Got this a couple of weeks ago after reading about them for some time. Trying to catch one up on the website took some time too. Still learning and experimenting with the various knob positions, which are all interactive with each other to an extent. So far it's one of my favorite Fuzzes. Chord work has a surprising amount of clarity for a fuzz. Capable of singing sustain, that then crumbles and sputters out nicely. Like it so much it has replaced my Sunface on my pedalboard.

All fuzzface variants except the voodoo axe and groovy wizard 😎

​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?

Show me your boards!! where does your fuzz live?

Badass pedal from hello sailor effects

After one of my favourite pedal brands (Mythos) announced that they are scaling down and stop selling via retailers, I decided to support them and ordered my third fuzz pedal from them: The Big Puft.

A year later it's still my go to-fuzz. I even traded away my previous go to-fuzz, the Fjord Fuzz Embla, simply because I always ended up using this instead.

The builder is DANSK PEDAL, which may seem a bit strange considering DANSK means "Danish" and the pedal is built in Norway, but the builder is Danish, so it makes sense.

When starved, combined with a neck single coil, it provides a beautiful mellow Lo-Fi tone that can heard in the full version of the video: https://youtu.be/sgIwimd6Xiw

The signal chain is purely guitars > Dansk Vrede > UAFX Dream'65 (set cleanish) > Audient ID4. No post-prod.

This is the old version of the pedal, with a PCB. Recently Dansk Pedal started building them purely point-to-point, which, at least to me, makes them even cooler.
