Dub-T-123 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for posting your demo man that's not really the type of fuzz I like, it sounds a little too tame for my tastes, but it sounds nice for your bluesy rock style. I did dig the part with the green ringer thing. It was pretty noisy with both on but sometimes you just have to sacrifice for that sweet fuzz action haha I just put together a new pedalboard and there is some seriously ridiculous fuzz action happening. Lots of octaves and oscillation and gatedness n **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this other lovepedal I purchased recently, OD 11, seem to work better with the strat and my playing style? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsgOPvWNqvY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can we get a demo with your SG Classic? Over the past year I have really warmed up to Si fuzzes. Recent loves are the blue Hendrix FuzzFaces. Those BC108 trannies sound very musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tune EVOL, after all the great Pete Townsend and Carlos Santana used fuzz pedals during the psychedelic years, my favorite decade of guitar tone [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That early seventies era Townshend stuff with The Who is some of my all time favorite guitar tones, playing, and songwriting. That monster sported a Univox Superfuzz. Great pedal.

Very Hendrix-y. Evol I'm glad you warmed up to the Si. A lot of the Ge business is total bullshit hype. I get a little sick to my stomach when I read some of the hyped up Ge talk. That's where it becomes obvious that some people have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to fuzz haha With that being said, I generally prefer a good Ge fuzz. But if you look at my board I have one Ge fuzz and 5 Si fuzzes (total fuzz overkill I know, I need a smaller board) and even one IC based fuzz. I don't discriminate haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean you cannot get some sweet tones from a Si sonic assault weapon. (total fuzz overkill I know,... A guitar player can never have too many fuzz boxes. Like gravity it is a universal law. If it's any indication, the only pedal I ever regret selling was my Yardbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I agree with that to an extent. It really depends on the circuit, the transistors, and what you're going for. And of course a lot depends on the builder. I'm just figuring out how to test transistors with my DMM so I can match them perfectly to the circuit I'm working on. There are variables other than Ge or Si that will have a big effect on the sound. And yeah having all that fuzz onboard is awesome. There are lots of interesting combos to be made and all that good stuff. Right now I'm pretty keen on my ghetto Shoegazer aka my point to point wired Soda Meiser running into my Torns Peaker. And my new Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer is providing some insane oscillation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got a Great Destroyer kit as my secret Santa gift (sshhh don't tell anyone I opened it already). The thing is, I got this mysterious box in the mail.. It wasn't wrapped up or anything and it was pretty big and heavy so I thought it was the smallsound/bigsound tourbox. So I opened it up and there was a blank drilled enclosure and some candy and CDs and stuff. I was like wtf? then I realized what it was. At that point the element of surprise was gone so I put the kit together and ate all the candy. It's the weirdest pedal I've ever heard. I'm gonna have a lot of fun just making sputtery oscillation noises with it. I'm gonna spray paint some graphics on it then I'll post pics. It's so cool!

bluesguitar65 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hey Dub, Please post some of your DYI pedals with custom paint jobs.

surfpup Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Here is a demo video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w72w9nfcaeM Tasty. It's a bit more subdued than the Love Pedal Dragon Fuzz I have.

I can vouch for the quality of his work, the Devi Ever Soda Meiser/Vintage Fuzz Master clone he built me is wicked - probably a little out there for your tastes though.

Man, I wish I could do what you do.....I such a klutz and knowing me, I would probably have the fire dept over. It's probably easier than you think. I did severely burn my finger on my first build though. Ouch. Jeff the Soda Meiser is intense I love that circuit. After I tried yours on bass I just had to build another one. The point to point one I built sounds exactly like yours so we're tonal twinzies. All this germanium talks got me thinkin.. I've got some really cool old germanium transistors that I aught to put to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna start putting some kind of graphics on all of my builds. this demo does pretty nice job of showing what this pedal sounds like. It's pretty ****in crazy. I'll post my own video when I get a new phone that can take videos. It won't be long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
