I started this project with a desire to breathe life into these vintage heldheld AM radios. With everyone being into tube tech, and AM radio being practically nonexistant, they don't get much love. 

The skeleton is a modified PNP Fuzz Face. I discovered the germanium transitors in the "Encore" radio had very low HFE readings, the markings were 2SA142 and 2SB136. These make for amazing Bonamesa style Fuzz Face!

One trouble with these fuzz pedals is that they don't react well if placed after other pedals due to impedance issues. There's a portion of the circuit that uses a modern transformer to act as a "pickup simulator" to mimic a pickup going straight into the front of the pedal....but that's boring! Instead, I used one of the transformers that was from the radio and used the windings of the side that sounded better to my ear. Instead of an inaudible impedance change, we have a new mode on a toggle switch that adds some punchiness and crunch. I'm not sure as to the science of it, it feels kind of magical! The toggle down/middle bypasses the transformer and you get the thick, wooly fuzz face with the vintage Ge transistors. Toggle up, you get a nice crisp fuzzy distortion for those lead tones from the transformer!

Another trouble with the 1960s Fuzz Face with PNP transistors is that it requires positive ground that doesn't work with other daisy chained center negative pedals. This circuit has built in correction using a TC1044S so you can use it like a normal Boss style pedal power. I recommend using clean, isolated power for reduced noise.

The asthetics of the pedal has the original Encore radio Made in Japan in the 1960s on the left side and the pedal controls on the right. I've added a soft white LED for a vintage illumination vibe.The graphics have a matching Encore logo and read "Encore 60's Vintage Ge Fuzz," laser etched in house here in Texas. Vol and Gain controls. Loophole Custom Shop at the bottom.

Okay serum, not as good as the cream though
I am obsessed with the cream version of this so I thought I’d give this a try. The dropper top allows for easy application. The formula is light and non greasy and absorbs easily. No harsh fragrances. I would use it when I had eczema flares on my face and feel like it didn’t work near as well in helping with skin irritation as the cream does. As of now I don’t use it as part of my regular skin care. Do I think it’s a bad product? No, but it didn’t really work wonders for me. Not sure I would purchase again.

Helps with redness and softens skin
I have sensitive, mild rosacea skin. Had a facial recently and the aesthetician suggested I get a serum to help with moisturizer as I am almost 40. I’ve tried a lot of serums and either they are sticky and not really hydrating or break my skin out in a rash. This serum is amazing. Helps calm the redness in my cheeks and my skin is moisturized and soft all day. It feels a little sticky at first but it goes away. I apply in this order OSEA sea mineral mist toner to prep the skin, this serum and top off with Chanel La Solution 10 for sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin
Such a good product. I use after micro needling when skin is sensitive. Also a great product to use as a barrier serum when starting tretinoin cream.

Saved my skin during an eczema flare up
This saved my skin! I had an eczema flare on my face, and my usual products weren’t working. A friend recommended the Avene brand and within 3 days of using this rescue barrier serum, my flare was almost completely gone! This saved my face!

PLEASE REVIEW — FORMULA CHANGED!!!
I wish I would’ve posted a review PRIOR to the formula changing but just know that I LOVED this serum. I’ve struggled with hormonal acne (PCOS) and eczema for as long as I can remember. Finally, last summer my dermatologist put me on (3) different RX including Spironolactone and Accutane. I was so tired so I stopped everything except for CeraVe cleanser, retinol (Tretinoin) and CeraVe healing ointment. My made up skin routine was working until I used too much Tretinoin and burned my face. I had read great reviews about this product so I thought, I might as well try it — and IT WORKED! I’ve been using this product for almost a year and I loved it. However, 3 weeks ago when I ordered it, I noticed the bottle had a green tint. I could tell after one use that the feel of the serum was different, more watery, not as thick as it used to be. The smell was also different. Still, I kept using it for nearly 2 weeks and I experienced 2 breakouts! Sure enough, I stopped the product and within a few days, my skin was back to normal. I am very upset because as someone who has extremely sensitive skin, this worked but unfortunately, the new formula isn’t for me.
