this is really important for the times when we are too lazy to use our pedalboards during 3-song gigs. hahaha

Very very true!  :lol:

1. Sadly, someone taught me the swells while picking 10 years ago but I didn't use it since hindi abot yung pinky ko sa knob while picking... so nalimutan ko na pwede nga pala
2. Important to control drive, feedback and para di magising ang kapitbahay :P
3. The Zvex Fuzz Factory has several nice settings na bright and clean siya when halfway yung knob and habang tinotodo mo nag-fufuzz strongly

ZVFF nice peds. Usually sa akin clean sya around 8-7ish. Karamihan rin too bright pag clean-up so adjust rin pati tone knob.

I love using it with my SSH pickups set-up. Yup, busy ka sa kabusisi sa knobs pag gamit mo FF as your standalone od/fuzz.

one word "dynamics"

all my guitars have to be loaded wt .001uf caps and 150kohm resistor, it works great on any medium power drive pedals and amp distortion.

really good on tubescreamers, blues driver, and SD-1, SD2's.

oh yeah and they work best with low output pick-ups, and for this reason that i'm not too excited wt high powered pick-ups

I use ceramic disc capacitors. Piso lang isa   :-D

ako din, pero i've tried different types with little or no difference, ceramics and mylars are cheap ..... i have a stash of them kahit available naman siya kahit saan electronic shop.  

to me its not a "mod" na nga eh, its like a pre-requisite on all my guitars, i had them on for like 16 years or so

Hassle. I'd like to change my caps, but I've swapped them twice na. It might get messy. Anyone care to do it for me properly? hehe  :-D

Napaka importante saken ang volume knob! Lalo na't ang main axe ko ay semi hollow na minsan ay nagiisqueal pag tinodo ko yung gain ng distortion. :wink:
