Members ispunk Posted September 20, 2012 Members Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've been looking at the Fulltone 69mkII but I have been checking out the GE Fuzz too. Would it be possible to make one with a toggle to switch between germanium and silicon trannies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LSDis4me Posted September 26, 2012 Members Share Posted September 26, 2012 Is there a Monsterpiece pedal that is based on the Sola Sound MKIII? It seems that both Richard's MKII and MKIII are based upon the Sola Sound MKII (from YouTube descriptions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The MkII is excellent! It's based on the Mk 1.5 IIRC. I'm not sure if Richard has one based on the Mk III or not. Have you asked him? He's a great guy, and he'd be happy to fill you in on the details about what he does and doesn't build... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members duderanimous Posted October 12, 2012 Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 Monsterpiece NPN FuzzDescription:The Monsterpiece NPN Fuzz is the Monsterpiece that started it all. It has undergone several transformations over the years, and I think that the current version is the definitive version. This is a 2 transistor silicon fuzz utilizing either BC108 or BC109 transistors. The circuit is based on the classic fuzz face circuit, but is by no means a straight up clone. This is by far one of the most musical, dynamic, and responsive silicon fuzzes you will ever hear. A world of fuzz tones lurk within. Controls (all external) - Volume, Fuzz, Input Bias, Transistor Bias. There is also a mini-toggle "Voice" control that switches between a fuzz tone that has more or less bottom end. The controls are all very interactive - so experimentation is key. The Monsterpiece NPN can be powered by 9 volt battery, or by 9 to 9.6 volt dc adapter that has a center negative barrel plug. There is also a battery on/off mini-toggle switch standard. Monsterpiece PNP FuzzDescription:The Monsterpiece PNP Fuzz was the Monsterpiece to come along. It has undergone several transformations over the years, and I believe that the current version is the definitive version. This is a 2 transistor hybrid fuzz utilizing mixed silicon/Germanium transistor set. The circuit is based on the classic fuzz face circuit, but is by no means a straight up clone. Like the Monsterpiece NPN, the PNP is an extremely musical, dynamic, and responsive fuzz. A world of fuzz tones lurk within. Controls (all external) - Volume, Fuzz, Input Bias, Transistor Bias. There is also a mini-toggle "Voice" control that switches between a fuzz tone that has more or less bottom end. The controls are all very interactive - so experimentation is key. The Monsterpiece PNP can be powered by 9 volt battery, or by 9 to 9.6 volt dc adapter that has a center negative barrel plug. There is also a battery on/off mini-toggle switch standard. Because the circuit is positive ground, you cannot daisy chain power with an adapter. Monsterpiece Ge FuzzDescription:The Monsterpiece Ge Fuzz is the pinnacle as far as Germanium fuzz face based pedals go. This is a 2 transistor Germanium fuzz in which I use various new old stock Germanium transistors such as GT308, AC125, and SFT352 that are hand selected for proper gain & leakage for best sound in each pedal. The circuit is based on the classic fuzz face circuit, but is by no means a straight up clone. Germanium fuzzes based on the fuzz face circuit are known for their exceptional dynamic response to both your picking & guitar volume knob. The Monsterpiece Ge is no exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LSDis4me Posted October 12, 2012 Members Share Posted October 12, 2012 Richard, I'm still confused. Above your wrote "The Monsterpiece MKIII Fuzz is my take on the classic 3 knob sola/colorsound tonebender MKIII circuit."But in your YouTube video you say and wrote, "Monsterpiece MKIII Fuzz based on a 3 Germanium transistor Tone Bender MKII Pro circuit with some added twists."I would think that your MKIII would be like the Sola Sound MKIII, but was confused by your previous description.

Members LSDis4me Posted October 13, 2012 Members Share Posted October 13, 2012 So were the descriptions in your two YouTube vids on the MKIII wrong in stating that its based on a Tone Bender MKII? Or did you change something since June in your MKIII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members duderanimous Posted October 24, 2012 Members Share Posted October 24, 2012 That is an old youtube vid of a pre-June 2012 Monsterpiece MKIII. For any Monsterpiece MK whatever, it all changed as of June 2012 to be damn good sounding clones of the original vintage pedals. I just got an Olympus LS-20M HD Linear PCM video/audio recorder, and as soon as I have time I will be putting out a whole new batch of youtube demos that will hopefully be much better quality than that old crap I made with a cheap-o digital camera Originally Posted by LSDis4me Richard, I'm still confused.
