Members Matt_plan-R Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Have a Fender Vibro-King coming to me via fedex today.... Thinking Tonebone Classic for distortion and Fulltone 70's for Fuzz. I don't need muff-style - I would like it to be bluesy yet aggressive... I would like it to be full and work for power chords - yet singing sustain for leads - I would like to stay away from anything shrill and thin. Thoughts?

Members alex_law Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 It sounds like BOG era Hendrix. I don't think of it as quinessentially bluesy. It's just... well, BOG era Hendrix. There. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members papa taco Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 I was just enjoying mine big time yesterday. You know what makes it gold though? A bridge position single coil. I wish I had a strat, man. I've got an old beat to hell Epiphone Les Paul custom with a JB in the bridge though and when I split the JB it sounds godly through the 70. Cool pedal. It sounds its best through a slightly dirty or pushed clean amp IMO. taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alex_law Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Oh, by the way, the word on the street is that the blue ones are cooler than the older purple ones. I don't know one way or the other. I do have two of the newer blues ones - like Taco said, single coils (bridge or neck, really...) = gold.

Members papa taco Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mine's the purple one and I love it. Never tried a blue one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine used, I saw it sitting in the Schlong & McQuade (Canadian equivalent of Guitar Centre) and tried it and thought "this is a raw bitch. It makes me randy."

Members alex_law Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Uh huh. Must be the BC-108C "Randy Edition" trannies. They were the ones with the most mojo. Nifty though, good to know the purple ones are also winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members papa taco Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, the trim pot in there is just ripe for the tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kelly Posted September 20, 2005 Members Share Posted September 20, 2005 The '69 is nice, too. Less gain but very tweakable. Think "Jimi Plays Monterey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt_plan-R Posted September 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 How important is it to put this pedal first in your signal path?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spudro Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Originally posted by Matt_plan-R How important is it to put this pedal first in your signal path?? According to Mike Fuller it is critical to have his true bypass pedals hooked in line before anything that may not be true bypass. Experiment and see what works for you, but that is what Mike thinks.

Members alex_law Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 True bypass aside, isn't impedance an issue with fuzzes? I seem to recall that's why they want to go first in line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt_plan-R Posted September 21, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 All I would have in front of it would be a tru-bypassed wah, and a passive volume pedal.... Would those create an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alex_law Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 A stock Clyde, RMC or similar wah will cause an awful squealing sound when placed before the Fulltone '70. This result is authentic - check out Jimi at the Isle of Wight. There's a workaround using a buffer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
