The Ibex Silicon Fuzz is a faithful recreation of the Roland AF-100 Bee Baa, a highly sought-after vintage fuzz pedal. The Bee Baa was known for its distinctive mid-scooped fuzz tone, reminiscent of a swarm of bees. It also featured a boost mode with a treble emphasis, allowing for a two-channel effect.
Despite its iconic sound, the Bee Baa struggled to gain popularity in the United States due to its poorly chosen name, along with other Japanese products of the time. However, original units are now considered classics and are highly valued by collectors.
The Ibex Silicon Fuzz aims to capture the essence of the Bee Baa in a more compact form factor. It retains all the features of the original, including the boost mode and its own volume control. The Tone Select footswitch has been changed to a toggle switch for convenience. Additionally, an internal midrange trimmer has been added to allow users to adjust the mid scoop to their preference.
Overall, the Ibex Silicon Fuzz is a faithful recreation of the vintage Bee Baa, offering the same searing fuzz tones and versatile boost mode. It is a great option for guitarists looking to capture the classic sound of the original pedal in a more compact and affordable package.
