Beautiful od/fuzz box
I found in this pedal what I was looking on the ZVex Fuzz Factory. It seems to be a stranger for the Big Muff family. To me, it sounds like a modded Fuzz Face or Tone Bender. You can get a nasty but singing 60's/70's fuzz tones. It fuzzes, but the 6th string still breathes. I use mostly the Distortion side, but the OD is quite useful for some mild distorted parts.

Best brand new Tube Screamer I've tried
I had every Tube Screamer reissues and this one is the only one that sounds exactly the same as the old TS9. Reissues of classic pedals trend to exaggerate things. Brand new Ibanez Tube Screamer (ts9 and ts808) sounds too smooth and too middy. This one is more subtle, more natural. It doesn't make your tone like if you're listening it from an old radio.

the old ones sound a bit variable, I have owned a number of original TS9s and they were different at the same settings and were also different than a friend's 90s RI, but that RI could be set to sound just like the 80s one I owned, The old one had a bit more treble on tap with the tone knob wide open, but for most people they are awfully similar. From the audience at a show they are indistinguishable, even by the sound guy doing FOH.

Hybrid Strat
This is a guitar that I put together myself. The body is from a 1997 Purple Metallic American Standard and the neck is from a 1977 Strat. I love the 2 points tremolo with solid steel saddles. It used to have Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot pu's but changed them for DiMarzio FS-1

I'll bet its heavy for a strat too... of course, it looks just like Hendrix's white Woodstock strat....

It's super light. I also have a 79 ash Strat that's quite heavy, but this 71 is featherweight

cool, I am always interested in hearing about the quirks of Post-CBS Fenders... that was a weird era at Fender... sounds like your 71 is more on the 60s side of weight-wise.... how were the original pickups?

Yes, my 71' is like a 68. It has maple neck with maple cap fingerboard and 4 bolt joint. I don't know how the original pickups were; I've bought it 13 years ago with Fender 57' 62' pu's

Hey buddy. I don't know what's the weight like. It's not a back breaking guitar but I've played much lighter LP's.
