Members daniel2001 Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Goddam these things sound awesome, top notch work from Skreddy as always. I'm gonna go try out a Mayo on Saturday, and may order one of those as well, heck, might order one even if I don't get to try one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daniel2001 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Heck, just one of these can do anything I want. Iommi, Page, Gilmour, Carlton, Santana, Lifeson.................. These pedals freaking rock. Thanks Skreddy. Screwdriver into Top Fuel sounds awesome as well.

Members daniel2001 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 One is a present for my cousin, he saw Fatback's video of the Top Fuel and immeadiatly wanted one, but can't afford one, so its a belated Christmas present from me.

The Screwdriver into Top Fuel is a killer combo. When I go to the guitar shops in London on Saturday, I'm going to take my Frantone Peachfuzz along, and if there are any Mayo's in, I might trade the Frantone in.

Members joncyberboy Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 The Skreddy clips i heard did nothing for me. Maybe they are just not my bag. Too smooth for me. I like a bit more grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mayo is yes very smooth, compressed.. but the lady has a little more grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daniel2001 Posted February 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 The mayo is yes very smooth, compressed.. but the lady has a little more grit. Hows the Mayo compared to a Big Muff? I barely use my Frantone Peachfuzz any more, and am thinking of trading it for a Z Vex Box of Rock, a E13 pedal of some sort or a Mayo.

Members agentcooper2001 Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 marc makes great pedals! i posted a bulletin for skreddy pedals on our myspace page and had quite a few bands and guitarists e-mail me for more info on them. I've had the zero, mayo, mayonaise & top fuel. The top fuel is my favorite. I'm going to have a new TF soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ben Co. Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 How are the mids in the Top Fuel?I'm a little concerned that they may be a bit too prominent, or is it just a more open sound? -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skr3ddy Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 How are the mids in the Top Fuel?I'm a little concerned that they may be a bit too prominent, or is it just a more open sound?-Ben The mids are very prominent, but not boxy. I could always build you one with flat mids instead of the hump. I like the hump on this pedal, though. It's somehow appropriate; plus it makes the pedal interact very well with Fender amps and low-Wattage and other vintage type amps. Sounds great through a powerful clean amp, too; just not that wall-of-fuzz thing you'd get from a Muff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Co. Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks Marc! Appreciate the reply... will definitely have to check one out soon. Would it be possible to build one with a mids toggle like the Mayo? -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chump5150 Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Skreddy, is it a fairly simple thing to make one with a mid-hump that is less pronounced than the standard mid-hump? edit: to clarify, I'm sure you can do it, I'm just curious about how much of an upcharge there would be...

No upcharge. The thing about the Top Fuel's tone stack is this... It's the result of a lot of tweeking. I've reduced the high-end filtering a lot, to allow maximum articulation. It doesn't get too dark in the far CC position, just fat and juicy. And I've reduced the low-cut on the other side of the filter, so when you turn the knob to the treble side, it still sounds full and not ice-picky. So put those two halves together, and you've got a tone stack where the mids are left intact throughout the range of the tone knob. This is a good thing. I've tweeked the resistor values in the tone stack to give it a more open sound, so it's not boxy in the middle position. You should try it stock, and I doubt you'll ask for a mod.

Members fatbackribs Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 You still enjoying yours? Does it fulfill all your fuzz desires? Actually, I just recently got a Pinkmour/Top Fuel of my own, (thanks Donner!) It's the same one that was loaned to me for the vids. I'm loving it. It is a tighter fuzz than most muffs, but still brings plenty of girth. I still can't get over the high swirling harmonics that seem to hover over the notes. Freakin' awesome! As for my fuzz desires... well there's always room for another fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daniel2001 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm currently in London, my train back to Plymouth leaves in about 11 hours and 30 minutes or so. The Top Fuels are back there. I traded my Frantone Peachfuzz for a Voodoo Lab's Analog Chorus, straight trade, and got a Pedaltrain 2 (gig bag) for the birthday. Also got some more George L's cables so I can wire the board up really nicely. Been sitting outside with a good mate, drinking fine whisky and smoking fine cigars (started yesterday).
