We have some trans at work that "look" similar to these. Can you get any Part#s or specs for these?

[Hiwatt Bob]

as you can kind of see from the pic--the markings are scratched/worn off. maybe Vex knows?

I think the spam can FF compares nicely to old tone benders, fuzz faces, and big muffs. It can do it all.

It was ridiculous how close the spam can FF got to my Fuzzfaceless Mk.1 - that pedal just morphs seamlessly from one spec to the next, and then the shit hits the fan in the most gloriously horrible way and nothing comes close to it.

i mean i don't want to blow it totally out of proportion--it's not like the difference should be considered earth shattering. it's just i've always been frusterated by my newer FF because it was so trebly. i love all the crazy stuff it does, but i was never really satisfied with the more conventional settings and it's tendency to be harsh sounding. the spam can one just seems to sound much more natural, softer around the edges. there are some differences too in how it reacts at similar settings, which is dohp too. basically, i'm happy because i found a FF that actually sounds the way i always wanted it to sound.

all in all--i think it's probably something where most people would definitely be able to hear the difference but not be able to justify the price difference. it's the same thing with my DAM fleshhead, everyone who's heard it or tried it has loved it--but roll their eyes when i tell them how much it was.

it's ridiculous that a 2010 300$ FF has to cut corners and doesn't even bother putting in the same original components that people seek. fucking embarrassment of a pedal company imho.

sounds like i need to try a fuzzfaceless mk.1.

indeed - for me the FF is more a "nice to have" pedal and i am ok with the stock one in that case... a FF is not a all day pedal for me. Sure, i am not in the financial position the last time and i just try to dont think about this differences. But i guess i can hear it and if cash was not the point i would buy it - to be honest...

even though it might hurt the future resale value of my spam-can :facepalm:, i do think Vex should spend a little time with the FF circuit and find a way to make it sound closer to the spam-can version. for as many people that love the FF, there's a lot who don't like it particularily because it's too bright, harsh, etc. i know there are DIY mods (cap value mods i think) to improve the tone, but i've heard that you sacrifice some of the other cool attributes of the pedal. also--you shouldn't have to buy an inventobox and figure the stuff out for yourself--it should be something Vex himself figures out and incorporates into new versions.

nice NPD. I really want to try one of these... i used to have a early 2000's FF that i miss dearly.
