Bolt & forge OL'EPHRAIM GERMANIUM SUSTAINER

The OL'EPHRAIM is a pedal offered by the Bolt & Forge brand.

Ol' Ephraim is a germanium-powered fuzz that is easy to handle but roars like a grizzly bear.

It's called a "sustainer" because it's not exactly a fuzz nor exactly a distortion. In short, its sonic character is similar to that of a germanium fuzz, but it is consistent, reliable, simple to use and has the dirt level of a distortion pedal.

If you like the sound of a small tube amp wound up to 10, you'll love Ol' Ephraim. It uses four hand-tested, low-leakage germanium diodes to achieve those iconic sounds while remaining as simple and easy to use as possible to call them up on command.
