NOS OC44 Philips Black Glass Transistors
At the heart of every great germanium fuzz lie its transistors—and few are as legendary as the OC44. Manufactured in the late 1960s at Philips’ French facilities, these black glass versions are considered among the finest ever made. This batch, dated April 18, 1969, comes from the twilight era of germanium transistor production, shortly before Philips and the wider industry shifted to silicon-based designs.
Premium Vintage Components
To complement the rare OC44s, we’ve selected carboncomp resistors and tropical fish capacitors—vintagespec components that preserve warmth, clarity, and musicality throughout the signal path. The result is a fuzz that’s both aggressive and articulate, with cleans that shimmer and leads that sing.
