Another Merry Xmas

MikeM

Hey guys

So I have been phoning customs since the 23rd of December. Waiting for a parcel.

Finally got it today. Hunted through the house, found a 9v adapter, wrong polarity, cut and resoldered that.

Plugged it into my blackouts twosome ? YES I FINALLY GOT IT!!! A little more brutal than I expected but man, I can dial in just about any kinda fuzz I want - from crazy Muse stuff to some downright dirty crazy heavy stuff to some Jack White type stuff I wanted as well..

you have the sickest kit, nice one...

look forward to talking gear man ?

TomCat

Ok...now you HAVE TO find those extra 2 6L6's for you twin..... ?.. ?

MikeM

Found em, but this thing makes my champ knock doors over, don't even want to know what'd happen with the twin!!!

It's awesome, somewhere between a fuzz, distortion, overdrive and eq pedal

Mr Pimp, I've only started getting cool goodies recently but my funds have come to a pretty abrupt end ?

Nice Mike, can't wait to hear it!

I hear you brother ?

Congrats Mike! We NEED some videos of this monster. Some face melting fuzzy goodness ?

Fixd side (Left) Here's me going all Musey, self oscillation then a mad splattery fuzz, more oscillation... Then playing around on the neck pup..

Musket side, massive vol drop sadly.. Just jamming with some powerchord - I basically adjust the boost and the fuzz level as I repeat. Then a quick Steady as she goes riff, then I strum a bit on the high side, adding mids, then playing with the focus control, basically controls bass and attack. Then some buggering around ?

Then a pretty decent tone I think. Just a bit too fuzzy without an amp to soften things up a touch.

get mine soon.

MikeM

Um what?

MIKA-the-better-one

mine arrives sooon, ?

MikeM

Ok now Mika, I'm not sure where you missed this lesson but try and learn from me pal ?

That's cool man. Good for you.

Now you try it.

you seem to be the forum moderator for manners and correct etiquate (spelling???)
Yes mikem this is truelly the holiest of holy days, God bless your fuzz pedal, and all who gaze upon its fuzzy nature. Congradualtions and more for your awsome buy, May your jamming with it be bountifull and ripe, full of joy and vanquishing all sorrow.

I really dont think every comment has to be like this. Mine was simply a "hey cool we both ordered the same pedal"

MikeM

Is it wrong for me to expect some manners?

Dude don't get so defensive - no need to get personal either. It just seemed to me as if you were implying big deal I'm also getting one. Man this pedal has cost more than both my main guitars... Together. So it's a pretty big deal for me. Like you even said, just a congrats would've sufficed.

Btw it's etiquette.. And truly... congratulations... awesome... bountiful... :?

MIKA-the-better-one

no way dude I am super rad happy you getting one, its nice people still use pedals in the current climate. and its a rad pedal you wont see around to often. manners I dont know I think theres no issue here, my spelling is probably the biggest issue. but hey you got my back on that. 8)

MikeM

Anytime bro ?

I'm keen too see how it compares to that big muff of yours man.. So when you do get it, let me know...

Maybe you can give me some suggestions of songs/artists that use fuzzes? I love the sound, just I listen to either heavier or lighter stuff. Lol. Today I jamming to some lounge backtrack with this thing. Sounded good tho.

MIKA-the-better-one

I think you nailed them in your posts.... smashing pumpkins. Qotsa, Kyuss. Jack White, Dinosaur JR, Sonic youth. My muff is pretty much just fuzz, pretty much one sound, what you got there is a whole bouquet of sounds, good ones. Mine should be here any day, dont know with the post really.... I hate t say I am not a huge fuzz enthusiast (despite the muff and blue box) I use it sparingly. Maybe this will change.
I think the fact its orange is crazy cool.
I like the new title you have applied, now that its official I shall submit to it, and back it up, deputey style

MikeM

Jamming through my SFTR.
