Title: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: Musikerochan on April 21, 2009, 09:32:44 AM
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 (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/musikerochan/icon_facepalm-1.gif)). 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 :D) (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/musikerochan/Image003-7.jpg)
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 :D 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!

Been through a bunch of fuzzes starting from the Fuzz Face of a zoom GFX-5. Next came a reissue US Big Muff, then a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face (yung itim), then an EHX Double Muff. Tapos ngayon, gumagamit ako ng older reissue US Big Muff (with the wooden box and old style knobs). I just wish there was a way to add mids without using an OD pedal before it. Might go for a Blackout Musket Fuzz next.

^ yun nga din impression ko with fuzzes i have. either it gets too trebley pag nagrollback ng volum pot/pedal, or too bassy when gain knob is cranked.
the FF for me has more bass and quite scooped but cleans up nicely, something i cannot do with my Tonebender - just plain raw power!
will try an NPN/PNP TB MK2 build in one enclosure next time. for teH BroOtaLz.!
just kidding. i want them for their dramatic clean up. when i was new to pedals i kept reading this thing about "clean up" when you roll back your volume pot. i thought this just cuts your volume. hindi pala. it' more than taht. it's magic.

lolz... very true... look at me now... lolz...
anyway, i've had very limited experience with fuzz... i was able to try out the fuzzface and some local custom fuzz pedals... so far, i've fallen for the catalinbread v8 fuzz... pretty versatile for its size... it has found a place on my board... :wink:

I once had these in one house at one time.
-zvex fuzzfactory -fromunda big cheese clone (i miss this one) -zoom ultrafuzz (is with a friend at the moment) -lovepedal fuzz50 (on a good day it rocks, siguro mas malupit na tunog ngayon dahil palit na ako ng pick-ups sa GLP. -skreddy zero
Only 3 remain.

some fuzzes I still have with me: Zoom UF01 Teaser Stallion V8 78 Big Muff Barge Concepts BP-1 SIB Nick Nitro MXR Blue box - so under rated. Hendrix Fuzz face (red now rehoused, yeah, dual germanium :evil:) 4ms Atoner - incoming in three weeks
Here's what was bought and sold (regret) Fender Blender Skreddy Mayo Skreddy Pink Flesh Fromunda D*A*M Ezekiel D*A*M Sonic Titan (although a power amp distortion pedal, sounds like a fuzz to me) Hendrix JH-1 - black.

hehe, grabe ang Fuzz Gas ni boss Turi, nakapila na!
mukang simple nga lang yung mga circuits ng ibang fuzzes (FF and TB), pero parusa daw ang pag-bias! good thing i got lucky with mine.
i thought before i was into dists. then OD (amp OD-like pedals). even amp sims (GDI). chet! fuzz lang pala would give me a fat hard-on!
no one has really done it here sa pinas. consistently making fuzz pedals. would love to try some local builds. if you're into it, here's a tip. make it a bit modern sounding. think triangle muff with bottom end balls.

very. but the demo was biased IMHO. botik lahat eh. i wonder how it would sound on a genesis guitar? :-D
What gear was used? It sounds like where the fuzz50 started off but more.
His echobaby on the chain....maybe?
How biased was it from your point of view as im out of the loop from effects for quite awhile?

I based it on the other demos. There's probably an echobaby in the end. Like the Pickle vibe. Cables were GL's. Amp was a tweed combo probably a Fender. Guitar I am not sure. I am wondering how it would sound if the gear used were different. Cheaper gear like an MIK or MIC guitar, and SS amp or even a china made amp. Pretty subjective. The video helped sure, but the best way to find out if it really rocks my socks off is to get one. Soon. Lulz.

pero siyempre, walang katapusang pag-aaral ito. i'll build my staple stomps muna then plunge nako to more DIY (ambisyosong DIY) stuff, and tweak tweak :)

Hey pallas! Sold the fromunda, but now it is back with me! Almost sold the Fuzz50, but chose to retain it, and now has a permanent place in my pedal board.
Stacking it with the rat, can get me Wilco fuzz tones, ala the theologians solo! Yes!
The Fromunda is great also for Wilco's I'm the one who loves you and Neil Young Riffs!
I have a fulltone 69 now but i am selling it. :)

sir JMorrero does build fuzz pedals too which are based on classic circuits and some mods.

germanium refers to the kind of transistor used. meron din kasing silicon (so far eto lang yung alam ko :D)
built a tonebender silicon naman (first one was germanium) and sa lahat ng nabuo ko ito yung umandar right away (the six others needed a little retouch of the solder connections or some baliktad na orientation ng caps; i must be improving :D)
what can i say? it has the same Tbender rasp like the germ version. i modified the board a bit para kasya pag horizontal sa 1290NS. pero baka pagsamahin ko na lang yung germ at silicon TBenders sa isang malaki-laking enclosure.
------------
finished buidling din a FF sili-clone. ibang-iba dun sa nauna kong nagawa. this new one cuts bass and parang ma-mids, while yung earlier build ko is bass-y. in fact, i can use the 1st FF for bass. yung second one hindi pwede, prang mababa yung output pag bass, pero ok naman yung volume pag sa guitar ko ginamit.
and may external bias pot (20k linear) yung new FF clone. sweet spot is about 3pm, 4-5 gives you more output/cleaner headroom. tweak it to about 12-10am for some gated/stutter fun. ---------------------
marami pa kong dapat matutunan.

I really like the sound of fuzz, but I haven't tried one for myself. I'm thinking of buying one, after I acquire all the 'basics' that I need (just one OD left to go. haha).
Bes fuzz, IMO, that I heard - Lovepedal 200lbs. of Tone
Na-appreciate ko ang fuzz because of Eric Johnson.. Jimi Hendrix came afterwards. I know, I know, baliktad. :lol:

matanong lang guys, any of you opened up any of your boutique fuzz faces or similar? curious lang ako kung ano caps gamit sa output because i changed mine from metal film cap to ceramic disc, galing sa isang lumang radio na sira na, kinahoy ko lang yung piyesa hehe.
man, i think this really is better, rids the output of the ultra-boomy sound pag metal film cap gamit ko.

The fromunda rocks i tell you. Pag di lang kami umuwi at di expecting si kumander i would still have that puppy.
The fuzz50 simply sounds awesome chained with a delay. I wasted lots of time just me and my usual chain suspects conjuring slow swampy psychofuzz beerfest tones.

CLIPS or it didn't happen! :lol: Abangan ko Mosrite mo ha. Tip: Try to put a lot of low end for your creations. :-D
onga
hehe, yun ang prob. i dont have yet a decent recorder (sorry poor lang :D), pag sa CP lang di ubra, parang tunog utot lang eh :D iba pa rin pag personal. yung FF is basic silicon Fuzz Face lang. mejo muddy, ewan ko, im playing on a cheap solid state amp pa lang (ipon muna konti at tubes naman nyehehe). it has its basic staple of bass pa rin (prominent when i hit an E chord) pero di masyadong woofy. The TB MK2 is tighter, i used a different output cap value para di masyadong ma-bass (the Si FF too, i changed the ouput cap).
------------------
kagabi tinapos ko tong isa pang Si FF, the Princess Fuzz. i added a pregain control to shape the signal that will hit the circuit. i think this is great pag tamad akong galawin yung volume knob ng guitar when i want a lower gain fuzz without sacrificing the gain control nung FF circuit. it has a mid control too, parang added boost lang and further shaping ng tone. i think this one is really really versatile.
kakatuwa kasi before i was into ultra high gain/compressed sounds, therefore keeping me buried in the mix. rolling back the guitar volume or easing on the gain pot pala makes wonders. parang break-up tones pero clear. i can't attest how good these creations are, pero these simply bring a big fat smile on my face, whether low gain or full gain.
--------------------
ive finished na the Mosrite circuit. basic circuit lang, pero octaves are there when using the neck pick up. im under the impression na parang TB MK2 lang din to somewhat. idk, maybe my ears are just tired.
the enclosures are unpainted and sticker lang talaga yan. once makakita ako ng matinong paint, kulayan ko.
building them is fun. debugging isnt. lately parang nagiging confident na ko sa builds ko, unlike before i wasnt expecting each circuit to work agad.
"your hobby is really expensive," reklamo ng nanay ko hehe.

@ Gas God Turi,
what is your opinion regarding low gain fuzzes (i.e., Ge FFs and the like), Silicon vs. Ge sound etc.? im thinking kasi of tweaking an FF to lower its gain, i dont know how much fuzz afficionados like low gainers.
o talagang high gain talaga type ng madame?
----------------------------------
and update, yung Si FF dun sa Hagaren Fuzz ko is wala na. pinalitan ko ng another low gain fuzz, not based sa FF/TB/FR. and wow, clarity! sarap idale ng rhythm parts!
the Si FF is pulled out for "operation" hehe.

I'm using germaniums for my rehoused Fuzzface. Dual germanium as stock of them red fuzzfaces i got two years ago. pretty high gain which is what i want as well.
um, im lost. madame? sino? ha? you think I'm a she? :lol: or you have chicks you can recommend that i can treat to dinner? :evil:

hehe, my bad. it should've been "madami" not madame.
update: i tried some piggyback mods on the Si FF. i dont know how this compared to Ge FFs, the only Ge fuzz i have tried is one Tbender MK2 copy i built, and that one is still a high gainer since it is said to be a Rangemaster into FF kind of fuzz. Si FF with piggybacked trannies = adjustable gain. some players like daw yung low gain Ge FFs kaya i tried that mod. i used the old Tonebender enclosure ko for this, ubos na enclosure ko eh, so that one's pulled out, di na for sale :D
yung stock Si FF, parang muddy pag full gain. ang maganda lang e pag binaba yung volume pedal, lumilinaw. not really clean but parang slight break up tone, bluesy. yung modded ko isnt, idk, maybe it's just me. mas enjoy na ko ngayong gamitin full gain tong bago.
im also tempted to try Beavis' mods on FF.
next project ko is an Octave > Mosrite fuzz. getting some enclosures soon. bad trip lang talaga di pa connected PC ko sa net, nilipat kasi ako ng kwarto hehe.
--------------------
on high gain, i read sa PGS that the Barber TRifecta is a TBender copy. ano bang opinyon ng mga naka-try na about Tonebenders?

meron din akong natapos na heavily modded Si FF. it has a pregain control which is think is key to its tone. ibang-iba.

ayan yung "secret fuzz" ko. and yung mosrite is hindi talaga mosrite. type ko lang yung name :D
--------------------------- im learning more, and i think im really learning fast considering na i only started building them last march ata kasi i couldnt get a "boutique" pedal to work (i bought it btw. no, i had it made for me pala) when i had it. talagang cheapness is the no-no, sobrang hassle! grabe naman. how long does it take to etch a PCB? and ship a kit of components? two months?

ayan yung "secret fuzz" ko. and yung mosrite is hindi talaga mosrite. type ko lang yung name :D
--------------------------- im learning more, and i think im really learning fast considering na i only started building them last march ata kasi i couldnt get a "boutique" pedal to work (i bought it btw. no, i had it made for me pala) when i had it. talagang cheapness is the no-no, sobrang hassle! grabe naman. how long does it take to etch a PCB? and ship a kit of components? two months?
------------------------------ edit: hindi talaga ganyan kasama yung paint nyan. ewan ba. stoopid phone cam.
great job man. let me help you with the parts. send me an email dirtcraftcustom at gmail dot com for all the parts that you will need and please provide accurate links as well. please include the quantity. i can have them shipped here in 2 weeks time tops if the whole list is complete. add me up as well on ym: turi09@yahoo.com

ty sir Turi, yung mga parts naman na needed ko is available na dito, although wala dito sa town namin yung ibang components, meron naman akong bagong source hehe. mura. yung dio sa place namin mapapamura ka sa sobrang mahal, grabe. imagine, a 10uF electro costs P10, per piece yun ha.
-----------------
ayan, yung ginawa kong magkasama sa isang enclosure gusto ko nang butbutin ulit. balak kong i-house lahat ng fuzzes na gusto ko (i am thinking 5 circuits atm) into one enclosure. sayang kasi ang real estate eh hehe.
----------------
once nag-jam ako sa isang banda hindi na-type-an ng bassist yung fuzzes ko. masyado daw sabog. hehe, e diba nga hard clipping yun? nung inexplain ko hindi din naman nila naintindihan hehe.
mas sanay sila sa distortion tones, and the hard compression that comes with it.
---------------- stand by for my Reijimaigo, tapusin ko lang yung "recycled" enclosure ko :D

and location, my Gahd, Batangas pa ko. maganda sana kung magkapitbahay lang no? ang problema naman e baka mahawa kagad ako :D
ang balak ko pag natapos ko is i-ship tapos lend it for a couple of gigs. samahan ko ng something like a checklist para magka-idea ako ng solid feedback, and kung anu-ano yung strengths and weaknesses for imrovement naman ng builds ko. then pasa naman sa iba for judging hehe.
magiging Journeyman kung anuman yung pedal na papadala ko. pag-aralan ko lang muna maige, di din kasi pede ako maglakas ng amp ag gabi, nababato bubong namen e nyehehe.

just built another stupidly-simple-but-modded-to-hell na circuit. i built one dual channel tapos nilagay ko yng circuit na to. it had three knobs, voiced to suit my taste (i prefer silicon diode clipping talga, germ sounds too farty sorry). deluxe version hehe.
i built another one using a "recycled" enclosure, pero one knob lang using the same (almost) circuit.

nice! you're the only one i've seen here with a single ped devi.
what made you go with the aenima and not the vfm, bit or the disaster fuzz?
i'll be honest, i thought it was made to sound like tool. :-P i think i read that on a review, if only i can recall where i saw that.
i was in no position to test as my friend who went to the states was the one who bought it and the only way i can actually hear out one is on the devi ever website and youtube, the best one i heard was this one. everything sounded almost the same. it was an impulse "pabili" because my friend was already on the way to the guitar store and i had to find a fuzz with little time and research. :lol: bad decision making, i know....
very little regret though. at least for now, i have something unique and not the common Big Muff/Boss kind. timpla timpla nalang kailangan...

i'm sure interesting din to. it's made naman for noise and high gain fuzz. my taste leans towards the more extreme sounding fuzz like this and pedals of this sort. there are some fuzz lovers that are into the creamy warm fuzz tones and some naman who dig the sputtering decay, high gain torn speaker sound. i've been wanting to get the disaster fuzz myself because i'm curious about the oscillation switch, but turi says not to waste my money with that and just get a rocket or a shoegazer...or a mangler which is 300 dollars. (yikes) personally, i want them all. ha ha ha.

exactly my point then! right now, i'm on a experimental stage (kuno) and want to try out new sounds, sawa na siguro ako sa normal OD sound... the first time i saw their website, i wanted them all too! :lol: my second choice then was the shoegazer. medyo budgeted rin e kaya di ko na masyado pinakinggan yung mga mahal na pedals nila e.

iba rin yun cguro. galing nung devis e. parang yung fuzz responsive pa sa pickup selector at sa roll back ng volume knob when the drive is dimed. interested din ako dun sa feature na yun. i dunno lang sa aenima kung ganun sya. ok din yung mga parang family computer 8 bit sounding fuzz. parang [avocado] yung tunog.

The Retro Channel Fuzz could be the ultimate solution for those Page and Beck tones without the hassle of worrying about the effects of temperature or time on those fragile germanium transistors. Retro Channel has developed a proprietary chipset that delivers pure MK2 fuzz tones without the use of germanium for a guaranteed tried-and-true tone that will handle all the rigors of the road or inclement weather without ever losing that glorious fuzz tone. The Retro Channel Fuzz works extremely well with the guitar’s volume knob, cleaning up when it needs to, and delivers punchy, in your face MK2 fuzz at all settings. When dimed out, that thick, rich sustain will go on for days on single note lines and when the Attack is backed off, the Retro Channel Fuzz delivers perfect rhythm crunch. No more will your MK2 fuzz sound different every time you use it, the Retro Channel Fuzz solves this problem and many more and will consistently deliver the tone you hear in your head time after time.

The Silver Rose is quite simply a classic Super Fuzz and IC Big Muff design combined together with a Mixer that allows you to blend seamlessly between the two fuzz sounds, and includes a clean knob, and active bass / treble EQ knobs (that can be bypassed).
This unique design was commissioned by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and is now available for everyone to enjoy! :D He wanted something classic with the ability to sound more modern... the solution was the dual EQ + ability to blend together what I believe are his two favorite fuzzes.
Made from top-quality boutique components professionally board mounted with a "soft-touch" footswitch utilizing relay switching, which makes replacing the foot switch a breeze years from now when you've put the pedal through millions of hours of good rock and roll use. :)
Powered by a standard negative tip 2.1mm 9 volt DC jack, or 9 volt battery via internal connector.

I was gonna go with frusciante's fuzz pedal but I saw a pic of his board he had a boss fz-3 pedal which I think is pretty rare so I gave up on that one. :lol:

John now uses English Muffin. Nagkaroon din siya ng Russian muff, Zvex Fuzz factory sala Fuzzrite, di ko na alam yung iba.
Sa JB music store may fuzz face at alam ko may NYC Big Muff pa sila. Di ko sure yung price ng fuzz face pero yung NYC BIgg Muff around 5K pag sale. Check mo din sa classified, may nagbebenta ng big muff dun 3k or 3.5k ata.

its the gated fuzzes that have the sputtering decay. devi ever marami nun. mga "velcro" fuzzes. vecro kasi yung sputtering decay niya parang velcro na binubunot yung tunog.
meron din naman yung parang wasak na speaker. yung muff kaya yun.
fuzzfactory has those sounds. ok din siya, but too harsh and sharp for some.

GASSING for this FUZZ.

Great for bass but also good for guitars. Has a brassmaster fuzz to a super gated fuzz depending on settings.
I already have a swollen pickle (muff derivative) so getting the IE Oxide will (hoping, crossing fingers) end my FUZZ gas.
Also tempted to get the Fuzzhugger Arc Flash Fuzz that is FS here in the classifieds. Great for "weird" face peeling fuzziness, that I do NOT need on my board/sound, but soooo do want. :-D

supposedly, this is the mojo of the V3 big muff that J mascis uses.
description from Jmascis.com --
The Fuzz Munchkin is a limited edition clone of J Mascis’ fuzz pedal. Reverse engineered from J’s original pedal and built at Tym guitars, these are exact clones using the exact component values and transistors as is in J’s original. Sounding somewhere between a Ramhead and a version 3 with more “clarity” this will get you closer than any other pedal on the market to the live Dinosaur Jr. sound.
The Tym Fuzz Munchkin also has the added advantage of a “bypass” switch which will give you J’s rhythm and lead sound in one pedal. It comes in a new Tym stainless steel enclosure with custom artwork designed by J Mascis and Tym guitars. Limited to 300 units worldwide and available ONLY through Tym guitars.

I think sa fuzz face type, mas maganda talaga strat with single compared to say, a lp with humbuckers.
For tone bender.. Check out burgerman's scarab deluxe video sa youtube. May two takes, one witha strat and one with lp. Medyo malaki din difference in sound. :)

here is Devi's response. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhVpCARW1iI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhVpCARW1iI)
devi ever :" I also never threatened to sue him, "start a war", or threaten him with physical harm. I just had an opinion on the way I felt he was disrespecting me, and the fact I didn't like the things he was involved with, or his apparent moral stance on various aspects of... life in general. If that makes me a bad person in people's eyes... fine... but I know I'm not wrong in having the opinions I had, or stating the facts I stated. On the other hand... the transphobic attacks, and now the physical threats and legal threats... that's some pretty [strawberry] up [gooey brown stuff]... and if anyone doesn't agree with that... then those are definitely people I don't want to be associated with."

Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: johnny_jackhammers on August 25, 2011, 08:49:15 PM
"Here's my three-strikes-he's out for Billy and the pedals.
1) I gave him a Shoe Gazer and Rocket a long time ago, and when I met him in person and mentioned the Shoe Gazer, he said something along the lines of "It's a great fuzz, but you can't use that live... you know?" ... No, I don't know Billy. Tell me why you're too afraid to do anything interesting with your live sound anymore. Oh right, everything has to be pristine and perfect these days or vintage and unprogressive... just like you.
2) The Rocket diss in the "Stompland" video. The Rocket was not designed to emulate the sound from Rocket. The pedal is a nod to the song, and a love letter of sorts to Siamese Dream... but anyone who's actually spent good time with it knows that it goes WAY beyond that... so his obvious misunderstanding (through undoubted little use) of the pedal was kind of annoying. What made it pretty [strawberry] infuriating though was that I was in the middle of developing the pedal which I -thought- I was working with him on (the Silver Rose) to make a fuzz that would fit his "modern yet vintage" fuzz needs.... and to have him publicly (metaphorically and literally) toss the Rocket aside was a real [gooey brown stuff] move in relation... to well EVERYTHING going on that point. Fortunately no one gives much a [gooey brown stuff] about Billy anymore in regards to such things, so any business lost because of his off hand comment isn't business I'm worried about. It was just a [sausage] move. I like what a good friend of mine in the industry said "When it comes to fuzz, you're bigger than Billy Corgan... [strawberry] him."
It's true... I'm selling Silver Roses like crazy... not because of anything Billy did... but because people like what I do, and could give two [gooey brown stuff] at the end of the day who uses my pedals... but still... I don't do well with idiots and assholes, and Billy fits the bill (lol) of both these days.
3) The Silver Rose. I spent well over three grand developing the Rose for that ungrateful [pineapple]. I listened to what he wanted, developed something that was far beyond what my business usually does, went through a costly research and development process, and ultimately sent him around $1k worth of gear on top of all the R&D costs during the SR time... and what came of his use, or thanks, or anything for that time spent?
Nothing. The guy didn't say [gooey brown stuff] in response to all that hard work. As a matter of fact, just for [gooey brown stuff], I decided to toss the name of a fellow pedal builder his way who was building a pedal he might like, just as a last... we'll see what happens. So what happens? The [strawberry] writes back the next day saying he'd love one of those!
lol
The guy has the attention span of a carrot.
Seriously though. I'm unapologetic in any of this, and glad to finally just cut ties with the guy. He is definitely the epitome of the fallen hero story that seems to eventually play out to anyone and at least some of their heroes over time.
So yeah... this is the pedal side of things... but beyond that, once again... there is so much about Billy Corgan beyond the music and gear that I just don't vibe with... actually ALL OF IT.... and the music isn't there anymore... so [strawberry] him."

Daming heat with Devi recently ah (JHS fiasco anyone?)
are you referring to that whole drama about someone critiquing the build quality of her pedals?
IMO, the guy had a point naman and pics to go with the critique. and the thing is, a few weeks after the whole issue, she changed the circuit board of the pedal to a much tidier config. so it was all for the best (for future purchase.).

That's a good one. My fave fuzz at the moment is a Lovetone Big Cheese clone.
im really a bassist, so i am not well-versed on fuzz ... my guitar player is worse... he thinks a fuzz is just a distortion pedal with the gain and bass maxed lol
maybe i should have asked this thread about what i wanted in a fuzz before i bought the redwitch ... i guess i just had a super good experience with a redwitch moonphaser, i trust everything they put out lol
now, since you said its a good one... whew!

"Here's my three-strikes-he's out for Billy and the pedals.
1) I gave him a Shoe Gazer and Rocket a long time ago, and when I met him in person and mentioned the Shoe Gazer, he said something along the lines of "It's a great fuzz, but you can't use that live... you know?" ... No, I don't know Billy. Tell me why you're too afraid to do anything interesting with your live sound anymore. Oh right, everything has to be pristine and perfect these days or vintage and unprogressive... just like you.
2) The Rocket diss in the "Stompland" video. The Rocket was not designed to emulate the sound from Rocket. The pedal is a nod to the song, and a love letter of sorts to Siamese Dream... but anyone who's actually spent good time with it knows that it goes WAY beyond that... so his obvious misunderstanding (through undoubted little use) of the pedal was kind of annoying. What made it pretty [strawberry] infuriating though was that I was in the middle of developing the pedal which I -thought- I was working with him on (the Silver Rose) to make a fuzz that would fit his "modern yet vintage" fuzz needs.... and to have him publicly (metaphorically and literally) toss the Rocket aside was a real [gooey brown stuff] move in relation... to well EVERYTHING going on that point. Fortunately no one gives much a [gooey brown stuff] about Billy anymore in regards to such things, so any business lost because of his off hand comment isn't business I'm worried about. It was just a [sausage] move. I like what a good friend of mine in the industry said "When it comes to fuzz, you're bigger than Billy Corgan... [strawberry] him."
It's true... I'm selling Silver Roses like crazy... not because of anything Billy did... but because people like what I do, and could give two [gooey brown stuff] at the end of the day who uses my pedals... but still... I don't do well with idiots and [pineapple], and Billy fits the bill (lol) of both these days.
3) The Silver Rose. I spent well over three grand developing the Rose for that ungrateful [pineapple]. I listened to what he wanted, developed something that was far beyond what my business usually does, went through a costly research and development process, and ultimately sent him around $1k worth of gear on top of all the R&D costs during the SR time... and what came of his use, or thanks, or anything for that time spent?
Nothing. The guy didn't say [gooey brown stuff] in response to all that hard work. As a matter of fact, just for [gooey brown stuff], I decided to toss the name of a fellow pedal builder his way who was building a pedal he might like, just as a last... we'll see what happens. So what happens? The [strawberry] writes back the next day saying he'd love one of those!
lol
The guy has the attention span of a carrot.
Seriously though. I'm unapologetic in any of this, and glad to finally just cut ties with the guy. He is definitely the epitome of the fallen hero story that seems to eventually play out to anyone and at least some of their heroes over time.
So yeah... this is the pedal side of things... but beyond that, once again... there is so much about Billy Corgan beyond the music and gear that I just don't vibe with... actually ALL OF IT.... and the music isn't there anymore... so [strawberry] him."
regarding to the alleged "Rocket" diss comment, here's the 'Stompland' vid of Billy Corgan (skip to 02:05): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZemTcTyJKs
Quote
"here's the devi ever rocket pedal, just in case... [chuckles] I don't think we'll be needing that, but ah, since we got the original deal**"
(** hmm, maybe he's referring to the Silver Rose pedal by that time? ???)
dunno if that sounded offensive enough... (oh, the fuzz pedal melodrama heheh :D )

Good day mga sirs,
I just have a quick question re the germanium fuzz face. They said that if its Germanium, it shouldnt be included on a chain with the non germanium peds, and that it should have its own power supply.
My question is can I use a separate ordinary 9v adapter to power a germanium ped?
The reason I asked is im getting a germanium fuzzface here, but im not sure if i can use an ordinary 9v adapter to power it,
Salamat in advance mga sirs! Ingat po.

Post by: teleclem on December 01, 2011, 08:04:38 AM
What model are you getting? Iirc, some ge pedals are center positive. So I wouldn't suggest plugging them in unless you have the red converter cable. You might fry your pedal.
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: Musikerochan on December 01, 2011, 08:45:38 AM
IMO converting one of the plugs of a regular center negative DC 9V daisy chain to make one plug center positive is a no-no pa rin. it should have a separate adaptor/battery :-)

better to power your germanium pedal with a battery. i think read in some of the forums that daisy chaining it overloads or stresses the GE transistor particularly.
i noticed nga that when when my Fuzz Factory is daisy chained it is noisy as hell. zvex even confirms this.
using a cheap 9v everready battery solves this. the battery lasts long because the current draw is low and as the battery dies out, it sounds better.

Salamat mga Sirs! I'm using the Dunlop JDF2 Fuzz Face (Red). Im planning on using a battery clip adapter so i can plug it to a separate 9v PSU. Would that work? Can I use an ordinary 9v adapter as long as I will just use it for the FF?
Thank you for your seggestions. :)

Well, I can see how a fuzz factory could seem "defective" at some (many, actually) weird settings. In that case, then I guess buying new through our shippers here would be your best bet if you want to get one new. :) sayang lang yung cash savings if you get one used.

Hey Fuzz Experts! Medyo newbie sa fuzz. Ask ko lang kung ano pwedeng Fuzz pedal na maganda paren tunog sa solid state amp. usually ang alam ko lalabas lang ganda ng tunog ng fuzz pedal pag naka tube amp. Pati sa mga demo sa youtube, madalas tube amp ang gamit pang demo.
I'm aiming for a violin-like kind of tone ala Eric Johnson sana. tama bang pedal set up ang:
Guitar->OD pedal->Fuzz pedal
or
Guitar->Fuzz pedal ->OD pedal?
I tried the EHX Little Big Muff pero parang hindi na kaya makuha yung sound na yun pero oks din naman siya sa solid state. I also had the Sib! Nick Nitro na may Fuzz Face at Octave effect 1 one kaso nabenta ko ren ng presyong adik nun nangailangan ng money.

Guitar->OD pedal->Fuzz pedal = this will achieve more sustain. Big Muff Pi at Fulltone Soulbender, kahit standalone mga yan, you should achieve a violin-like tone.

^are the NKTs high gain or med gain? ang alam ko kasi sa FFs usually importante low gain yung transistors na gagamitin para litaw yung pagiging dynamic ng fuzz effect (swipe lightly and it's clean-ish, dig and it growls). general notion is that FFs are meant to be played using your volume knob or variation in input gain.

For me, i like fuzz and single coils naman, especially low output or vintage pickups. I think it brings out the character of the fuzz as opposed to making it sound like an over drive or a distortion.
That being said, ok din yung muffy fuzzes on buckers.
Pero, i don't know. Maybe i was expecting something more from the sunface with all the hype. It's not bad naman just a little too vanilla for my taste.
Mas sulit fuzz factory or even a fuzz face. Naka try na rin ako ng germanium na fuz face, mas okmpa nga e kasi dunlop has streamlined the product already.
Again, just my opinion. Not bashing the sunface. It just is too much money for too little fuzz.

Not only ok, but definitely ok ang muff type fuzzes sa buckers. Ang nipis kasi kapag single coils (my observation with the gear that I have), you can't get that much wall of a sound.

Aarrrgghhhh no, no. Hindi ako yung nakakuha ng hyperion bro. Kukunin ko sana today pero meron na buyer si nepenthe bago ko natest.. Pero ok lang kasi muff type din sya. Nakita ko nga lang sa demo sa net na meron sound na parang starved na fuzz, which, the pig mine cannot do. Yun sana habol ko dun e..

I find it too sharp on some amps e, so i set it on a drive channel pag solid state or run it through a very low overdrive. But that's just my own preference. I like it dark kasi.
Big muff is great on it's own. But you can push it with a drive pedal before it para umangat sa mix. :wink:

I paired your fuzz factory with a TS9 when I had it. It didn't like it in front and even after. Sayang di ko sya na-try with single coils.
The russian pi however, sounded good with a little drive in front. Anlaki nga lang nya talaga hehe.

^are the NKTs high gain or med gain? ang alam ko kasi sa FFs usually importante low gain yung transistors na gagamitin para litaw yung pagiging dynamic ng fuzz effect (swipe lightly and it's clean-ish, dig and it growls). general notion is that FFs are meant to be played using your volume knob or variation in input gain.
I think high gain yung na try ko, man. Pangit yung clean up when you roll off. Mas ok pa yung sa fuzz factory e.
Pero yeah, i can see na it can potentially be a good low gain fuzz. Pero the price is B.S.
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: johnny_jackhammers on September 28, 2012, 11:49:04 AM
Btw, i was able to try an old teaser stallion fuzz yesterday. Two of them, actually.
One was the small zvex type box, and the other one was the bigger brother with an extra knob that was for "chunk". I think it was extra gain or something.
It was kind of a one trick pony for me. The switch which engages the Frequency knob is next to useless. I say this because the noise it creates is quite contrived. If you want better out of this world noises, there's always devi stuff of even the fuzzfactory.
They should've just made one switch to engage the "chunk" knob instead of that frequency knob. Would've made it more usefull.
That being said, the drive sound was quite addicting. Something about it sounded more organic than some of the other more face-melting treble fuzzes out there. It can get quite thick. Not muffy thick but interestingly thick in it's own right. Leaning more on distortion/fuzz.
Maybe not worth the boutique price altogether, but sounds quite good too for thick chords. I got to give it props for that.
Although...i was using a tech 21 amp, so it was a modeling amp, but set to very basic flat settings. :wink:

This pedal has been taunting me for more than a year now. I haven't had any single fuzz pedal in my life but experience taught me to always go for the sound i like without compromise, lest I would fall on a vicous habit of trial and error. My research has led me to this sweet sounding fuzz pedal. The reason why I like it so much is because most of the fuzz pedals I have heard has some sort of "distortion-like" sound to it which kinda takes away the vintage feel I'm looking for. This pedal has a sweet unique tone to it which specially sings when finger picking. It also beautifully cleans up when the guitar's volume is turned down. The only things that are making me think twice is the price and the technical details on the website that reads "It won’t sound good through a small transistor amp and a cheap guitar". I'm not sure if my guitars are expensive enough to unleash it's full potential lol :)
Anyway, here's a picture of the pedal and a video of Scott McKeon demoing his signature pedal. Hope you guys enjoy it! ^-^

I might get a Twosome if budget allows this year. I recently traded my Blunderbuss for a Caroline Wave Cannon and for some reason, I developed HUGE Rat GAS. Managed to track down an LM308 Rat 2 and I'm a happy camper. Bumped the Wave Cannon off the board.
Does anyone use fuzz pedals for metal around here? I've found that if used with other pedals before them, they sound amazing and can feed back on command but still be fairly controllable. My go-to metal sound used to be an 808 running in front of a Blunderbuss but now I run my Rat into a Caroline Olympia. Really awesome metal sound, IMO.

Take a deep breath. This SM fuzz is very polished and pretty slick and when I say slick meaning its marketed pretty well.
I too am guilty into buying this hype. I bought a Lovepedal limited edition Chromed out MK II tonebender replica. The pedal sounded wicked but then again its not 100 percent wicked over any production Monsterpiece or Fulltone Soulbenders out there.
Fuzz boxes dont need to be that expensive. They always sell you the vintage trannies hype or limited production BS to pump up market value. There are tons of pretty good fuzz pedals out there that dont cost that much.
Have fun looking for diamonds in the rough.

Completely agree! Hence, the second thoughts on buying this baby...but until i find something that gives exactly the same tone and nuances, this remains to be on top of my GAS wish list :-D
One special consideration on germanium fuzz is that it is temperature sensitive. This is the only germanium fuzz pedal I have seen so far that claims to be temperature resistant. However, being a noob with fuzz, I'm not quite sure up to what extent this has been an issue here in Asia - specially that climates here can tend to be really hot! :cry:

IMHO, there are so many fuzz variants that its very hard to give a roadmap. You just have to know what "flavor" you want.
but generally, there are two ways you can go in your fuzz journey: 1. get a fuzz pedal with exotic features and all the bells and whistles (octave up, octave down, gate, compression, tone, etc...), or 2. get a simple touch sensitive fuzz wherein you can manipulate your sound though playing dynamics and volume roll-off.
personally, i'd go with #2. what I actually consider my main fuzz is the princess rage (sean's predecessor to the chickusa). because it is touch and input sensitive, you can get many tones just but adjusting volume and playing dynamics, or perhaps boosting with an OD.
mind you, i have a fuzz that has all the bells and whistles to shape the sound via many external and internal knobs (swollen pickle mk2), and i also have a danelectro french toast (octave up) and mxt blue box clone (octave down). but i always go back to the inexpensive pincess rage because of its simple operation and touch sensitive quality.
so i'd say its up to you, and what qualities you a looking for in a fuzz.

have you ever seen the guts of a regular sized fuzz face? it's a small circuit board with a whole lot of air inside. i'm actually surprised ngayon lang nila naisip na gawin ang fuzz face design in a smaller casing. now, it really is a lot more pedalboard friendly.

thanks bh! :-)
mostly all the tracks feature a black russian bigmuff boosted by an OCD,musket blunderbuss by itself for the lower gain starved fuzz sounds , also used a regular Si fuzzface at some point on track 3.

bru eto ba yung galing kay edgie?gusto ko yan, sayang di mo lang pwede i-cascade yung dalawang fuzz type
yup I think this is that one, got it from bh :) yeah sadly you can only one at a time I think it can be modded so you can engage both, but it also make sense sometimes hehe, kasi so much gain narin because both of them also has a boost function hehe, loving it so far :)

hmm. alin kaya sa dalawa? keeley fuzz head or wampler leviathan fuzz? parang same concept ung dalawa eh. parang stand alone kasi ung leviathan eh?
leviathan have a lot of gain, sometimes too much, not your typical fuzzface, fulltone69,death by audio, muff, etc. parang heavy distortion na sya instead than a fuzz.

Hi Guys! Buti nakita ko tong thread na ito... Newbie here in using Fuzz pedals my good friend (rocketboy) introduced me to fuzz pedals .. green muff to soul bender to fuzzbrite.. then i got into Stoner Rock and again to classic rock.. Now im really hooked up into Fuzzes. Im currently tweaking my Fuzz face clone.. i have around 15 different germanium transistors to try... "balak" ko din gumawa by order in the future... my finished projects (not yet housed, but working) FUZZ FACTORY, MASTOTRON, AENIMA, TORN SPEAKER, US and yes I will be housing it in one Big Box with 12 knobs, 6 footswitches and 4 toggle switches.... Yes it is FUZZ OVERLOAD! too much is never enough for GAS!.... (will post it here.. soon)
Sir Turi.. im back to DIY again.. :-D

at least amp mo kung transistor man eh solid state na merong high headroom. Mukhang di handle yung pasikotsikot ng fuzz pedal pag micro cube ang gamit.
2 cents worth....

i just got bitten my the fuzz bug!
when i got my first fuzz (barber trifecta from randymarsh) a couple of months back, nanibago ako. sanay kasi ako sa overdrive. i play only strats and i use the neck pickup almost exclusively. and then, i tried the fuzz with the bridge pickup and i fell in love with the sound. on the trifecta, i keep the volume and fuzz knobs at noon, the toggle on position 2 (center - i believe this is the jumbo bender mode), tone at 10:00 (pushed in), sludge at 2:00. the tone and sludge setting can get muddy when using the neck pickup and i find it perfect for the bridge.

Sir saan nakakabili ng parts for the build? Sa Deeco ba complete ba sila ng needed electronic parts?. Balak ko gumawa ng fuzz pedal.
Kumpleto naman sila.. either Deeco(cubao) or Alexan(mega) syempre mas kumpleto sa Raon. If your new to DIY.. better Silicon Fuzzface muna, if makakuha ka germanium Transistors much better... napaka simple kasi ng Fuzzface you can tweak the values.. for your ears desire. Kahit walang PCB kayang gawin.. point to point lang. Less than Php 100 may fuzzface kana (no enclosure) 8-)

Share ko lang mga Fuzzy friends... :-P
regarding a Vintage Fuzz clone or Orig .. with a WAH or modulation before or after your chain of effects ... hindi gagana ang wah mo.. with a Fuzz.. magiging volume pedal lang siya... details of this.. ask the "Gurus". parang buffer or impedance issue... .. some says you need a buffer or a booster..
In my experience.. you just need to "True Bypass" your wah to work with a Fuzz. I think pag nabypass yung "buffer" circuit nung wah.. Ok na siya...
Para sa mga nag hahanap ng Fuzz factory Clone.. i have succesfully cloned it using Mullard OC44 transistor.. problem is wala na akong stock. :|

Sir pwede naman po kahit anong transistor for the fuzz face.. PNP fuzzface circuit almost parehas lang ng NPN fuzzface circuit.. same values baliktad lang po ang polarity ng mga parts... if gagamit kayo ng "Silicon" transistor... kailangan pong "i-tweak" yung value ng parts. stock values for the parts are meant to fit a "Germanium" transistor pair. hope this helps... :eek:

+1...
experience-wise.. mostly builders says "critical" daw ang HFE.. for me.. HINDI eh.. I think you can use any Germanium with Very High HFE and Very Low HFE. you could still get a "ballpark" tone of a good FUzz. ang mahalaga is how the transistor react to the circuit. very subjective.. kaya experimentation is a requirement.. yun pa isa BIASING.. well biasing is only needed if your not using the "IDEAL" HFE. madaming hindi sinasabi sa pag buo ng FUZZFACE kasi sobrang dali niya. Primitive nga daw ang design, actually its a simpleng project to build kaya lang.. ang daming hassle... and it reacts to the amp youre using.. Different amp, different tone. Im using a Fender Clone(tube), Mesa boogie .22(tube) and a Squire Bass amp 40. My favorite is the bass amp. :idea:

This is a Fuzz Factory CLone I just got from a guy here..who says this was built by the better sophisticated pedal cloners here..hahaha..
First Plug and Im ADDICTED...
First time I got expose to fzz was with a Biyang Fuzz Star..when I was starting out my pedal addiction..I didnt like it ang ingay, and parang mahilig lang ako sa chug chug toanz noon.. and didnt buy the freaking pedal kahit it was dirt cheap....and cursed FUZZ forever..
Pucha..nung marinig ko BLACK KEYS...ayon na!!! WOW..ganda pala ng tunog..pag ginamit ng maayos..buti nalang may fuzz effect simulation sa Zoom G3..pangtawid GUTOM...
may nakipagtrade sakin before ng clone din na Fuzz factory..na saktong kuha yung graphics sa pedal facee..for my Gvnor2 sa classifieds..di ko naasikaso kasi paalis na yata ako noon..pero I was interested..hahaha sino ba yung forumer na yun..

These are Fuzz factory Settings. Probe settings start with Stab at 5:00 and Drive and Comp 12:00. Try the setting below called Pitch Drop. As you mute the strings and your foot gets closer to the plate the pitch goes from low to high like a wammy bar pull.
Volume is set for unity gain which differs slightly with different Fuzz Factories so we leave volume off the setting list.
If you use the basic Probe setting I mention above with Stab at 5:00 and Drive and Comp at 12:00 you can change the feedback sound while moving your foot. Zack shows this Fuzz Probe setting in the Movie clip at his site.
Gate: 5:00 Comp: 10:00 Drive: 11:00 Stab: 5:00

I used the Roland Beebaa for the 1st time kagabi on a live setting. Unfortunately, nung turn na namin tumugtog, pinahinaan nung landowner yung mga amp!wahaha. Diko madinig sarili ko, and was too busy minding my singing.So the next best thing to do eh ipagamit ko sa iba yung pedal. Ayun. Even at a low volume, it cuts through. I loved it's low growl, it does not sound too bassy. The other fuzz type is too fizzy, matinis. Kailangan na nating paayos yung tone knob nickyboy hihi. Hindi pako sure if someone took a video, hopefully meron. Daming mga fuzz people na tumugtog kagabi, Switch and Cat Valium to name a few. All of them approved of the pedal.

I loved it's low growl, it does not sound too bassy. The other fuzz type is too fizzy, matinis. Kailangan na nating paayos yung tone knob nickyboy hihi. Hindi pako sure if someone took a video, hopefully meron. Daming mga fuzz people na tumugtog kagabi, Switch and Cat Valium to name a few. All of them approved of the pedal.
Aprub! Time to sell for $500. LOL.
Contact cleaners lang siguro para maayos yung tone knob? Replacement of any part is a no no, hehe. Sayang walang video.
I heard you took on 5 or more chix in the pool after the gig.. totoo? :wink: Yan ang effect ng paggamit ng fuzz na yan. Hahabulin ka ng mga chix pag narinig nila ang fuzz mo.

American components na dinala sa Taiwan para gawin ng mga Taiwanese? Taiwanese components na ginagawa ng Amerikano sa Taiwan? Elaborate pls.
Which brings me to a question. (for all you guys) Do NOS components really matter?
Ika nga ng signature ni Mike Ibrahim:

I've seen and heard cool demos of this pedal from youtube. Mostly demos playing 7 string guitars or downtuned songs. I think the Four Eyes fuzz is perfect for doom, downtuned, stoner metal type of music. Yes? :?
There's one for sale here. The nose pedal toggles between two frequency presets. Nagtitimpi pa lang ako hihi.

i am not a believer of fretboard's wood tone, whether it is maple,rosewood, or ebony, i believe it is in the setup. I'll give a suggestion to adjustment like pickups, string height etc etc. one is logic when it comes to fretboard like fender products, kaya nga may choices ka if you want a maple or rosewood fretboard. Kung may difference ang tone when it comes to fretboard, edi sana iba ang presyo ng maple sa rosewood

some points:
1) contrary to popular belief, a pedal's overall output (the measure of loudness) can also be known when the volume pot is MAXED. setting the level pot on 12 and comparing to other dirt pedals with volume pots also set at 12 is not a proper measurement of its output. the sweep (log,linear) can also deceive testers. 2 similar pedals fitted with different pots - one with a linear pot, the other logarithmic - will show that when both set at 10:00, the one with a linear pot will appear to be louder.
2) in relation to #1, fuzz faces have generally low output, and the value of the volume pot is a big factor. usually 500K ginagamit diyan. due to its relatively low output, users tend to set the volume at 2:00-3:00 to get a little above unity gain. i once tried a 1M pot sa Rat build dati and damn, tindi ng treble roll-off, so i reverted to the 100K value specified. my guess is that this is due to the effective resistance in series to the output signal because of the higher value pot used in the FF, hence treble only opens up when the pot wiper (middle lug) is near the clockwise end (max setting).
this can also be demonstrated by fitting different value pots sa volume control ng gitara: try 3 linear pots with different values - 100K, 500K, 1Meg - and then compare which pot killed more treble when the knob is set at the middle range (5-6 kunyari).
tsaka na yung impedance issues. kulang pa ang aking chenes dun.

puro od at distortion gamit ko e, first time ko palang gagamit ng fuzz (experimenting)..
ano kaya ok na masusuggest niyo na mga fuzz pedals for blues and rock music? predominantly i'll be using my strat more than my les paul btw... :wave:
Muff types - Skreddy Fuzz pedals and variations - pwedeng tame fuzz ala OD to all out classic/modern muff tones ala Gilmour. I tried it, delicious.
I have yet to try a black EHX Sovtek Big Muff on a strat pero madami ako nababasa na maganda daw, but you have to mod the original circuit to make it sound like the green Russian one.
Bili na ng fuzz bro, nakaka adik! :)

if sa JB ka nag try, try the red on a tube amp na laney. yung cub 10 will give you a good idea.
also, you can try it on an 8 inch speaker, iba rin dating. vintage yung pagka ripped speaker.
man, in regards to a fuzz that has everything, medyo malabo yun.
parang apples and oranges ang fuzz. you have a the muff for thickness (i mean REALLY thick), you have the fuzzface types for fuzz that cleans up well and is classic rock ripped speaker sound (a muff circuit will not do this), and then meron naman yung buzz master types.
devi ever has a lot of this variation and the muff types too.
besides, the fun is collecting the variations of this fuzz trinity, so a fuzz to end all fuzzes is no fun. IMHO. ^-^

i was not fortunate enough to try any "muff" fuzz yesterday since they were out of stocks, except for the metal muff which is not my taste... just need to ask, does a muff based circuitry sounds good too when the guitar volume is rolled back? this was what attracted me most to the fuzzface.... :-P
another question, which is better (tone and value wise), branded (ehx, mxr, catelina etc) or yun mga pinoy made diy fuzz pedals? (napaka simple kasi ng circuitry ng fuzz e ) seems hard for me to spend north of 5k for a fuzzy pedal. :wink:

nasayo naman yun e. the general rule is, if it sounds good to your ears, ikaw lang makaka-determine if it's worth the price. if namamahalan ka, then it's not worth it.
btw, second hand big muffs in the classifieds usually runs just 3.5k
also, the metal muff is not a fuzz. it's a distortion. they just have a license to call it a muff as the muff is ehx's claim to fame.

san ba kinukuha ung NOS transistor. di ko magets ung new old stock eh. haha my mga nababasa ako na mas maganda daw mga fuzz factory nung 90s dahil dun sa NOS transistor eh. nagkakaubusan daw ng ganon kaya nagpalit ng ibang materials si ZVex.
anyway, sino kaya un nagawa na un. dapat ata dun sa DIY thread ako magpost.
*gusto ko sana ako magdesign ng exterior finish. hehehe.
NOS - New Old Stock = luma na siya, pero bago pa din kasi hindi pa nagagamit.. most likely ganito pwede itsura nya.. parang kaldero minsan.. pero meron din silicon na parang kaldero din ang casing nya...

Mukhang Germanium yan. See that metal thingy? Ge = metal, Si = Plastic
bru post mo nga yung ZabFX custom mo.

First time I tried a Fuzz was when I had my guitar combo installed in my laptop. Ang ingay hindi ko mamix ng maayos. Tapos narinig ko ginamit ni John Mayer sa crossroads. Dun ko lang naappreciate yung tunog na yun kapag inayos talaga. Masarap kapag ang Fuzz level is around 6-7, tapos yung tone level niya mababa na nasa 2-3.

Me mga times na nakakatuwa yung "punit speaker" sputter sound, minsan nakakairita. Ahahaha.
Buti na lang controlled ng compression knob sa fuzz factory yung sputter. :)
I tried the jamming along with Andy's demo of the fuzz factory sa PGS, lahat ng setting ginaya ko.. Very consistent with the sounds made on video demo IMHO. So, what you hear on you tube is what you get. All oscillations and sputter and stuff.
Fav fuzz ko ngayon 'to. :-D

OK talaga yung fuzz factory.. it was one of the first fuzz na naclone ko.. medyo mahirap lang.. humanap ng substitute germanium transistors.. pero ngayun ok na.. daming kong stock.. :money:
next clone ko was the Wolly Mammoth/Mastotron.. I play bass for a band now.. kaya magagamit ko.. almost same lang ng Fuzz factory pero mas ok siya sa bass... imho. >:D
Try to check out.. Devi Ever's Torn's Speaker and Ænima! i made clones of this in one circuit...

Ang ingay ng single coils kapag walang gate dialed in. :-P
Sineset ko lang ng 9 o'clock hanggang 12 o'clock lang yun gate. Tas merong 9 o'clock na compression. Same... maxed yung stability. Riot kapag wala eh haha.

I never tried an actual fuzz pedal. I tried only those in multi-fx and listen to some videos on youtube. I came to conclude that fuzz seems to be okay when doing double stops, single notes, lead things, etc. Pero pang gawin mo siya pang rhythm especially doing barre or power chords, parang it sounds "muddy". I don't know. :eek:

tama ka sir minsan hirap pang chords ng fuzz.. pang single note bagay.. "PERO" ... ... try to listen to listen to black sabbath's sweet leaf.. AFAIK .. fuzz yun sir.. mas ok gamitin fuzz if you're covering black sabbath.. or mga stoner rock songs.. syempre depende din sa fuzz na gagamitin mo.. at amp.. namimili ng amp ang fuzz..
Sir Rubis, Just curious sa Germanium transistors, Sa Deeco ba meron niyan? hahaha O Pinadeliver pa from abroad?
Second emotion kay sir Iceblink. Gusto ko din gumawa ng fuzz factory clone o kaya stone bender eh... hehehehe
In general.. yes madami pang available na germanium at silicon na luma dito sa Pilipinas pero dina kumpleto.. you need to research for replacements na meron dito.... finders keepers lang.. sa deeco wala ng germanium..
I have acquired a good amount of NOS germanium transistors good for Fuzz face, Fuzzrite(Si), Tone bender, Fuzz factory.... medyo mahabang oras at medyo malaking pera na ginugol ko... (maliit pa para sa iba :oops:) minsan talo.. dahil sa luma na siya "Leaky" na.. so sa batch of 10 or 20 swerte ka if may ok na 2 pares.. so if makabili ka ng 2 pcs. it doesn't mean tapos kana.. kailangan mo subukan sa project mo if ok tunog.. if not "Leaky" yung nabili mo... kaya mapapansin mo.. mahal sa ebay ng germanium transistor kasi nga... in a batch of 100.. malamang ang matched pair dun... swerte 5 pairs.. kaya din mahal boutique pedal na may NOS germanium transistor.. even NOS silicon transistor are hard to find na.. swertihan if the new replacement will sound ok sa project mo... its really exciting finding them.. sourcing out what store has it... and buying them all... hahaha >:D

So rubis915, will it really matter kung NOS or brand new run yung transistor? Kung pareho naman values nila..
Plus... sa NOS lang naman nagkakaron ng "leaks" diba? Kasi kung (example lang) 5 pairs out of a hundred ang good trannies, sa panahon ngayon.. that means meron na manufacturing defect, sa laki ng percentage ng defective sa isang run.
Going back.. kung maggawa ka man ng fuzzrite or buzzsaw or fuzz face clone for selling, consider me first on your list ha? :-D i want that #001

Salamat for reading.. "take note" i'm not really good at this.. i'm talking from my experience and what i know and some what i read.. :eek:
1. regarding nos at new "silicon" transistors sa tingin ko lang wala masyado pag kakaiba sa tunog problem is yung ibang ginamit sa lumang mga pedal dati wala na or discontinued so.. hahanap ka ang substitute.. yun... meron nag pagkakaiba sa gain or frequency response sa ginawa mong circuit.. in most fuzz circuit.. some favors the silicon kasi mas stable lalo sa temperature.. iba tunog ng germanium pedal sa openfield concert.. vs sa music museum.. hahah
Ive read Keeley has reproduction of the old Fuzzrite... and they are Limited edition 40 units only why.. kasi daw.. nakakuha sila ng NOS silicon transistor.. same as the original.. this will atest na .. they favor the NOS... here it is.. at $269 http://www.robertkeeley.com/2012/01/custom-shop-releases-60s-mosrite-fuzz-rite-recreation/
2. regarding nos at new "germanium" transistors... yes meron din reproduction ng mga germanium transistors.. again most boutique pedal builders "favor" NOS againts new. iba daw talaga ang tunog... i think pag bago ang germanium transistor.. sobrang liit ng leak nito or zero.. sa katagalan magleleak na.. parang battery lang... in time nag tutubig na... "parang" ganun...
3. Most manufacturer diverted to making silicon transistor mas stable at mas precise at mas maliit but even 2 silicon that came from the same batch "may" sound different. maliit ang chances na defective or magkaiba ang frequency responce ng 2 silicon in the same batch mas precise na kasi ang production ngayun...
i hope may nasagot ako sa tanong mo...
Lastly.. yes .. i have cloned the fuzzrite at fuzzface... working but not yet finished pag natapos better.. ipapagamit ko muna sa mga gusto magpaclone.. mas OK diba.. itest mo muna ng mabuti...mahirap dipala swak sa setup mo...e nabili mo na.. :eek: lahat ng tweaky parts ilalabas ko sa case.. para madaming tone.. I'll post it soon... pwamis...
Share ko lang din... Here's is something a "FUZZ freak" will watch to the end... 28mins of demo..heheh If ever you got bored.. fuzz is not for you... IMHO.. hahah Enjoy!!! I favor the MK1.5=Fuzz face..
Thanks for the time answering bro. So tonal preference din talaga ng mga sikat na botik pedal-makers yung nabanggit mong difference in use of a NOS tranny than the new productions. I was beginning to think na para lang mabenta mga pedals, ina-associate nila yung term na NOS. Para may mystique effect lang.
My Fuzz Factory has two germanium trannies with "ZVex" labels. :? And they say Zvex uses NOS germaniums. I'll take pictures when I can. Fuzz factory owners, kindly check yours lol.

Most important for me is biasing of voltage sa Q1 and Q2.Second yung transistor.I used BC109 hfe 350 for Q1 and BC109C hfe700.
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: tonwins11 on June 22, 2013, 08:28:51 PM
Bro, how much voltage should there be in the collector? 4.5V ba?
Magkaiba voltage ng Q1 and Q2 collector.Sa Q1 1.2v-2v.Sa Q2 3.2-5v hanapin mo na lang yung sweet spot dyan.Mas maganda may trimmer ka sa Q2.
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: tonwins11 on June 23, 2013, 02:03:55 AM
Already biassed it. Q1 is around 1.2V then Q2 is around 5.2V. Originally at 8.2K resistor for Q2, it was around 3V+. Then I changed the 8.2K to 4.7K. Seems okay din mana both with humbuckers and single coils. Anyway bro, the schem I followed doesn't have the trimmer. If ever I like to replace the resistor for Q2 to 10K trimpot, how would it wire it? There are only two holes for the original resistor slots. The trimpot has 3 lugs. Pano yon? TIA... :-D

haha.. mag aabang ako sa bintana nyo... :wave:
But... ang sabi dun sa video.. ang mk1.5 daw is more likely a "Fuzzface" may difference sa mga piyesa pero wont affect the tone.. nagiisip din nga ako FYI bro.. a fuzz factory if a fuzz face talaga daw.. nilabas lang mga tweaky parts.. bias, gate.. battery sag...
yung DIY fuzzface ko at Fuzzfactory "almost" same lang tunog nila medyo magkaiba sa gain at clean up.... (not using tweaky knobs) take note mag kaiba pa sila ng Transistor... fuzzfactory (AC188) faceface (2 japanese Germ trannny)

HAHAHAHAHA..may nakita akong gut shots..linis din ng pag buo niya..parang mala "arc effects"..nakita ko kasi yan may nag bebenta dito 2nd hand yung hawk and f___mountain....siguro mga early versions kasi yung nandito iba itsura..nakakatempt iskorin, pero parang a bit pricey sa pedal budget ko..though murang mura na compared sa 200usd prices ng bago..hahaha..

medyo mahal na nga sobra mga Botik pedals... si Devi Ever medyo nagmura na if direct store order meron siya ngayun.. mga $55-60 nalang.. mga 2 knob fuzz..
ano bang reasonable price sa iyo?.. if ever magbenta ako ng fuzzface at fuzzrite.. :money: would it be reasonable sa 2K? or 2.5K take note.. around 1.5K ang total cost... looking it as a builder at buyer...

I think fairly priced na yan, go for it! naiimagine kong marketing theme "My First Fuzz"...parang "My First Watch" na pang kid..parang just to learn the ropes sa fuzz..since medyo acquired taste ang fuzz...kahit ako, lately lang naenganyo sa fuzz sounds..hehehe
Good luck..and madami namang susporta na fuzz freaks dito! wooot! you can always enslave the human race with your fuzz beast..when things dont go right..hahaha.. :wave: :wave:

tama ka Sir gandydancer123.. it is really an acquired taste.. at napakaliit ng market dito sa atin ng Fuzz.. the profit wont motivate you.. its the user who LIKES it will... me? nito lang March or April lang nag simula sa FUzz... my friend got me into Fuzzes... from Black Sabbath to The Black Keys to Tool ... from classic to stoner...
Maraming Salamat sa motivation mga pre... Will make 3 fuzzface and 3 fuzzrite initially.. post ko dito.. soon...

@gandydancer123 Maraming salamat! long way to go pa para ibenta sa mga shop.. "kailangan pulido talaga ang gawa.. para di pamahiya" maraming factors na pwede iconsider pagdating sa pricing bro.. para sa akin number 1 factor would be.. mababa ng "konti" pricing din sa ibang nagbebenta kung ako lang nagbebenta ng ganung pedal mas mataas ng konti.. looking at it as a buyer at buider again..
@dirtybluesplayer Hats off ako kay MarkV.. i have tried the shreadhead .. very versatile pedal!!! :drool:

I'm so loving the fuzz face I've made especially the farty bass sound. Dapat palang maging mahasa ka rin sa pag gamit ng fuzz. Dapat triads lang yung gamitin mo kung gawin mo siyang pang rhythm. Doesn't sound good when strumming more than 3 notes. YMMV. :-D

depende pa rin tol sa design. HFe-dependent ang madaming fuzz circuits - pag ginamitan yung iba ng mga high gain trannies iba na tone nila. that's where circuit modifications come to play to compensate kahit papano yung gain range na habol. kung 1:1 parts copy kasi pero magsa-substitute ka lang nga transistor, iba ang tunog eh. experiment lang nang experiment, pero maigi na ring magbasa to fully understand the operation nung mga parts. kahit hanggang ngayon nasosorpresa pa rin ako sa nalalaman ko :-) well, dahil siguro di naman ako EE :-D
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: tonwins11 on July 01, 2013, 06:02:01 PM
Yup. Tama din. I don't have something to compare eh kaya pag gumana na yung circuit eh masaya na ako. What I've made lang din yung sa akin eh instead of a trimmer, ginawa kong potentiometer yung pang bias ng trannies. And more so, BC108/9 yung nasa schem, eh walang available sa amin kaya 3904 yung ginamit ko. I guess 3904 has more Hfe. Mas higher yung gain, right?

Post by: tonwins11 on July 01, 2013, 06:04:29 PM
Anyway, Sean, how did it go yung kay Kevin na gawa mong fuzz with booster? How was the sequence? guitar>bossfet>fuzz or guitar>fuzz>bossfet?
I have some pending circuits (fatboost, SHO, Bluesbreaker and Fuzzface). Thinking of making a 2-in-1 stomp. What's nice to pair up with the Fuzzface?

+1 kay Musikerochan
"experiment lang ng experiment.. "
that i want to do.. maintindihan lahat ng parts ng circuit.. yung tamang sa isip lang.. alam mo na mangyayari if babaan mo yung isang resistor or taasan.. hehehe
base on my experience... i have stock (around 25) of germanium transistors.. and have tested them all sa fuzz face circuit.. some will sound good some bad.. High gain don't clean up that much.. Low gain will clean up.. pero bitin naman sa gain... in consideration sa HFE.. its good to know this... plus your "EAR" ... a pair of germanium transistor with 80 and 120 gain is good.. but not all.. depende pa din "Sonically" by ear na ito after biasing.. "natanto" ko lang ito while tweaking.. Why these boutique pedal makers... always use OC44, AC128, NKT275... etc... sa Fuzzface? because they sound "beautiful" against other germanium transistor with the same Hfe...
@tonwins sir yung farty sounds ng fuzz face is a "misbiased" transistor... isa yan sa magandang tunog ng fuzz...
"Alam mong sira yung tunog pero sarap sa tenga..."

+100.
Gusto ko yung farty sound eh. :-D Taba pakinggan. Ma try nga magslap. Parang magandang idea yon.
I got mine with a bias knob to tweak lang din. So bale, gain, volume and bias knobs.
It's good that you have available trannies to choose from. I'm not from Luzon and here in our locality, limited lang yung available na mga electronic parts. Ma try nga ng 5088 naman. I have few I bought from epektos.

boost>fuzz. ginawa ko kasing low gain yung fuzz, and the booster will help goose the input to give it more distortion. parang tonebender na din pag engaged pareho. boost>fuzz face kasi ang topography ng TBender.

nakagamit ako nito twice.. ayus din tunog nya.. naka germanum transistors din yung reissue..
6.7k -- 2nd hand

Sorry for the OT Fuzz Freaks.
Pesteng KLON KTR na yan muntik na ako nagkaroon ng dalawa pero nagkandaloko dahil sa IPAD, di ko na check doon pumasok yung message ng supplier na-waive tuloy ako.
Ngayon discontinued na naman :-P
Yung silver klon pre bought it as a celebratory piece nung first year ni junior. Guitar Sofa had A LOT in stock that time. Trip na trip ko yung tunog at pumasok nga sa isipan ko na kukuha pa ng isa. After 6 months ata tambay ulit ako sa TGP discontinued na daw KLON and of course wala na sa Guitar Sofa.
Sayang....could have been a nice investment piece. Im pretty sure a good clone could get you near the original. That clone of yours can hang with the real deal most of the time......what clone is it?

After researching, napansin ko na mahirap hanapin yung 5k reversed log pot para sa mastotron, At medyo nahihirapan din po akong intindihin kung papano gumagana yung lalagyan ng resistor para gumana kasi mejo teknikal na ang usapan sa ibang forums eh. Sir Rubis, patulong naman po, halimbawa eh may 10k log pot ako, o linear, papaano po ba siya magiging reversed log? Salamat po!

Sir Juan Thanks din sa info sa Musket.. havent check it out yet.. mukhang ok siya
sa ginawa kong Mastotron.. hindi na ako gumamit ng reverse potz.. the usual na available na pots.. parang sa fuzz factory STAG knob dapat yung reverse log.. tanda ko lang kung anong potz yung dapat reverse.. you could draw a counter-clockwise arrow nalang... :nosebleed: I maybe wrong.. pwede atang baliktarin yung yung connection ng wire ng LOGS 1 and 3 ... wag lang yung 2 sa gitna talaga yun... if the circuit needs the 3 logs ...guess ko lang yun ha.. maybe someone here could post a solid fact... :eek:

sa ginawa kong Mastotron.. hindi na ako gumamit ng reverse potz.. the usual na available na pots.. parang sa fuzz factory STAG knob dapat yung reverse log.. tanda ko lang kung anong potz yung dapat reverse.. you could draw a counter-clockwise arrow nalang... :nosebleed: I maybe wrong.. pwede atang baliktarin yung yung connection ng wire ng LOGS 1 and 3 ... wag lang yung 2 sa gitna talaga yun... if the circuit needs the 3 logs ...guess ko lang yun ha.. maybe someone here could post a solid fact... :eek:
Salamat pa din po sa info. Maybe I'll try to have a simple log pot for this mastotron. Can't wait to build one puro theory lang ang meron ako eh wala pa sa practice hahahaha in 2 weeks siguro sana makagawa na I'll update you guys! sa linggo mamamalengke ako sa quiapo ng mga pyesa hahaha sino gusto sumama? :wave: :wave: :wave:

Hi guys, just wanna ask about fuzzes. Have you encountered sa mga fuzzes nyo like the fuzz only sounds when strings 4, 5 and 6 are hit and strings 1, 2, and 3 sounds clean?
What could have been the problem?

I hope makapagpost din ako ng soundclips... if ever may gusto.. order na. hehehe :wave: housed in a smaller enclosure (MXR size).
Sana makagawa din ako soundclips. Hindi lang ako pamilyar sa record record hahaha. I don't have a mic with me so baka iphone clip lang.
Hey, tone report. The Riteful Fuzz is delicious. On stock mode, low gain fuzz sya good for single note riffs and stuff, and some power chords. But not that clear on a whole chord strum on 5 or 6 strings. It's a bright fuzz, napansin ko.. or dahil naka 5" solid state ZT lunchbox lang ako.
Kapag naka boost on... ayun! Mismo. Bassy, ballsy, hairy fuzz. Dito wala na talaga chord na maganda tunog. Pang single note riffs na talaga lang sya mag-shine.
Kapag naka saturate switch on, and boost on. Ayun.. total chaos. Merong screech na maririnig. Someone might find use for it musically but I can't. Di ko sya macontrol haha. Ingay! Pero in a good way. If you're into really saturated fuzz sound that's almost out of control... You might wanna try it.
I love it just stock, at paminsan siguro gamitin yung boost. ^-^
Cute pati ng germanium transistors. Small hats inside my pedal. Point-to-point. Handmade goody. Can't wait to handpaint it. I am thinking of bringing it to my friend's automotive painting. Tanggalin ko siguro guts para all-out yung pintura. Sana lang di ko masira haha.
Naka strat nga pala ako. Hindi ko pa natetest on humbuckers. It might sound different. Solid-state pati, it might sound a whole lot different on tube amps.
Me libre pang shirt. Hihi. Sakto ZT eh. Thanks again Chris! :wink:

Post by: rubis915 on July 25, 2013, 12:36:21 PM
Thanks Nickson!
You can't control that screech/rf noise sound pero pwede siya mawala.. by backing down the Fuzz depth control about 7-8 lang.. yung stock mode malinis talaga tunog kahit asa 10 ang FUZZ depth... the original Fuzzrite used a 350K potz.. kahit 400K sana.. wala akong makita nun.. 500K lang asa market.. anyway.. nilagay ko lang yung mods parang extra/free feature nalang. ako? mas trip ko yung saturated mode.. mas matabang bubuyog ang tunog... hehehe >:D
iba din tunog niya sa humbuckers( SD59/JB) at tube(boogie/fender) amps.. if ever mag kaproblema sa pagkalas/pagbabalik mo.. let me know.
by the way .. hindi siya germanium its a vintage silicon [gooey brown stuff] **** transistor i used to use the market available na 2n2222 at 2n3904 pero di mahuli yung tunog.. luckily i found sa vintage transistors...
the only germanium there is the 1n34 or 1n60 diode
Enjoy!!!

pero the 15xl really worked for me..not too big, not too small..its got eq knobs,simple effects..power squeezer...covers the low end freq well....love it to bits actually...even told the buyer to sell it back if his kid didnt like it..hahaha

mismo! hahaha dinagdagan ko na ng compression, medyo binawasan ko yung stab para kumagat pero wala eh OD sound parin lol though ok naman tunog ko sa cheap amp ko at even straight sa PA nung sinubukan ko minsan. kaya sa ngayon, di kami bati ng spider iv eh haha

kaka-discover ko lang ng bagong settings sa Fuzz Factory.
Napansin ko sakin, mas mababa yung tone knob ko, mas may 'compression' feel yung tone nya. siguro kasi mas litaw yung low end.
di ko lang alam kung same sa ibang users ng FF sa ibang amp.

^mukhang misbiased. check your resistor values bukod sa transistor orientation. what trannies does the schem call for, 2n3904 mismo? o replacement mo lang yan? baka kasi BCE ang pinout ng original tranny, tapos you are using a board for a BCE config. EBC ang pinout ng 3904.
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: walanakamingyelo on August 19, 2013, 02:27:17 PM
EBC naman sir. Yung sa Schem ang Hinahanap is 2N222a pero I have both of them and 2n3904 in pairs did a mix and match at yung mga resulta kung hindi malakas na maganda sa tenga pero namamatay eh smooth naman pero mahina.... Baka sa resistor value kasi ang dapat eh 56k pero i got a 67k instead. Tinanong ko po sa inyo noong nakaraan at sabi niyo ok lang naman siya pero baka bumili ako ng 56k para accurate na talaga...

Sa sobrang excite ko di ko na sya naalok man lang ng meryenda o ano sigurado ko oo yun kasi parang wala syang pupunyahan. Tatanungin ko sana sya.....
1. Was Siamese Dream recorded thru a mutron bi-phase? 2. How do you set-up your ultra clean and filthy tone seamlessly? 3. What were your delay settings on the outro lead to Drown? And lastly I would have given him a hug for making Adore. That album sustained me thru dark moments of my life.
Oh well.

EBC naman sir. Yung sa Schem ang Hinahanap is 2N222a pero I have both of them and 2n3904 in pairs did a mix and match at yung mga resulta kung hindi malakas na maganda sa tenga pero namamatay eh smooth naman pero mahina.... Baka sa resistor value kasi ang dapat eh 56k pero i got a 67k instead. Tinanong ko po sa inyo noong nakaraan at sabi niyo ok lang naman siya pero baka bumili ako ng 56k para accurate na talaga... Maraming salamat sa suporta at tulong sir!

ultimate BC! sinugod namin bagyo para makapanuod! kaw nakatabi ! mutron bi phase is a good question :mrgreen:
Yup we had that small talk about last year same month sabi ko me bagyo rin nung nasa manila kayo. He corrected me saying it was a monsoon. After that i said my thank you and goodbye tapos dun lang sya sa labas ng shop.......wondering where to go.
Sayang talaga sana inalok ko na lang na pumasok but i was divided to respect his side of being just a person walking aimlessly nowhere that afternoon and me being a fan asking questions and being in his face.

I am really, really, really contemplating on this one... not because of the fact that this (as the seller says) is as thick as the ZVEX Wooly Mammoth, but the art... THE ART...
may difference ba tone-wise? yun yung clone na sobrang lapit sa knobs yung switch diba? haha
hahaha oo, pinalitan ko ng knobs na mas maliit yung malapit sa footswitch..tone wise..parang wala naman..I just found the old one Im using easier to tweak..nasanay nalang siguro and wala na akong space sa board..sakto lang yung pedal footprint ng luma..hahaha

Hi fuzz peeps I badly need your help :cry: :-( :cry:
Sa ngayon, yung Fuzz Factory ko eh nagbu-buzz pag engaged sya. :oops: This started nung last gig namin, napansin ko nalang maingay na sya pag engaged. Yung ingay nya eh hindi yung hiss ng isang pedal pag mataas na yung gain. Yung ingay nya eh yung tipong parang tunog ng amp pag hawak mo yung kableng nakakabit.
Kahit itodo ko yung gate ng pedal, no go parin. I checked my patch cables, ok naman. Sinubukan ko syang iplug nang walang ibang pedals, ganun parin. Same issue pag gamit ko yung psu o battery ko. I checked baka may part ng cable ko yung hindi nagsusurface sa loob ng pedal pero everything looks ok naman.
any suggestion for my situation guys? thanks in advance! :cry:

sa nabasa ko.. BC108 ata or BC109 yung ibang fuzz face late 60s pwede din naman 2n2222 or 2n3904/3906(pnp)
hanap ka lang ng asa range na 80-100hfe tingin ko gagana.. kahit lower..

maganda talaga tunog ng germanium.. imho.. pero di naman night/day difference. in a live situation better gumamit nalang ng silicon para sure ka... in a band context usually di naman mapapansin ang tone mo ng ibang guitarista.. pwera nalang kung may SOLO spot ka.. pero kung minimal soloing.. ok na silicon..
this is a big help... try closing your eyes and tell which is which...

pwede yun sir.. better yet hanap ka muna ng schematic ng NPN fuzz face using the transistor from that schematic para mas sure... yung 330 ohms.. pwede yan hanggang 1K .. if nahihinaan ka sa volume. yan ata yung COUNTOUR knob sa Fulltone 69 (4 knob)

ok ba bumili ng germanium DUNLOP fuzz face(large manufacturers)? ang cute kasi eh hehehe may nababasa kasi ako na kapag Ge FF daw mas maganda handmade dahil natetest talaga bawat transistor compared sa silicon na stable.

Ayos, Silicon nalang gagawin ko. Actually mas interesado ako sa pag build kesa gamitin yung pedal :idea:
Yung fuzzface mas madali ata gawin kasi 2 na matched transistor ang kailangan. Yung tone bender kailangan 3 tranny, na mas mataas ang hfe nung 3rd Q. Nabasa ko lang, and curious lang talaga ako.

This is where my love for that fuzz sound landed me:
Which is the most saturated at max fuzz? Which has the most highs? Which is the darkest sounding?
TIA!
Hi bro... here's my observation (although I haven't really spent much time with each pedal to have their sound resonate in my head)...
1. Most saturated: Riteful Fuzz on saturated mode ON and boost ON; and the Roland BeeBaa (on a solid state amp)
2. Most highs: Skreddy Pigmine believe it or not; and the D*A*M Tonebender replica (had to turn the treble on the amp down)
3. Darket sounding: Russian Muff
:)
Hey bro, how are your Malekko fuzz pedals?
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: glassjaw_jc on October 26, 2013, 12:03:02 AM
Thanks man! The Malekko's are all bastos. You should try them. :) Fave so far is the Plus Ultra and the silicon B:Assmaster. There are still a lot on my GAS list though. Never ending fuzz GAS! You have a nice collection. Wide range of sound. The Pig Mine and the Fuzzrite clone seems interesting. The Muff is kinda predictable. I was hoping the Pig Mine would be darker since it's supposed to be a true blue Muff clone :D I've played a Black Muff before and it's already kinda bordering on distortion. Watchathink?

I knew you'd say that about the Pig Mine haha. Yes, nagulat ako nung nalaman ko it's a muff derivative (bano ako sa fuzz noong nabili ko sya), and a pedal that's supposed to sound at least near Gilmour's muff on the "Animals" album. Even if I turn the toggle to FAT mode, it still has that high frequency peeking through, but I don't dial down the tone knob too much as it would sound bland. Maybe on another amp, but on three amps I tried... no luck. 2 fenders and a ZT hehe.
The Black Muff?.. is thick.. and got balls, so I still consider it as a benchmark muff sound for my ear, although.. mas matalas ang US Muff para sa pandinig ko, pero parehong may taba. Yes, bordering distortion.. but the fatness of the sound on single coils is truly worthy coining it as a fuzz haha. Pero fuzz din naman ang distortion and vice versa diba?
I've got gas for a B:assmaster. :) Maybe next year.

Vintage fuzz master - vintagish fuzz with also ampeg Scrambler when maxed out
BY THE WAY i clone them both! Hehe (salestalk) :)
Title: Re: Fuzz Freaks arise!
Post by: glassjaw_jc on October 26, 2013, 12:55:36 AM
Yep, checked the devi evers. The soda meiser does sounds nice.
I've tried a scrambler software emulator dati just to have an idea of how it sounds. I've seen a clone pedal eh. I just can't seem to remember what pedal it was. That sounded nice.
I'll try out your pedals. Kailangan ko lang i-balance with other pedal GAS :D

Yep, I remember it very thick sounding. Instant Cliff Burton without breaking a sweat (sorry, I'm bassist so dun ang perspective ko sa fuzz effects :) ).

There's a new derivative out, the Diabolik. Sounds interesting too. Bass demo pa nga lang nakikita ko

Napadami nga Mon, hehe.. yes yung sTonebender ko din... humuhuni sya kapag naka DC chain sa ibang pedals. Pero kapag sya lang, okay sya. Akala ko nung una, sira sya pero nung nakausap ko si pie-key (electronic guru) kelangan nga isolated ang fuzz. I don,t know kung merong mga fuzz na ang circuit ay kelangan isolated at merong fuzz na hindi kelangan. Pero the fuzz daw, ay better off with a separate power supply. OR battery powered.

@nickson, LOL@ "humuhuni". batang na batang hahaha!
regarding fuzzes, tingan nyo kung positive ground o negative ground ang kelangan nya. if it's the latter (negative ground), ok lang ang daisy chain. kung positive ground, dapat isolated dahil magsho-short ang mga supply lines pag nag-daisy chain.
yung mga silicon fuzz usually negative ground yan. yung mga germs mostly pos-ground.

@nickson - eto rin problema nung nakwento ko sa iyo dati SOUL BENDER naman gamit nung gitarist namin... ayaw naman gumana pag may kasama sa chain...
pano malalaman na fried na yun psu? fried as in fried chicken? :roll:

when you run positive gnd AND negative ground pedals daisy chained off a single PSU, you are essentially connecting the positive and negative leads of your PSU. try mo pagdikitin yung tip and sleeve ng adaptor mo just to check :lol:

Yung saken, nangyari kasi... isinama ko sa mga pedals ko, eh maingay nga.. para syang ibon hahaha.. humuhuni nga. Tas tanggal ko kaagad nakakairita eh.
Pero hanggang ngayon okay pa din naman PSU ko, hindi naman umiinit... hmmm. I therefore conclude:

hi guys,
Ive got this fuzzfactory clone..and all of a sudden the GATE knob isnt responding anymore..any experiences with this problem? faulty pot perhaps? I remember this happened once before and I just wiggled the knob a bit..maxed and rolled back..and it worked again...your thoughts?
some other things..I just added and maxed out the chain with 8 pedals..I think the same thing happened before when I played around with my board..could it be the GATE circuit is affected by power draws etc..Ill try to observe it some more and maybe try to play it with batteries as a stand alone for the meantime..opened the box and checked solders..nothing loose or broken..

Fuzz Factory tips A lot of people seem to have problems with their Fuzz Factories that are down to lack of experience more than anything.
Some useful tips if you've bought, or thinking about buying a Fuzz factory:
- The Fuzz Factory is the exact same as the Probe version, without the probe. There is no difference in quality. If you are clever, you can operate the Stab knob with your foot as the knobs are large. But make sure which version you want. The Fuzz Probe can be unstable, but you can use it as a Theremin, which is pretty cool.
- The Handpainted ones come with a lifetime(Zach's lifetime) warranty, the Vexters come with a much shorter one.
- You will probably NOT like the initial sounds that you get out of the FF. Before you turn it on, set the "Stab" up to full, gate and comp to about 1/4 way, and drive about 2/3s - 4/5s of the way up. Volume should be about 1/3 of the way up. Use the Neck pickup, preferably a single coil, for best results. If you had mid heavy pickups(like the Air Norton), roll down the tone knob as a mid scoop is what gives a Fuzz much of it's sound. That's a good starting setting. The biggest offender is the Stab knob, which creates much of the noise, and the drive knob appears to cause it to self oscillate some when turned up full.
- The Stab knob messes with the feedback pitch - this *will* sound nasty when you don't play anything. It adds interference, but you need to surpress it with a noise gate. That's where the "Gate" knob comes in. Turn it up until the noise disappears. The Comp knob works good too. The stab knob adds noisy interference which can make the Fuzz sound messier, which a lot of people prefer.
- NEVER have the volume set at more than 1/3 when you're "expierementing".
- Be persistant. The pedal is worth it. Many people have been disappointed, and later changed their mind, a very many. The controls aren't easy. Still with them.
- The Comp and Gate setting *will* remove dynamics(ie play a soft note and it comes out soft, play heavy for heavy), so you won't be able to use dynamics much if you want to mess with the Stab knob. Some people won't like the FF for this reason, though you can always find a way around the noise, or using lower gain.
- You will need to play with the volume knob of your guitar to get the full range of sounds. Rolling it down sort of puts it in an "on the fence" setting when the gate is high, which causes some strange interference sounds, especially with stab turned down. You'll get a lot of 1980s sound track noises from this. There are also Ring-Mod like settings on the FF with the volume rolled back to about 7.
- The FF should usually come first, before absolute everything, especially wireless transmitters. You can't use one with an FF, unless you have it built in by Manson like Matt Bellamy. Most Wahs appear to be fine, but some Vox Wahs have problems. Even though it doesn't always sound like it, it *is* a high gain pedal, so you'll need to roll it down a bit to hear the Wah. You may be able to get away with an OD pedal/clean boost before it to help it. For this reason the Wah Probe is the best wah to use with it, as it has a clean boost.
- Remember, most of the good settings are the "in between" settings, unlike other pedals. It's not just a case of tone up high, drive up high, volume at half, and play away. Wahs after Fuzzes destroy their character.
- You can, despite what Zach says, get some interesting sounds chaining it or using it on the dirty channel of your amp, but this will make it even more chaotic. People claim Tube Amps dound better, but remember that they "round" the sound, which is the opposite of Fuzz in some ways.
- The Fuzz Factory is something that grows on you, *not* an instant gratification pedal like a RAT.
- Make sure to put the guitar and amp cables in the right end, they're marked. I messed this one up.
- Zach is nearly always around on his board, on http://www.zvex.com the members of the board can help you find good starting settings. Go to that board for help before you even consider giving up on it.
And above all, enjoy your Fuzz Factory! Through all the other dist and fuzz boxes you will own, it will most likely remain one of your favourites for one reason or another for a long time to come.
-Use batteries or an isolated power supply if you want consistent tweaking results and improved stability. __________________

Mga pre let go of the Zvex FF. Its just too much headache, too many dials. Too much temptation to explore, too much thought on how to relate it with your set up. It's a great pedal on its own but it doesn't play nice with others.
I had my days when I thought it was Godly but that was ages ago....it's just a phase.
Move on to the next game.

Sir Gandy ad Autoplay,
Maybe i should give it a try to fix your FF... If may time ako will give it a try... eto yung una kong DIY pedal with germanium transistors. if your going to retire those pedals.. maybe i should give it a try?
Give me a month after giving me your pedal...

how does the cold affect germanium transistors like the ones in the fuzzfactory?
is it better for them or masama rin ba masyadong malamig?
I'm no fuzz expert but all I know is the ZVFF is a different circuit with a stab control. So you can still basically tame it with drastic temperature changes.
You cannot do this with a traditional fuzz face or 2 knob tonebender.

it's because it is sensitive to climate change temperature, just like the early fuzzfaces. Germanium is more sensitive than silicon IMO based in my experience

Pag mainit unstable sya, also it doesn't like drastic changes in temperature like when you have it in your air conditioned car then you take it out in the afternoon sun to play outdoors.
Good luck with that.

recommended ni Zachary Vex na to use batteries with it para lower daw ang power to the GE transistors. pag may dedicated adaptor din kasi, lalo na pag daisy chained, sabayan mo pa ng single coils, maingay talaga.

Try using a dummy plug. Just cut off the plug from a daisy chain or something. Turn on the fuzz. Insert the plug into the power input. If the pedal turns off, then the battery power supply is cut off and the battery won't be depleted even with a cable in the input of the pedal. :)

I have a Ge Fuzz Face not a mini though. From what i heard from youtube vids, wala naman halos pinagkaiba. With regards on how to set your fuzz face marami nag sasabi na i max mo parehas na vol at fuzz for the classic hendrix and control the fuzz using the volume knob on the guitar. But personally, i like to dial the fuzz a little before or after 3 oclock. It cleans up more nicely kung hindi naka max. and mas varied yung tones na magagawa. although paminsan na bibitin ako sa sustain. hehe.

Thanks for that and I agree. If the fuzz knob is in full, guitar volume should be set around 1 or 2 for that sweet sound while @ 3oclock fuzz knob, I set the guitar volume around 1 to 5 to 7. IMHO, gives me variation of that sweet fuzz sound. Have you tried hooking the fuzz with a compression sustainer? I haven't tried it cause my CS is still in the province, but hopefully this weekend I can check it out :) PS : Loving my germanium fuzz face mini. Those germanium transistors is a good "mismatch" made in guitar heaven :-D

siguro kahit nakapatay na amp mo may sustain pa yan hahaha. usually ako may od after ng fuzz pero low gain lang. it acts more as a pre amp to give my amp a crunch. mas nagiging buo yung tunog nung fuzz pag may od after. :D

hahaha. siguro kahit nakapatay na amp mo may sustain pa yan hahaha. usually ako may od after ng fuzz pero low gain lang. it acts more as a pre amp to give my amp a crunch. mas nagiging buo yung tunog nung fuzz pag may od after. :D
Yup, kahit tulog na ko, I can still hear the ducks hehe. Agreed. I have my fuzz->CS-2->TS-808... = sweet :-D

My recently purchased fuss, it is a fab fuzz, the factory failed on sticker :eek:(http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae42/jay_stratman22/IMG_2478_zps1adc75c1.jpg) (http://s956.photobucket.com/user/jay_stratman22/media/IMG_2478_zps1adc75c1.jpg.html) sometimes, it sounds like a gritty thin fuzz face, ala silicon style sound. Where can i compare the sound similarity of this cheap toy? I nailed wally gonzales' dirty blues tone ala Juan Dela Cruz tone at the percentage of 95/100. Good for dark tube amp. Tsaka na siguro ulit ako mag bobotik fuss pag nagka pera ulit, tapusin ko muna ang amp gas, o kaya pag nabenta ko na gibby ko 8-)

Sold my Boss Hyper Fuzz 2 cause I really cant get a good tone out of it. Got a new Fuzz Face Mini germanium. Any user reviews and tips on these? :) Thanks
Hi! Anong masasabi mo sa Fuzz Face mini? Tru clean amp mo ba siya ginagamit? Gusto ko kasi nung Fuzz Face na malaki. ang cute kasi parang collectibles. hehe
im planning to sell my fuzz factory para sa dunlop fuzz face dahil sa cuteness factor. :-D
*** nakakahiya kasi magtry sa JB dahil alam ko sa sarili kong hindi ako bibili dun. <_<

Hey, yup, using it in both SS and tube amps clean and seldom crunch. Feed back : very versatile, sweet and sometimes sour hehe (if nasobrahan). And oh yes, +1 sa aesthetics.(IMO) It is a classic pedal so classic tones are easy to nail. I am not sure but germanium vary from pedal to pedal and very dependent on climate??? better test the fuzz face first. I have no idea bout fuzz factory (Zvex) but looks and sounds more versitile?

thanks! never ko pa kasi na experience ung about sa climate eh. hehe.. though SI ung plan kong bilin na dunlop fuzz face para stable daw. hehe. im not sure if the fuzz factory is more versatile dahil ung pagka versatile niya ay hindi para sa lahat. mejo nagkakaron kasi siya ng TONE control dahil sa settings.
basta fuzz kasi maganda sa pandinig ko eh. hehehe. mafoforce ako netong pumasok sa JB kahit ayokong napasok dun. hehe. wew.

Sa totoo lang, 5 days before nakita ko sya sa ads, I was about to pull the trigger on a Wren & Cuff "The Caprid" muff which is supposed to be an exact clone of the Ram's Head. Sinuwerte lang, naisip ko why go clone when you have a shot at the original.

Frustrated rock and roll guitarist lang ako bro :P kung ano lang flavor of the month pero mostly sumusundot lng ng zeppelin songs.
Lately into stoner metal, so i gotta have some muff for that thick sound.
Yung ram's head, kinuha ko sayo for my Gilmour fanaticism lol. Pero looking forward to getting much use of ir when I come back and hopefully make some new music.

Boss BCB6 ba kamo?
(http://www.chookfest.net/emil/gear/img/fz3.jpg)
Well, what else but a BOSS Fuzz is a perfect fit for your BCB6. :)
Other than a BOSS and if you're really into classic rock, you might wanna try out some tonebender clones.. Or some fuzz face/fuzzrite clones. I recommend a Throbak Stonebender for that. IMHO it is the most versatile tonebender I've owned.
I also hear good things about the Blackout Effects Musket Fuzz. They say it is a very versatile muff fuzz. That may suit your taste if you wanted a variety of fuzz sounds. There is one for sale in the classifieds now for P6k. Steal na yun!
If you like fun and weird, check out the ZVEX Fuzz Factory. I have one but I can't find a use for it. :-P
Lots more to choose from bro. Meron din tayong mga local fuzz makers. Get in touch with either ZabFX (Musikerochan) or rubis915 here in philmusic. I got both of their fuzzies and they do not disappoint.

Can any of the DIY-ers in this thread build this: http://www.runoffgroove.com/supreaux.html
I mean, is it relatively easy to build? Find parts for?
This is the pedal JHS ripped off for the superbolt.
Was always curious about that pedal but found it over priced.

what led zep tones? ... i owned the fuzzgod II and it leaned toward the tone bender side of things. its not very versatile, but i guess thats the beauty of non-muff fuzz pedals...

i need suggestions guys ... i really love the zvex fuzz factory cause of the tone bender and fuzz face sound i get off it ... yet, its biggest weakness for me is that it needs to be the first pedal to see the guitar signal. very hard for a guy who uses a Boss Ls2 buffer like me.
can you suggest other tone bender type fuzz pedals that are friendly with pedal buffers?

Close..., ke Dan. Naka Big Muff pi naman sya eh, kaso vintage green russian hehe.
Pero ke Jack, alam ko medyo sa silicon based fuzz or sa fuzzrite sya eh.
actually big muff ang gamit ni Jack white. nilalagyan lang niya ng mxr micro amp na laging bukas sa harap. kaya sobrang crunchy. i know kasi i copied his white stripes pedal board at some point. hahaha

parehong hindi versatile! lol ... peor big muff is a lot friendlier with most songs, especially kung stoner-type. yung fuzz face, ok din sana, pero sobrang arte sa buffer. it needs to be the first in the chain.

mali yata yung tanong ko, ganito nalang sir ano pagkakaiba ng tunog ng dalawa :?
Muff - strong bass, huge sound, great sustain. - usually used with a clean amp. - does not clean up well when rolling down your guitar's volume.
Fuzz face - cutting, midrange and treble focused sound. - usually used in front of an amp that is already breaking up (this smoothes-out the overall sound). - cleans up very well when rolling down your guitar's volume.
so it depends on you.
if what you have is a clean amp, and rely on stepping on pedals for dirt, and you always keep your guitar volume on max, then go with the muff.
if you like to have a slightly dirty amp as a "base", and you like to cleanup your dirt by rolling down your guitar volume knob, then get the fuzzface.
of course, these are just generalizations. please do further reading on the variants of each pedal... especially on the tradeoffs of the fuzzface variants (germanium and silicone).

mali yata yung tanong ko, ganito nalang sir ano pagkakaiba ng tunog ng dalawa :?
big muff seems to have a tone knob to adjust frequency. The big muff has a dry sustain and gainier than fuzzface. The big muff tend to have scooped mids, and the fuzzface has alot of mids IMO, imagine a ts9 distortion, and not an overdrive. Better try or test em both, and let your ears and heart be the judge.

Tried the Mooer Blade? I got a pretty decent fuzz with it when I turned the boost off, and put the gain to low level, like 8 o'clock, and the tone down 10 o'clock para hindi masyado trebly yung output.
Mooer blade is meant to be a dist pedal but with the right tweaks, you get just the right fuzz without getting a dist sound.

Just got a very unique dual fuzz-treble booster recently.
Its a basic audio halo-ranger. Its unique because of the tone and the casing. Its made of wood.
The fuzz side is a clone of an earth sound research fuzz, while the treble booster is a rangemaster clone.
Fuzz tone is strange, and ugly but in a good way. Its sputtery and muffy. With the both sides engaged, it sounds smooth and creamy.

Try looking for a ram's head variant for the dino sound you can go big and vintage correct check out clips of wren n cuff's caprid or any other rams head from SUf or vicks yung eqd kasi based on the russian but i bet it can also get close to any muff tones.

Uwi kami sa Laoag pre...nandoon yung tiny terror na combo ko. Bubulabugin ko yung probinsya....fuzz mayhem!! may bulutong si junior but lil JDs pretty brave fighting the itch.
Okay Mayonnaise MK III. Digging the looks, cool marshall knobs and that big box is something ive dreamed about since i saw the original. I can only compare this with the Zero and all i can say is this Mayonnaise sounds vintage to my ears. This one is more versatile though for when you want mids turn up the gain. it sure is one cool fuzz BUT there are a lot fuzzes out there now that commands half the price and just as cool.

Uwi kami sa Laoag pre...nandoon yung tiny terror na combo ko. Bubulabugin ko yung probinsya....fuzz mayhem!! may bulutong si junior but lil JDs pretty brave fighting the itch.
Okay Mayonnaise MK III. Digging the looks, cool marshall knobs and that big box is something ive dreamed about since i saw the original. I can only compare this with the Zero and all i can say is this Mayonnaise sounds vintage to my ears. This one is more versatile though for when you want mids turn up the gain. it sure is one cool fuzz BUT there are a lot fuzzes out there now that commands half the price and just as cool.
Save your pennies this ones for the collectors (https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3862/14568598732_379289b7f0.jpg) (https://www.flickr.com/photos/54980635@N02/14568598732/)
Ganda! Dream ko pa din yun Zero!
Congrats!

had an old 90s something fuzzface - found it lacking in hair sold it had a custom made ge fuzz - not much cream sold it was interested on a keeley fuzz head and a musket fuzz, i couldn't decide then a mooer triangle buff came along at a price that is very appealing.
I'd probably still get the fuzz head or musket fuzz, but for now the Triangle Buff will do.

Hi everyone, I am looking for a cheap fuzz and I know Lyric is selling Danelectro pedals for half price.
Just would like to know if anyone of you tried the following: -Fab Fuzz (cheapest of them all) -Cool Cat Fuzz V2 -French Toast (their take on Octave fuzz)
I would like to know especially the cool cat fuzz v2 (with DIP switches).
Thanks in advance!

The Cool Cat is very nice, although as with most fuzzes, you'll probably need to dime the mids on your amp for you to be heard in a band mix.

Hi guys! Thanks for your inputs! Actually, I got the Cool Cat Fuzz CF-1 (first version) which I read a lot of good reviews in the net... I got to try the Fab Fuzz, French Toast, CC Fuzz CF-2 and the last stock of the CC Fuzz CF-1 in Lyric Alabang...
The Fab Fuzz is like an overdrive pedal, which I did not like.
I really love the French Toast! But it's a bit "farty" for the music we play. It gets a bit noisy when you increase the dist. level but I really didn't mind. Maybe if you're into the guitar sounds of Jack Black, you can experiment on this one.
I was not able to test the CF-2 thoroughly. I never had the chance to change the settings on the DIP switches inside (Nakakahiya na kasi mag-ingay haha). It actually sounded like a stock DS-1 to my ears on its current setting at that time...
The Cool Cat CF-1, which they say is the clone of the Peach Fuzz (haven't tried one), for me sounds like a distortion pedal as well. I tried lowering the tone knob to get that scooped sound. It's smooth, not that gnarly or "Hairy" as they describe other fuzz pedals. But I love how the gain cleans when you roll the guitar volume a bit. So I bought the pedal :wave:
I am also going to try the Joyo Voodoo Octave Fuzz, and some Mooer fuzz clones, maybe after christmas... Maybe you can also recommend me some other cheap fuzz pedals to try. Thanks!

Post by: Musikerochan on January 04, 2016, 03:37:11 PM
^mapili sa amps ang fuzz. kung ganyan, mas babagay sya sa mga amps na may naturally strong mids. lulubog ka lang kung pipilitin mo sa scooped cleans. unless may dedicated tone control to somehow shape the EQ.

^matalas ang tunog hehehe. ewan ko lang sa ibang fuzz. tonebenders i think work great.
which reminds me, i usually use a dirt pedal - fuzzes, usually - to tune the cleans of an amp. i'd adjust the amp's eq until hindi na trebly harsh yung output with a fuzz on.

Alot of fuzzman says, this fuzz is hard to use and tame, also lame. They say that it is stupid to use this onstage because of it's noisy behavior. Well I can say that this thing is useful in every music purpose. The technique is, before going onstage, make sure to bring your own desired presets that you know you need, and never ever tweak it onstage with the volume knob is on past 0. Sino ba namang [chewbacca] ang mag tutweak sa stage na naka on ang volume? Malamang maingay yan, and tip ko lang is magbaon kayo ng presets nyo na alam nyong tahimik, or vice versa. Naiinis lang ako sa mga hater nito, dahil lang sa maingay daw lol, kaya nga may noise gate eh.

Sharing a fuzz I recently acquired. Being a Joe Bonamassa fan, this was pretty much a no brainer. I would have wanted the "bigger" version which can only be powered by a battery, but it's size and power limitations made it less versatile for me to be mounted on a pedalboard.
So I opted for the mini version which was more space friendly and can be powered by a 9Vdc PSU. Having played with the fuzz for some time, I found input and output jacks a bit awkwardly placed for my big patch cables. Haha. So I had the pedal recased by PIE Custom Electronics (https://www.facebook.com/PIECustomElectronics) in a rectangular enclosure where the round PCB would fit just right. Input and out jacks were still top mounted as per the original, but they're not angled and now more pedalboard friendly. The black hammertone finish looks crazy awesome! PIE badge at the corner is a plus. No labels and decals for simplicity is great.
I've only tried a handful of fuzz pedals and most of them, I did not like.. except for a Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver which was super nice. I'm not a big fuzz fan but this germanium fuzz works for my HB-equipped guitars. Fat sounding fuzz.

It's interesting to have to listen to fuzz boxes and match them with the right amps too.
It appears my Audio Walrus Contraband only plays well with my Vox AC10 and the EHX Soul Food stacked as a boost, while the EHX Little Big Muff stacked with a TS9 for boost responds well with the Friedman Runt 20.
Never thought I'd have to use the Little Big Muff or the TS9 that was gathering dust in the closet for a few years now.

Fuzzes are definitely finicky pedals. In my case, I could never get my Sunface to play consistently everywhere but when it does match up, it's awesome.

Stacking it with an od is the most common way of bumping up the mids to cut, having an amp with pronounced mids like Marhall and Orange is another way, Eq as well. Ano ba ang tugtugan?

but for oozing solos or licks, you need to rearrange the pedals. it maybe like this:
guitar>fuzz>od>eq>preamp(if applicable) guitar>od>fuzz>eq(if you still prefer the fuzziness of the fuzz you have but cutting through the mix) guitar>od>fuzz (if adding gain for a rhythm section)
P.S: try listening Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) guitar riffs or whatever he have on youtube. the guy is a master of fuzz IMO.
