Ok,so I just made two of these and I'm absolutely loving the Fuzz Factory,I've always been a bit trad when it came to fuzzes but when I got asked to make one recently for someone and tested it I comu fall in love with it,I just had to have one of that space age oscillation fuzz on my broad,...a great modern fuzz I think Jimi Hendrix would have adored had it been available in the 60s,I think that pritty much say it all!
Really love all the ehx & russian big muffs I wanted to review the usa pi version because I think it has a great sound if you do a tone bypass mod ,I did and found I got instant queens of the stone age type sounds, as well as a coll white stripes stuttering solo tone due to the extra 7db the tone pot sucks usually when in stock mode Really cant recommen buying one and doing the mod enough if your after the tones I mentioned. I will be going to make a green russian clone next for all the black keys tones, really love all carnations of the big muff!
This is great for given you access to all those old boss pedal tones. I know I've lost a lot of the original boss stompboxs I've owned over the years,but with this I can get all the overdrives and boosters (as well as some of the more idiosyncratic pedals boss have released) in one floorboard.. it's a great bit of kit that I use all the time along side my other pedals!....great for overdrive tones!
Ive always preferred using hardware to capture recording as aposed to daws, and when I got this a few years back I was really chuffed becuse it was a basic 4track recorder that let me get thing down easily and quickly. Its a good machine and well worth the £60 I paid for it the only down side with the mini disk version I have is the limited availability of md data disks, a standard mini disk only lets you record on 2 of the 4 tracks, while having a data disk gives you the full 4 tracks, the problm is companys like sony stopped making them 3 or 4 years back, so I guess mine will be like the wire recoreding machine in a 100 years time :-( I still love it though!!!
Please note that im reviewing a pedal I built to the same spec as the original superfuzz...I really love this fuzz for the mild upper octave sounds the circuit can archive. I also like the more standred fuzz tones on offer here thanks to six 2n3904 npn silicon transistors.its a truly great fuzz that has much in common with the old shin ei fuzzes from the past, if you love fuzz this pedal is a absolute must!!
I know im reviewing a homemade clonebut I made it to the same specs as the original only I used bc108c silicon transistors and I think its sounds amazing. I know people talk about transistors all the time when they discuss their fav fuzzes but ive found that choosing the right battary is as important when your trying to get a good sound out of it I would always recommend Duracell batts all the way. I dont know if its due to the minimum parts desgin of the circuit or what, but ive found that the battary can be the differance between a fuzz face youll love and one you just think is a dud..I dont know if thats true of modern jim dunlop ones as I only ever used old and homemade ones based on the old arbiter desgins.pnp & npn but I wanted to share here what ive fouund.Iits a great pedal that gives you jimi type sounds but the batts can make the differance between Hendrix tone and that horrable note decay hell you can sometimes experience.
I love this guitar so much, it may not be a expensive model but I think its a players guitar, plues it stays in tune like a dream thanks to quality tuners...excellent!!
I love the cool 60s sounds I can get out of this guitar, although I will say it does take some setting up with the bridge and if I could do anything cutom to it I would get rid of the classical fretboard & the zero fret...love it though,
