The Killing Floor Axis Fuzz Mini prototype (serial number 1) is a handcrafted, limited-edition fuzz pedal housed in a compact enclosure and presented in pristine, mint condition with its original box. At the heart of this rare unit are two NOS Hitachi 2SA15 germanium transistors—highly coveted for their tonal qualities and known as the Japanese equivalent of the classic OC44 transistor. These components are essential to achieving the smooth, rich saturation and vintage warmth associated with early fuzz tones.
Inspired by the iconic Fuzz Face circuits of the 1960s, the Axis Fuzz Mini captures the essence of classic germanium fuzz while offering modern reliability. The tonal response is thick and dynamic, with smooth sustain and excellent interaction with your guitar’s volume knob, allowing expressive cleanup and controlled aggression. The circuit is simple and pure, without internal trim pots or added EQ coloration—just raw, musical fuzz voiced around the warmth of genuine germanium.
This prototype is not only sonically outstanding but also a piece of boutique pedal history. With its unique serial number, rare components, and immaculate condition, it stands as both a top-tier tone tool and a desirable collector’s item.
