The Rarest American Fuzz, Recreated | R2R Electric Right-Fuzz
The Mosrite Fuzz-Rite — the rarest American fuzz circuit — recreated to exacting standards with original-era NOS parts by R2R Electric. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.
The R2R Electric Right-Fuzz pairs with the Shock the Fox TGF — Righteous Sound King St. P90, Emerson Custom wiring with Treble Bleed — pushing a Benson Redland 35 head through a Benson 2x12" cab. The Benson Tall Bird Plus adds reverb depth, and the JAM Pedals Retro Vibe MK4 makes a guest appearance running after the fuzz.
Designed in Bakersfield, California in 1966, the Mosrite Fuzz-Rite was America's answer to the Tone Bender and Fuzz Face — while the boutique fuzz world has spent decades obsessing over British germanium, this circuit has been hiding in plain sight. Fewer than 250 germanium versions ever left the factory before Mosrite went bankrupt in 1968. You've heard it on Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
This R2R Electric Right-Fuzz was picked up directly from Chris Vincent at NAMM 2026, at the Wood Wire Volts booth in Los Angeles — and it hasn't left the board since. Three prototypes went into this build, loaded with USA-made germanium transistors, 1960s CTS pots, and period-correct capacitors — an exacting recreation of a circuit most players have never had the chance to hear, let alone own.
Explored from the introduction with Attack and Volume both cranked, through lower Attack levels from 01:42, and max Attack with the JAM Pedals Retro Vibe MK4 engaged from 03:22. Fuzz Attack maxed while exploring lower Volume levels from 05:53, with brighter amp EQ from 06:57. The new Benson Redland 35's Bass Scoop EQ knob gets its own dedicated exploration from 07:42, showing how the reimagined Redland tone stack interacts with a genuinely rare vintage American fuzz circuit.
The Shock the Fox TGF's Righteous Sound King St. P90 gives the Right-Fuzz exactly the raw, gnarly American character this circuit was built around — a single-pickup platform that lets the fuzz's unique voicing come through unobstructed.
If you've been sleeping on American germanium fuzz, this is your wake-up call.
