Members nuke_diver Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 I never had a fuzz or wanted one Then I heard this and had to have it Now it is my favourite pedal and I don't think I'd be happy without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeanoBoy Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Originally Posted by GREC I love my English Muff'n even more than my '76 Muff.Strum lightly & it's nice & clean, strum hard & its Marshall-esque.

I was interested in the English Muffin when it was first released, particularly Peter Stroud's video, but it dropped off the radar rapidly. I'm going to look into it again. Thanks.

Members BeanoBoy Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Forgot to mention my Yardbox. Coupled with my Tele, it gets pretty close to Jeff Beck's rude sounds from his Yardbirds days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strung_Out Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Wasn't huge on them until I picked up a Fulltone '69 MKII on a whim. Now I'm certainly a convert, love that pedal for low gain fuzzy goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cobalt Blue Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Originally Posted by Raymar Just curious, exactly what year was it that stomp boxes became referred to as pedals? There is no pedal on a stomp box yet they're called pedals. They're even put in pedal boards that often don't have a pedal(wah wah, volume, etc.) in them. Actually, I believe they were known as pedals for a long time before the term stomp boxes was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have EH fuzzes, a Swollen Pickle Mk.II, even a Dano Cool Cat fuzz. I love them all. Very useful, versatile pedals. I tend to like the silicon fuzzes a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pharaoh is the central ingredient in my tonal recipe - juices up the amp nicely and makes it crunch the way I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warriorpoet Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 ...and now for something a little different...This is a Trostsky overdrive with a couple minor mods, stacked with a GuitarPCB Stage 3 booster.So why different? If you're familiar with the Trostky, it's a modified Electra boost circuit using an old Soviet silicon transistor and germanium clipping diodes. Long story short, it's kinda fuzzy. I increased the input signal and decreased the clipping threshold at the diode stage, and voila' FUZZ! What a gloriously articulate and sparkly fuzz, though. It's like a nice OD and a Si fuzzface running in parallel. hit the boost, and SOLO! It's a nice combination, and a relatively simple build, once you get past wiring two circuits in one medium-sized box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warriorpoet Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Originally Posted by mistersully love to hear some clips of your pedals if you get the time Heh. I'd love to make a bunch, but I have 5 little girls running around here that show up on anything micced I'll see what I can do with the next batch; it'll be worth making clips of. Think hybrid Fuzz Face + Rangemaster with a Big Muff EQ stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Definitely likes me some fuzz. I only own 2 fuzz pedals though. Of course I only have 1 of every other type of effect/stomp so it's by far the effect I own the most of The VFE Fiery Red Horse is my main unit with a good amount of versatility. For $30 I'm also pretty pleased with my BBE Free Fuzz too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I still had it. Back in the early 70s I live on Long Island where Univox had it's warehouse. Lots of folks had these. I recently checked Ebay to see about picking one up - they're going for $400+ ! Should have kept one from back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kellanium Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I don't own nearly as many fuzzes as i'd like. I have an NYC Big Muff with a tone bypass switch that i semi-installed. I also have a BYOC fuzz face (germanium) That i absolutely adore. I put the bias pot on the outside and i can get some really wonky stuff with it like that. I need to solder a couple of grounds back though, one broke off on the output jack and now it just humbuzzes like no tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
