Members fuzzface71 Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Anyone here tried or own one of these? Is it an original fuzz or is it a Fuzz Face, Big Muff, tonebender derivative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kestral Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 If it didn't say "Mass Street Music" on it, I'd think that Olle was selling his already.Of course, now that we've made fun of him for selling it, he'll keep it, even if it's out of spite! So technically that's still selling it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 I suspect Olle sold his Cornish pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kestral Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 I did a poll last week about it and according to the man himself, he still has the pedal. Of course, this guy would sell his own grandmother if he knew he could get a couple of Exchange Rate points out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 i still have it......its the hugest, fattest, most crunchy like fuzzmachine in the world. Big Cheese and Swollen Pickle sounds tame in comparison. Then you are at gainlevel 12 0 clock and it justs keeps on bringing more and more fuzz/distortion without ever getting lost in the mix or sounding compressed or without string-separation. But its not 500 dollars better than my Foxey Fuzz....i will pull out the P-2 when i need it, not selling it yet anyways...it really is THAT good. If you were to try one youd know..... Theres something in it that makes everything sound good....sometimes almost too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 heh, it's just that you bought a Twin Reverb and are now looking at ES-335's that I figured you got an offer you couldn't refuse ...what bugs me is the Cornish circuit, it could very well be a souped up FZ-2, but if you take a peek inside, the warranty is void, right ? that's not very nice of Cornish ...I zstill have to try my first Cornish pedal, have been on the phone with someone who owned a couple of Cornish pedals, but he was looking for buyers, and I just wanted to try the pedals, not buy 'em, I'm done with buying pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 i sold my orange rockerverb + tokai es-100.....i got 2800 bucks for them.....and today i bought the twin reverb for 900 bucks....that leaves me 1900 bucks that i can do whatever i want with....new guitar !

Members ollenorin Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 the p-2 sounds nothing like a fz-2, i had a fz-2 last week.....its not one similar thing to those two....well it is a fuzz. if you were to try a p-2 youd know what im talking about.

Members pbhtrip Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 It's hard to describe the sound of Cornish pedals, they just don't sound like anything else really. I have an SS2 and it's the same way, totally unique. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kestral Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Olle, congrats on your new purchase! What kinda Twin is it? A 65 reissue? A vintage SF/BF?I've kind of put a little bit of $$$ into my gear budget lately. Between that selling some pedals, I have about $1000 USD to spend on gear.A local music store called me to tell me I have a store credit. I *know* it's a computer/salesperson error because I keep track of every dollar I have. In fact, going through my records, I *know* it's a salesperson error in my favor That's not going to keep my from spending it! It's exactly enough for a brand new Ibanez TS-808 reissue which if I get will send to Robert Keeley to get modded to vintage specs. Right now I'm trying to decide between the TS-808 or putting in the extra $$$ and getting a MicroKORG.On the subject of fuzzes, I've owned and played a number of them, vintage/reissue Big Muffs of all types, standard issue (ie. Boss, DOD) and even some hand made boutique ones and out of all of them, the best fuzz I think was the Analogman Sun Face NKT 275. It just irks me that Mike didn't/couldn't put a 9V adapter and LED into it! I'm kinda GASing a fuzz right now and the Analogman is top on my list but given the shortcomings, I'd consider other options. I remember there were some other folks who also made Fuzz Face clones using NKT 275 but can't think of any of the brands at the moment (anyone know off-hand?)

Members ollenorin Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 its a -74 that has been totally blackfaced, new front etc...no master volume...and modded to sound like the old blackfaces, its 100 watts....sweet reverb and a great vibratochannel.... i got a good deal i think.

Members Kestral Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Nice! I think you got a great deal too! Remember to post pr0n pics of it when you get it! I'm looking for something small right now, like a vintage blackface Princeton Reverb or an old Harvard Tweed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Teahead Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Kestral, I had the Analogman NKT275 Sun face and used it in my rig for a few weeks. It's a great pedal, no doubt, but not best suited to the Vox sound for me... I found the Keeley Fuzz Head to be a much better match. It's very hard to say exactly why, it just sounded closer to how I wanted my amp to sound. I would say it's a little more "hi-fi" than the Sun Face, certainly with more gain and definitely with more volume. The Keeley also kept the character of my amp in tact far better than the Analogman, which suited me. It has the 9v input plus led of course! Not to mention the extra silicon gain stage. Well worth checking out if you're the type of guy who doesn't much go for the "deep" and "fuzzy" fuzz pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elctmist Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Wasn't the Cornish fuzz supposed to be a tweaked Big Muff style circuit with his buffer stuff included? I could be completely wrong but I remember reading that years ago, maybe he's refined it more? DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kestral Posted February 17, 2005 Members Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hi Teahead,Thanks for the info. I owned a Sun Face NKT 275 and if you could believe it, I sold it because I thought it sounded "too vintage"! It sounded really great on my AC15tbx. When I stuck my Boss FA-1 in front of it, I got a sound that was very reminiscent of The Edge's "747" sound (apparently I needed to feed back my Korg SDD-3000 on itself in order to get the full effect).Now I'm kicking myself wondering why the hell I sold it in the first place I ended up selling it I think to Papa Taco who ended up selling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
