Caroline Guitar Company Hawaiian Pizza Fuzz - Limited Edition Hammered Blue

So when we got these gorgeous inverted enclosures with the hammered blue powdercoat of "The Blues" and our Hawaiian Pizza graphics, we wanted to figure out how we would make these stand out. Since the original/standard Hawaiian Pizza uses 5088 transistors...how about we make these...WITH 5089s?.

The 5089 transistors offer a slightly lower noise floor while preserving all of the beloved character of the original Hawaiian Pizza.

I'll say this for the Pizza: everyone at NAMM was kinda falling back in love with this thing, as it does more than just wooly fuzz. I think it's been around for long enough that lots of people have seen it, but not as many have heard or played through it, so they had an idea of what it would be, and it still has the power to surprise. It sputters the way people like, it sings and dilates in fun ways...but then, if you back the gain down, it suddenly does drive things that people like. The gimmick of a pizza themed fuzz pedal got us some attention way back in 2018, but what's given this thing staying power is that it sounds special, inspiring, and a bit different than anything else already out there.
