rod (1963)Al Spudnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552675727063861688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647993744080352334.post-81652493823530263862017-04-05T08:59:26.310-04:002017-04-05T08:59:26.310-04:00Nice FUZZ history overview!

A few points: I'd say the Meastro FZ-1A in late '65 was more of a "redux" than a "reissue" - different transistors and 1.5 volt (single AA) vs. 3 volt (2 x AA) of FZ-1. Graphic logo became bit smaller & slightly different. The photo you posted of an FZ-1 looks like a gold knob c'67-68 FZ-1A. The black knobs on the FZ-1A are non-original - those are from c.68 FZ-1B. Also, "Japan jumped into the fuzz scene" a bit earlier than mentioned with Ace Tone releasing the Fuzz Master FM-1 (a 3 transistor, 3v black wedge, similar to FZ-1) by late '66-early'67. I have one with Warranty card from Spring,'67). They were probably developed and built in '66. The FM-2, c.'69 & FM-3 c.'71.
