Guest Anonymous Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 For one of my two effects, I'm using a 1986 Roger Mayer Fuzz Face Classic. It gets me by the door and into the psychedelic music room nicely. Regards....Goofyfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members monkeyboy23 Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have a Voodoo-Axe . Great sounding fuzz...from a light boost all the way to spitting fuzz. Mayer makes awesome sounding pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRINGO_LOCO Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 I've played a few different ones. I liked the Mongoose and Axis fuzzes, but HATED the Page-1. GRINGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzface71 Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have tried the Axis and Classic. They are basically Fuzz Face clones. Though, I like the Axis better. They are ok, but for the price. You can get better FF clones. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theweight Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Aren't the Mayer fuzzes the ones that are generally considered to be good but not worth the money? Err, wait that's a Klon. There are so many pedals that I would spend the money and try them out if they were $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warioblast Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Originally posted by StevieRaveOn68 i have a Axis Fuzz on the way. Axis = BBC sessions tone I have the RM octavia. I love it but the rocket shape takes a lot of space and the controls on top of the pedal are not very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Morning Glory Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I bought a Classic Fuzz yesterday, amazing pedal. I compared it head to head with the Axis, the Classic is beefier and generally better sounding to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members barbum Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I got ALL the RM spaceships, the Voodoo-1 and the Voodoo Vibe. The guy calling RM's fuzzes "clones"...LOL are you for real? The BBC Jimi's worst tone? I guess thats why so many guys are gunning for it.You'd do well to shut your piehole, you misguided uninformed braying ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spaceshot Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 i got the axis a long time ago and I love it- i know a few years ago there was some discussion about the schematic that was going around was wrong- but I never even bothered to open the axis up and check the layout- I have built better sounding fuzzface clones. Its mostly in the transistors and the biasing. Also the fuzz pot is even worse than any fuzzface I have ever tried, goes from no gain to saturation in the smallest increment-and that is where the sweet spot is- right as the background hiss appears but not past that point. That is where the notes will bloom. Steve Daniels at Small Bear sells a special taper pot now that I use in all my fuzzface and tonebender clones. Its the best thing to happen to my pedals since I trialed and errored almost every transistor to find the ones I like- and other than the germaniums none of them are NOS.

Members kittycaster Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hey I have a 1986 Classic as well. Is yours blue and does it have a sticker on the bottom that says "Guitar Galaxy"? Hang on to that pedal cause I also have a later Classic from the late nineties and it is rather stiff and sterile compared to the 1986; they sound completely different. My 1986 has some sort of spooky mojo. It just sounds amazing. The transistors are different in the later model and I'm thinking that whatever transistors Roger used in the 1986 version aren't to be found anymore. I have quite a few fuzz pedals but none have the mojo of the 1986 Classic. Funny, I just posted about this at the "other forum". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LoneStarGuitar Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 wow. so much hate in your replies so far. I own a Voodoo Vibe and had a Vision series octavia. I think the octavia was cursed with the friggin plague. Nobody wanted it, took almost two years to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jorlitta Posted September 24, 2010 Members Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have a Roger Mayer Fuzz Face that I ordered through Guitar Galaxy magazine in the mid 80's, and out of all my other boosters or distortions it's got the meanest tone I ever heard. It is wine red in color, with two black and yellow knobs for volume and sustain. The volume control cuts out if you mess with it, so I just leave it turned all the way up and leave it at that. I have to keep it after my wah in my effects chain, if I run it the other way around all I get is a really loud squeal. I had to wait a long time to recieve it, but it was worth the wait.
