Members Free the Guilty Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 The video sounds awesome. Quite versatile. I think Used666 had one for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zhivago Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I had one and I found it really bassy with my setup...had to use a Treble Booster with it to make it work for me, so I eventually sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Got one in the mail. I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mindglow Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I had one 4 years ago or something like that. And I also found it to be way to bassy/muddy.Sold it pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cow4prez Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 yes, the peachfuzz sounds like a muff, a lot of sustain and edge with a lot of gain on tap (unity gain is 9 o'clock), but also has a lot of bass to it as well. The bass is almost too much and you have to compensate by turning the tone control down. It does clean up with the volume turned down, but not too well. It is a high gain fuzz but will get into distortion territory. No od here. The fuzz control affects the gain of this pedal a lot, but you are going to play with it a lot with the volume control. The circuit is based on the LM386 op-amp. It is true bypass, but uses a relay instead of a 3pdt. I would say it is a good pedal, but nothing magical or special, at least on my rig (tele --> fender amp style). Your mileage will vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goldie-gold Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have both a Cream Puff and a Peach Fuzz. The Peach Fuzz is great. It is kind of like a muff. I think it is based on one but it doesn't feel quite so high gain to me. It is very bassy BUT has quite a bit of mid range to. It seems best for lead tones to me rather than chord work. The Cream Puff is cool too. Very wooly and big sounding - quite scooped. More suited to rhythem work. Not too good at cutting once you are playing with a bass player. Especially not one who is playing with distortion himself. Edit: Forgot to mention I think they are both best with single coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tubezipper Posted July 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 How would a Peachfuzz react with a muff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cow4prez Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 How would a Peachfuzz react with a muff? didn't try it, but i can't imagine that combo sounding any good -- probably fizzy, clipped and compressed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aberrant Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I love Frantone's stuff...I just really wish that the PeachFuzz's design was for the Creme Puff....for some reason I have a problem buying a pedal that's that pink....don't really know why....I think that THE SWEET germanium is better than the PF though...I really wish that PGS would have done a vid with a booster before TS germ. though.

Members Cow4prez Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 from the pgs clip, you can hear that bassy, wooley low end. That is exactly what it sounds like in real life. PGS did a nice job with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleStrat Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 the peachfuzz circuit is not muff based at all. Care to say what it is based on? I just got mine I would say that sayings it's close to an IC Muff would be right on. So my review. I love it! I played it next to the only other IC Fuzz I have the new Dano Cool Cat and it blows the Dano away!! It sould for the price. I have to disagree with aberrant about the Sweet sounding better. I like the Sweet but the PF just sounds like a bettter version of it IMHO. The one thing I don't like it the huge box and the small board inside. Personal thing I guess. I may rehouse it.

Hi Robert,I along with Bajaman reversed the schematic for the peach fuzz. You can download the schematic i drew from the forbidden forum for your use. Topologically, the only similarity between the ICBM and the PF is 8 pin IC's....4558 in the ICBM and LM386 in the PF.... and the ICBM has 6 diode clipping series while the PF doesn't. Controls are also different. Correct me if wrong, I heard Howard Davis designed the ICBM, so maybe he can answer your question better. --Binh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supprising how they got IC's to sound so creamy! If I did not have them both and just heard clips I would guess the Sweet to be the IC fuzz. BTW I'll go check that out.
