I can't seem to find the thread ... but I recall that doug deeper (of Mid-Fi Electronics fame) built a limited-edition fuzz that was supposed to be similar ... I believe that it was called the "Hard Square Limiter" or something of the like ... :confused:

yeah, i remember someone posting sumthin about a remake but it wasn't clear what the original was. i'm specifically interested in the Bat Macumba/A Minha Menina tone. could just be a maestros style unit--but i know they had some wacky handmade jobbies too.

yeah i can build um!
i got a schematic from munky over at diystompboxes.com
its pretty close to the sound on the first record but a lot closer to those on the second and third...
it was part of a home made guitar synth sergio used...
but this is the fuzz used...im pretty sure it went straight into the board on the first album.

i should have said "guitar synth"

it was this fuzz...an octave up (rarly used it seems)

a phaser type circuit, some sort of filtering.

(ave lucifer! i need that sound!)

all in one large box...

 

 

so basically an analog mulit-effector?

check out some of sergio diazs late 70's prog stuff...it sucks...but you can hear him making some insane sounds with the same "guitar synth".



thanks.

know of any websites w/ info on their gear?

btw, i like the story about kurt cobain trying to organize a reunion tour. arnaldo refused because sergio wanted to play fenders and not gibsons!
:D

fuzz.
I WANT IT!!!

 

me too!

 

i think 60's maestro-style units are yr best bet as far as readily available pedals. i get close with my DOD classic fuzz with the treble CRANKED and a dano daddy-o after it for extra crackle.

 

still, not the same...
