share ko lang. first time kong maka-try ng Fuzz mga 4 years ago, and nung time na yun parang di ko na-type-an, and i was more interested in ultra-compressed, high gain sounds than a blatty fuzz (if i had an MT-2 then, i would have been happy
). i am sure there was something about fuzzes that i like, but i can not identify what it was during that time.
the unit actually was a crappy Zoom 707ii i think, probably the reason why i disliked it, as it sounded rather fake. and yes, you guessed it, i was using more ultra-compressed, noisy high gain pedals nung mga sumunod na pagkakataon.
lately i tried building some fuzz circuits, and after two successful projects, i am starting to discover how wonderful these circuits are (again). the clean-up is nice, and the circuit reacts well to the guitar's pot. amazing!
(on a side note: the RF interference can get annoying sometimes, so be sure to set the minimum volume on your Boss pedal as well
)
i have an NPN fuzz face and a PNP tonebender MK2 (negative ground), and these two differ greatly, just right for my needs. not of topnotch craftmanship, but delivers
i know most of us are dirt addicts as well, and probably are into ODs and Dists more. just wanted to know who the fuzz freaks are in this forum.
fuzz freak/aficionados, arise!
