Members ChocolatyShatnr Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 I want that buzz-saw type fuzz on Psychocandy in a modern pedal. I have an older Fuzz Factory, but mine doesn't quite do it for me in this dept. It was a Shin-ei fuzz they used, no? Anyway, I'd like to keep it under $150... what's out there? Maybe I should just suck it up & get an Octane 3 to be a ZVex fuzz elitist Out of interest, would a Big Cheese (clone) be able to cop that JAMC tone? Thanks!

You want a boss hyperfuzz, a black cat superfuzz, or a vintage member of the superfuzz family. But NOT a voodoo lab superfuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Bee-Baa is a clone of the thing he wants, Univox Super Fuzz as built by the Shin-ei factory. cheers,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members todd richman Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Exactly, the Shin-Ei Fuzz is the J&MC fuzz. There is a company in Australia called Tym Guitars-google them-they make a very cool looking replica of the Shin-Ei. You could also go cheaper with a Voodoo Lab Superfuzz perhaps or an MJM Guitar FX China Fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a superfuzz in the vintage sense (i.e for JAMC), and quite different tonally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodoo Lab is a clone of a Jordan Bosstone, waaaaay different than the Univox Superfuzz/Shi-Nei fuzzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members preservation Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 personally i'd do a google search for 'death by audio'.oliver's pedals are spot-on, as JAMC is one of his biggest influences --- definitely apparent in his old band Skywave and his new one A Place to Bury Strangers.

Members angus_old Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 the secret to getting that sound isn't fuzz, it's reverb. you can get it with a dano od Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir H C Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Don't forget the use of "stuck wah" to keep it shrill. Saw them live in '86, and you could hear him tweak the wah to get the super icepick sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzup Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 The post about the Wah is a good idea. I do the same to get that shrill buzz saw sound. Another good cheap pedal for that sound is the Guyatone TZ2 which models itself after a univox superfuzz. The Guyatone goes for 60 on Musiciansfriend I think. Great little pedal, I use mine all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DICKTRON Posted June 30, 2006 Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Don't forget the cranked amps and hollow body guitars, too--they contributed quite a bit too the sound. Oh yeah, and it helps to be {censored}ed up and Scottish.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 A Fender Blender Custom or Ibanez FZ7 (in '10% damage' mode) with a low gain setting could probably get you close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
