THE LEGGES TOR DELUXE

The Legges Tor Deluxe (pronounce Legges like Laigs and Tor like door) is our Premium version our Mosrite Fuzzrite clone. This is a seriously cool fuzz with a very cool set of controls.

Firstly though, a little about the name. Legges Tor is Tasmania's second highest mountain and is situated in the stunning Ben Lomond National Park. Legges Tor has an elevation of 1,572 m (5,157 ft) and was named after William Vincent Legge who explored the region in the late 1800's. 

Legges Tor is a wild baron rocky peak that is anything but friendly, and we think that is a perfect fit for this fuzz.

The controls on this fuzz are pretty cool. It is a two transistor circuit that has a Volume and Blend control. The Blend mixes the second transistor in underneath the first. It ranges from from a thick, warm heavily overdriven sound to a bright searing chaotic fuzz. There are so many sounds to be had blending between the two extremes and it is a lot of fun to play.

We can offer a range of premium transistors for the Deluxe, so please, contact us before you order so we can discuss what's available.  

The Deluxe version is available in a MKI style enclosure and really looks the part. The finish is two tone and comes in either Gold with a black base, Silver Shimmer with a black base or Antique Copper with a Black base. Both the Gold and Silver Shimmer pedals also have hand painted graphics. These are currently not available for the Antique Copper

Most builds will include:

Philips, Sprague (or WIMA), and Mullard Tropical Fish Capacitors.
Allen Bradley, Piher and Philips resistors.
Omeg potentiometers
Alpha Fooswitch
and Neutrik Jacks

Though this may change depending on availability.

Each Van Diemens pedal is hand built, point to point, one at a time using carefully selected vintage components. When turning our pedals, we set standard transistor voltages at the beginning, but then finalize the setup tuning by ear, looking for the perfect sweet spot and finalize the bias once that point has been reached. The Deluxe model uses classic shielded wire and each 1960s phenolic board is hand crafted using either eyelets and through hole construction, wired point to point. 

These fuzz are harmonically very active. It is a thick, full and aggressive fuzz and does not offer much in the way of cleanup. This fuzz though is massive.

IMPORTANT: This pedal is Battery Powered Only. 

The pedal comes with a calico bag and booklet and is housed in a premium magnetic latching box.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for looking.
