So there's a very odd group of people out there who, for some reason, don't like fuzz and I know there's probably many here among us who used to be that way, tell us about the situation or the fuzz that converted you into the electric church
All fuzzface variants except the voodoo axe and groovy wizard 😎
Throw out some pedal demos show us why you love a particular one or show how a custom builds sounds!!!
Tell me about a fuzz type or particular pedal you hate! And why...could it be redeemed with more time a different stacking method?
Silicon or germanium 🤔 Wondering what you think and what you like or dislike about your favorite or least favorite
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been stopping in, staying awhile, posting, commenting, and sharing demos, photos, and thoughts. When I first set up this digital sanctuary, the goal was never about chasing numbers or algorithms. A community is absolutely nothing without its people. Otherwise, it would just be me alone in a room, screaming into the darkness about bias voltages and Germanium transistors while my cats judge me from across the room.
Fuzz is a beautiful, unpredictable, and wonderfully loud thing, but it is nothing without the ears and the hearts of the people who love it. This place belongs to all of you. It is about the shared obsession, the late-night tone hunting, and the incredible community you are all helping to build every single day.
If you are enjoying what we have going on here, please consider sharing this space with your friends, your bandmates, or anyone else who appreciates a gloriously clipped signal chain. Let's keep growing this thing together. Thank you for making this place exactly what it was meant to be
I'm just curious because I was really confused. Why they would put out basically just a 2 knob. Fuzz face, don't get me wrong. That is my favorite petal. But the market is literally flooded with fuzz faces. I had to fight the urge to say saturated
So I just don't get it. And some people are raving about it. Like, there's some fancy thing about it that we don't know. So if anybody has tried one, give your thoughts, are they great? Or is one fuzzface just a fuzzface?
I still need a mayer style octavio and a plate reverb is a want considering consolidating with UA golden reverberator Im not coordinated enough for wah so was thinking fixed wah/envelope filter?
How do you feel about standard 2 knob fuzz faces in light of all the boutique and multi knob eq bias controls buffered fuzz face style pedals i feel like its made my hendrix signature fuzz face obsolete
I dont think this one turned out as good as my last one but still cool its a roger mayer axis fuzz circuit but slightly modified
I’m looking to see if anyone in the community would be able to commission a build for me, or if this specific design is feasible as a standalone utility box. I need a strictly passive, variable high-pass filter to act as a "Body" control for my vintage-spec Fuzz Faces. It is vital that the circuit is 100% passive with no buffers or active gain stages, as I need my Stratocaster to maintain its direct impedance relationship with the fuzz transistors for volume knob cleanup. My technical requirement is a series capacitor circuit using a 2.2nF film cap that is variable via a 1M reverse log (C-taper) potentiometer. The pot should act as a variable bypass, where at zero resistance the signal is fully jumped across the capacitor for a stock, woolly response, and as resistance increases, the low-end is filtered out before the clipping stage. I’m looking for this to be housed in a 1590LB or 1590A enclosure with no DC power required, effectively functioning like the bass contour on a G&L PTB system but in a pedal format. If anyone has experience with this type of pre-gain bass-cut or can point me toward a builder who specializes in these kinds of small-box utility tools, I’d appreciate the help.
