These are super rare! Produced in the 60's and 70's by a company that became Strings and Things, Top Gear effects were designed and manufactured by Len Hawkes (owner of Hawkes Electronics and physics lecturer at Brighton Technical College). This is a mid 70's model based on the classic Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, and sounds absolutely terrific, as you'd expect a vintage Fuzz Face circuit to sound!

We have had this professionally serviced. All that needed doing was a reflowing of some solder joints, taking apart and cleaning of the footswitch, one of the jacks has been replaced, and it is missing two of the rubber feet, but otherwise it is fully original and works great.
