Sorry I haven't been around much - I've been extremely busy on numerous fronts - but wanted to get this up since the month is already half over. Congratulations to Hot Wired Audio and to Atom Amps on being selected for their excellent contributions to the world of TONE! Rock on and thanks - as always -for reading!

I don't think there is a site for it. They are made by SpeedDemon on this board. Good guy to deal with. :thu:

 

Good to see the picks Rev. Hang in there man. :D

I have found a bad sounding setting on the HWA Fuzzwork Orange though, with all the knobs set to zero, it sounds very bad

Yeah, the sheer amount of volume it produces with the 'Plus' set to zero just plain sucks. :D

 

@Bieke and the Rev; you guys played a lot of different fuzzes, right? In terms of noise/hiss, how do you find the Fuzzwork Orange?

 

I have a very limited experience with non-selfmade fuzzes, and those were pretty quiet (Boss FZ-2 and FZ-3). :confused:

I have to add a treble booster to get some hiss out of it, and it gets a little noisy when used with distortion, overdrive, full range treble boost and SHO (blame it on the treble booster), it is rather picky when it comes to cascading dirt pedals with the Fuzzwork Orange, lower notes can sound flabbery, the Machine can take care of that, picks it up and makes it smooth again, and very, very dirty

:cool:

I don't have any Hot Wired Audio pedals yet, but my Atom Amp is well, the way amps should sound. It is 15 watts of bliss. Great clean and when it is dimed....{censored}...make room for the bloom. Guitar, cord and amp done deal! It likes pedals too, but you don't need them. Single Coils or Humbuckers it delivers. Both John Spears and Larry Rogers were very cool to deal with. :thu::D

Thanks for the kind words Bieke -but I want to thank you for the trillion beautiful gear photos of some of the most obscure pedals from across the globe that you have provided to this forum for years now. You are one of the main reasons I keep coming here - it's like watching a Jacque Cousteau treasure hunt for gear sluts everytime you post up a gallery. Thanks for all your time in doing that - and for the equal 10 tons of knowledge. Rock on. :cool:

Well whether it's 15 or 18 watts - this bitch can wail. I didn't know you got one too -awesome!!!!!! Now only you and the Gainster know what I'm talking about. :D:eek::love:

I think the reason the Fuzzwork is so well voiced - is because you didn't have a hundred other fuzzes in your head to clutter your thoughts. This one is perfect and it's all you Remco. There's something very Euro-Soul about pedals from overseas..like the Cheeky Monkey and the Trace Elliot Overdrive, and the George Dennis pedals and the like..they have something extra in the voicings and I can't quite describe it. How's this - you ROCK! :eek:

 

No noise issues whatsoever here my friend - perfect.Just perfect. :thu:

Doin my best little brother. Should be hearing something about my Timmys in the next week or so :D

 

You are correct - Remco does not have a website for his products - just his personal space with his home studio and some other notes about THE man. Very James Bond low profile kind of chap. Isn't it about time for a secret agent (of tone) from the Netherlands? :cool:
