Members Crxsh Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 The Fuzz Factory is interesting. I'll have to spend some more time with it before I decide whether or not I want to keep it ... but I've managed to find some pretty sweet tones so far. It's only the 2nd fuzz pedal I've owned .... so I'm not exactly sure what to look for. It's kinda like my Mayo, but has a different flavor (and a ton of weird {censored} to boot). It's very unique. The Behringer Octave I'm VERY impressed with so far. It doesn't track all that well, but for what I want out of it ... it's perfect. I just use it to loop simple basslines for practice/solo jams ... and it's flawless there. I'm VERY pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted May 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 FF kinda like Mayo? Not remotely. I mean .... it is and it isn't. Fuzz sounds like fuzz to me still. I can tell the difference between the two, but it's still fuzz. Like I said, when it comes to fuzz I've owned a Mayo ........ and now I have a Fuzz Factory. I'm a fuzz n00b.

Members Loobster Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah. I still think they sound utterly different...yeah they're both fuzzes but they're about as different as could be. I think the FF is fun for about 20 minutes, then it's like...great... I don't miss mine. It totally doesn't work in a band situation, unless you're playing industrial maybe.

Members Crxsh Posted May 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 So I just spent about a half hour with the Fuzz Factory ... and now that I've got it figured out a bit ... I'm really diggin' it. At first, all I was getting was squealing, but after taming the 'Stab' control, I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never desired a FF for that exact reason. Seems like a cool noise effect but it doesn't sound very musical or pleasant to my ears, strickly judging from clips I've heard, mind you. I've never actually tried one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh.... after watching the Vex demo and the PGS demo ... I was pretty sure it was a musical device and not a toy. I mean, NOTHING I play needs a noisemaker, and so far, in the hour or so I've played it, I've found it to be pretty musical. Now, keep in mind that this is on entirely solo usage. I haven't yet used it in a band scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't yet used it in a band scenario. As with any effect, I'm sure it depends more on how it's setup and how its actually used than the effect itself. Any effect can be setup crappy so it sounds terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most vids I've watched seemed to concentrate on the more extreme, wacky settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems more gimmicky and I sit there thinking, "When am I ever going to use that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
