Members travisbrowning Posted March 9, 2018 Members Share Posted March 9, 2018 Haven't had time to crank it yet but it sounds really good, much better than I anticipated. The Fuzz Face and Maestro modes are killer, and I will most likely have it parked in the Fuzz Face mode, the Ocatavia is very cool but I probably won't be using it much.

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Very cool. HNPD! Believe it or not, I've never tried one. How many modes does it have Travis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members travisbrowning Posted March 10, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2018 Very cool. HNPD! Believe it or not, I've never tried one. How many modes does it have Travis? I hadn't heard it either until just a few days ago. I've honestly always heard bad things about it but I think it sounds killer! Its got 3 modes, Fuzz Face, Maestro and Octavia. I want to do a demo of it here soon but work has been really busy lately. Maybe Sunday I can get some clips up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which Maestro it's modeling? Is it the FZ-1 or FZ-1A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but it sounds a hell of a lot like Satisfaction so I'm thinking whatever that one was. Been playing with this thing as often as I can get just haven't had much time lately. Tomorrow I will get to use it at band practice and really open it up, I'll try to get a quick recording of it then and Thursday I have the day off so I'll sit down and do an actual demo.

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not sure, but it sounds a hell of a lot like Satisfaction so I'm thinking whatever that one was. Keith Richards used an original Maestro FZ-1 on Satisfaction. Of the two, it's the more desirable / valuable version on the vintage market.

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Sounds pretty good in this demo. [video=youtube;fMfXyPEx0Rc] The first and last settings sounded pretty good to me, but I wasn't knocked out by the middle one. YMMV. I really wish GIbson would re-issue the Maestro FZ-1 again. I should have bought one the last time the did. I've been kind of kicking myself for not doing so... I used to have a Tycobrahe Octavia, but I didn't really like it and gave it away. That was before the prices skyrocketed on them. There's a couple on Reverb right now for $3,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
