Members Ray20 Posted December 11, 2006 Members Share Posted December 11, 2006 I gave it away but I miss it now I remember it had two transistors and three knobs volume fuzz and "static" was this a fuzzface with a bias knob on it (whatever it is that gives you that gating sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted December 11, 2006 Members Share Posted December 11, 2006 Originally posted by Ray20 the insulating board (between board and chassis) was cardboard My Static Egg was built the same way. The only major issue I had with my Holowon experience was their random decision to not paint my pedal during production. Though I can understand their need to cut costs here and there, the pedal that I recieved did not even vaguely resemble the picture on the Holowon website at the time. I kind of miss my Static Egg, too. It was definitely a unique-sounding fuzz ... though you can achieve similar sounds with a DOD FX76 Punkifier.

Members Roy Brooks Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 I have a Holowon Static Egg and have a Holowon Static Egg+Short Fuse coming in the mail soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Originally posted by Roy Brooks I have a Holowon Static Egg and have a Holowon Static Egg+Short Fuse coming in the mail soon. Did you order directly from the manufacturer? If so, I'd be interested in hearing more about your customer service experience as it develops. If they have improved operations any, I'd be half-interested in scoring the Ge version of the Static Egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Static Egg I have here right now sounds really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Brooks Posted May 12, 2007 Members Share Posted May 12, 2007 Did you get them direct from Holowon or second-hand? I just got them on eBay. The sellers didn't seem to be the builders. It took awhile for the Static Egg+Short Fuse to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted May 12, 2007 Members Share Posted May 12, 2007 It took awhile for the Static Egg+Short Fuse to get here. That sounds like Holowon's MO. How much more tonal variety does the Static Egg's Si/Ge switch provide? On a somewhat-related note, I recently discovered that the Barge Concepts BP-1 can also create "clogged vacuum nozzle" fuzz textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted May 13, 2007 Members Share Posted May 13, 2007 The Static Egg+Short Fuse has alot of options. Adding the Short Fuse to the Static Egg really takes it over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
