Members aeroslepperin Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 i'm still on a fuzzhunt and am wondering if the tonebender (and thus it's clones) are voiced to cut thru sufficiently, being that there are no tone knobs? i've read good things about the mjm britbender and the DAM mkII and i'm thinking either would work for me...but obviously not if i can't hear myself. how do these types of fuzzes compare tonally to a silicon fuzzface clone? thanks.

Members AbbeSauniere Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 The D*A*M is the only one to get. You won't find a better, more accurate clone. I've owned the Britbender and the Proanalog. Both great fuzzes, but not 100% on the mark like the D*A*M. A MKII is a bit less searing than a Si Fuzz Face. Less high end sizzle and more mids. There's less of that aggresive snarl and edge you get from Si fuzzes like a Muff or Si Fuzz Face. A bit smoother, but still high gain and aggressive. Really sings with a slightly overdriven amp. Endless sustain that way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basscracker Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 http://www.myspace.com/mkii i've got the D*A*M MKII with OC75's and a Lovepedal white dragon.the white dragon sounds 99.99% as good as the MKII at tonebendering but also does OD,FF,treble booster and then some.the .01% might have to do with how cool the D*A*M MKII looks.both are really good tonbenders.

I thought you owned the OC82 version. Must have gotten you confused with someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alteredsounds Posted May 31, 2006 Members Share Posted May 31, 2006 Cat's Eye Hop Hed is very very good. I've got many proper Tonebenders and the Cat's Eye is easliy as good but with solid construction and all the modern mod cons you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 +1. I have a Hop Hed and it sounds as if it was voiced to cut through. Plus it has a tone knob (treble knob). I wouldn't dismiss it due to transistor snobbery (mine has AC128s in it) - use the money you save on something else. Listen to the Mark Bram clips Dean has on the site (www.cats-eyeesp.com - "more clips") - very honest and true to the tone of the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
