Members Fuzz Explosion Posted September 29, 2006 Members Share Posted September 29, 2006 that pedal rips, it's the most versatile fuzz I own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted September 29, 2006 Members Share Posted September 29, 2006 Has anyone played through a Wolftone Chaos, Tim Escobedo Uglyface, and/or Subdecay Noise Box? If so, I'd be interested in hearing a comparison of any combination of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's not all that good. Not much tonal differences. Very clean, not really dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Barnaby, Hardly Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 Chaos owners - I need your help! Does anyone have the manual to hand? I need to know the power specs, as much info / detail as possible... I just tried to power it with my Flatliner and a reversed polarity cable and it's making the pedal way noisier than when I use batteries with it.

The manual really doesn't tell you any more than what's printed on the outside of the pedal: 9v tip+. I'm not sure what the current draw is but I don't think it would be more than the 200ma the Flatliner puts out. I think it's a really inspiring pedal! Not an out and out skronk machine like the Noisebox but very flexible and mixes well with other "weird OD" pedals. The closest comparison I could make would be the Ampeg Scrambler (gnarly texture, touch sensitivity) with some some extra filtery weirdness.

Members RitalinCupcake Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've always just used a battery with mine. It is a great pedal, much more versatile than I expected. Lot's of great dirt sounds, really unique light OD sounds, sounds kind of like the SCOD at some settings and lots of cool filtery synthy stuff.

Members Barnaby, Hardly Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 This pedal deserves a bump. It rules so hard. Cuts through any mix like nothing I have ever heard. Sounds insane stacked with reverb & phase before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've always been intrigued by this pedal. I never see them for sale. I saw one on TGP many months ago, and I thought about jumping on it. Sadly, I didn't and I haven't seen one for sale since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 AF-100's description leads me to believe that it sounds similar to a Crowther Punes'n'Custard ... is this an accurate assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted April 6, 2009 Members Share Posted April 6, 2009 I just watched the video ... fatbackribs' tone sounded similar to what I've been able to dial in with a Spencer Amps Subzombie. http://spenceramps.com/subz.html *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd be interested in hearing a comparison of any combination of the three. I've never tried the Uglyface, but I did own the Chaos and a Noisebox at the same time... The Chaos is a lot more musical - should that be what you're looking for. Obviously the opposite argument is that the Noisebox gets way more crazy.I guess I would say that I used the Chaos for riffs and sustained notes whereas the Noisebox was more adept for non-traditional sounds and almost percussive playing.

Members Barnaby, Hardly Posted April 7, 2009 Members Share Posted April 7, 2009 Can anyone who knows about these sort of things perhaps shed some light on what makes this pedal cut through so well? I know nothing of chips and suchlike, and I would love to have better experiences with using fuzzes live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spentron Posted April 8, 2009 Members Share Posted April 8, 2009 Judging from the transformer in that pic, there is a traditional octave multiplier circuit somewhere in there. Might not even be used in all modes. It also includes something that sounds like can be produced with an out of phase distortion signal but may not be, anyway an unusual waveshaper with exagerated or reversed dynamic properties. Or this just comes out how the octave can be mixed or tweaked. I see enough of what are probably diodes to say there could be multiple distortion stages and/or a octave chopper. (BTW, the Prunes&C allegedly uses a rather massive octave multichopper (no tx) and a mix.)Compared to Subzombie, well I haven't heard Chaos in person, but in demos it seems to have a smooth sound. That could be part rig but most pedals include smoothing circuitry. It relies more on its octave and may intentionally tone down the base distortion. Vs. w/ SubZ I found full smoothing to be too limiting (?) as it relies more on raw expansion of the distortion spectrum. Octave tones are more transient and less isolated rather than consistent. One thing I try to emphasize is Zombies are as much a general purpose pedal as a crazy one, with a detailed and subtle control of dynamics. There's definitely room for both pedals. BTW I've been experimenting with new finishes/graphix .... ?? There's some great demos on their site, I must say. The playing really highlights the effects. ck3 did a demo (seems to be offline?) of Sub that was nice a while back, although really the playing would have been great through almost anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
