We'd like to introduce you to Project 34. 34 just happens to be the atomic number of selenium, and at the heart of this pedal is a selenium rectifier. Selenium rectifiers are an old technology that goes back to pre-germanium times, and were first introduced in the early 1930's. They were last used in the guitar world as rectifiers in older amps such as the 1950's tweeds. Later on in the 1960's they were phased out as the industry turned to modern solid state silicon instead of selenium and tube rectifiers.

Enter Cusack Music founder Jon Cusack. Jon had some 60 year old selenium rectifiers left from his days as an amp repairman, and he always wondered about using them in a pedal. We did just that in 2021 when Cusack music made a very small run of 20  Screamer Fuzz Selenium pedals, which sold out immediately. Jon thought he would never find the suitable rectifiers again because today they are usually relegated to just a few larger industrial and military applications, but after over a year of searching he finally located the supply we needed to make another pedal. While they are a very expensive component, we think you'll come to agree that they certainly do have a sound of their own.

Project 34 - Pre/Drive

All the gain and grit of a Screamer Fuzz combined with the tap tempo and rhythmic patterns of the “Tap-A” Series pedals!

What originally started as a joke has now become one of the most versatile and exciting pedals on the market. The Cusack Tap-A-Fuzz is the newest pedal out of the Cusack “Tap-A” Series. Like the Tap-A-Scream, the Cusack Tap-A-Fuzz is the first and only fuzz on the market with tap tempo. Along with the 24 Waveforms, controls for Level, Fuzz, Gain, and Clipping options allow you to create many unique sounds.

Tap-A-Whirl V3

The Sub Fuzz is an analog sub-octave generator and fuzz, like the old Blue Boxes, but with super-fast tracking and three octave settings. That’s up to three octaves below the note you’re playing... Seriously!  Equally useable on guitar, bass or keys, the Sub Fuzz is a fun and useful tool to have in your arsenal!
