Stone Thrower Fuzz

In 1925 in Syracuse, NY’s predominantly Irish neighborhood, Tipperary Hill, a group of young men of Irish descent began throwing stones at the local traffic light to knock out the Red glass that represented Britain’s rule over Ireland. As the broken red glass was replaced by the city, the Stone-throwers as they had become known, continued to break the new red glass. This continued until the City of Syracuse put in a one-of-a-kind traffic signal that features the green on top. This fixture has existed there for almost 100 years and continues to be a symbol of the city, as well as a point of neighborhood pride.

To celebrate this, Summer School Electronics presents The Stone Thrower Fuzz. A 2-transistor silicon Fuzz that represents the raw aggression of rebellious youths while paying homage to Syracuse’s history. The Stone Thrower offers a range of tones from subtle breakup to full on aggressive fuzz.With the volume and fuzz maxed, the player can roll back the volume on the guitar to explore a subtle more sensitive breakup.For best results, the Stone Thrower should be run first in the chain without a buffer before it.The Stone Thrower Fuzz requires a 9-volt power supply with a negative center, and comes with a lifetime warranty from Summer School Electronics.Hand built by working musicians in Syracuse, NY.
