Frantone put a lot of attention into audio-impacting detail, and the resulting tone—classic bass fuzz with a vivid harmonic signature—is a testament to the excellent design. Smooth-sounding germanium transistors are used for clipping, and the remaining electrical components are high quality, like silver/Teflon wiring and a New-Old-Stock Fairchild transistor driver from the ’70s. Its tone is a beautiful realization of the bass fuzz sound, dripping with soul-stirring personality. Sustain increases the fuzz intensity and tone is a basic high-cutting filter. All together, the Bassweet was simple and extremely effective.
