Cunningham Amps Supa Fuzz | Guitar Pedal Demo

Cunningham Amps Supa Fuzz: Handmade New Zealand fuzz. A shell-pink relic Kauer. Lollar Sixty-Four single coils. A 5-watt tweed Princeton pushing a re-coned vintage Jensen into the room. And a photocell Uni-Vibe swirling through all of it. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.

The Cunningham Amps Supa Fuzz runs into the Kauer Guitars Electroliner — Lollar Sixty-Four Stratocaster pickups — feeding a vintage 1957 Fender Tweed Princeton 5F2-A with a re-coned vintage Jensen P12Q, with the JAM Pedals RetroVibe MK.4 along for the ride.

The Cunningham Supa Fuzz is Auckland builder Tim Cunningham's faithful interpretation of the legendary Sola Sound Supa Fuzz — the circuit that sits between a Tone Bender and a Fuzz Face in character, used to define British rock tone in the mid-to-late 1960s. Tim builds each Supa Fuzz by hand, one at a time, in a heavy-duty sand-cast Olivetti-style enclosure that nods directly to the original hardware. Each pedal is individually voiced to its specific trio of NOS germanium transistors — no two are the same. Explored from cranked Attack with Volume at amp unity (00:17), boosting fuzz volume to slam the amp into compression from 01:11, and Attack and Volume both maxed at 03:03, with guitar volume lowered for clarity at 03:37.

The 1957 Fender Princeton 5F2-A is about as stripped-down and honest an amp platform as exists — single 6V6 power tube, 12AX7 preamp, 5Y3 rectifier, 5-watt Class A circuit with a smooth negative feedback loop keeping the breakup warm and musical. This unit has been fitted with a re-coned vintage Jensen P12Q in place of the original 8" speaker — an alnico-magnet, mid-focused 12" that was found in some of the most revered tweed-era American amps, giving a bigger, fuller low end and warm upper-mid bite.

The Lollar Sixty-Four Stratocaster set brings pre-CBS 1964 character — scatter-wound, wax-potted, Alnico 5 magnets degaussed to vintage spec. Prominent mids, clear treble, full piano-like attack — everything the classic Fuzz Face circuit was designed to work with.

The JAM Pedals RetroVibe MK.4 joins from 04:08 — the latest generation of JAM's celebrated all-analog Uni-Vibe, staying true to the photocell-and-bulb topology of the original 1960s units while adding tap tempo, a ramping function, and expression pedal control. Built in Athens, Greece.

This is a rig built for feel, not features. Every element in the chain earns its place.
