Members pbone Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm looking for a silicon fuzz. Should be a good rhythm fuzz, not an assload of gain, should work well with rhythm chords but enough fuzz to actually sound like a fuzz. I'm looking at the Lovepedal 200lbs of tone and the Sweet Sound Fillmore West Fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jakkeh Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've got a 200lbs. Gimme some settings and I'll demo them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted May 18, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I don't know any settings, but I'd like to see it's functionality on chords more than lead lines or anything. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jakkeh Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 I don't know any settings, but I'd like to see it's functionality on chords more than lead lines or anything. Thanks! Sure. It sounds loads like an overdrive with the fat control in the middle. I'll do it tomorrow for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Teahead Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 Consider the Analog Man BC108 Sun Face, definitely does some great rhythm fuzz tones. Of the two I had one was much lower in gain than the other, so Mike could likely pick some lower gain transistors purposely for you. I found it a very raw sounding fuzz compared to the Foxrox Hot Silicon, less compressed and less low end, the ideal recipe for chord and rhythm sounds in my book. Between the Sun Face and the guitar's volume and tone you'll find a heap of suitable stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jarrizle Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 If you go to proguitarshop.com they have a video demo of the 200lbs of tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jakkeh Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 If you go to proguitarshop.com they have a video demo of the 200lbs of tone. Ah! Correct sir. Sounds tons different for me though. Then again I think he's going; Les Paul - 65 Amps Soho Whereas I'm going Telecaster -> Dr Z Maz 38. I don't know though, he may be using the G&L.

Members Loobster Posted May 18, 2008 Members Share Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah, I second both the Lovepedal 200lbs and the GI. The GI is very versatile. It's not on my board because I love my Subdecay Flying Tomato too much to remove it but it's a great sounding fuzz which can do a variety of great sounds.

Members pbone Posted May 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm checking out some videos for the hot silicon, sounds pretty good! Might be a little too big for my board though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 if you are looking for rhythm, stay away from any octave fuzzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike.sartori Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 Some suggestions that come to my mind, the runoffgroove sili-face - it's a re-tooled silicon fuzz face using common npn transistors, it's very dry sounding and works like a fuzzy overdrive. Another great one for rythm sounds is a Red Llama. Obviously a Way Huge is probably too expensive, but I believe the tonefactor mule is the same thing. It's like an OD with fuzz elements, when you crank the gain it sounds like a weak fuzz, not saturated like a big muff, it's kinda like the sound of a small-speaker amp cranked all the way.

Members Hiwatt Bob Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 the MJM London fuzz II is basically the same as the analogman bc108--but cheaper. and you can have him put it in a smaller mxr-sized enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted May 19, 2008 Members Share Posted May 19, 2008 I did a huge write up on the 200 lbs of tone on the gear page starting halfway down this page:http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=338736&highlight=200lbs&page=29 I made a bunch of clips into a Kendrick '59 Champ clone: Strat:http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=6442631&q=hi Les Paul:http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=6443141&q=hi Strat in drop D:http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=6446467&q=hi If you want a more traditional fuzz face sound though, go with the Hot Silicon. Its about as good as it gets IMO. All of the fuzz sounds you hear on the Black Toe Down myspace (link in sig) is that pedal into a '72 Superlead.
