Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Mythos Pedals Golden Fleece.

Features and functionality

  • The pedal produces a wooly, thick blanket of fuzz with the guitar volume on full, transitioning from overdrive to fuzz as the pedal is turned up.

    Source
  • Unity gain is achieved around 10 o'clock, but more fuzz develops beyond this point, allowing for a controlled increase in volume and gain.

    Source
  • Placing the Golden Fleece at the front of the pedal chain enhances responsiveness to pick dynamics and volume adjustments, likely due to its single transistor design.

    Source
  • The Golden Fleece's schematic can be mirrored to fit specific build layouts, but careful attention to component orientation is crucial for optimal sound.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Rolling back the guitar volume creates a harmonically rich overdrive, ideal for rhythm sections, while increasing volume introduces fuzz for a dynamic play style.

    Source
  • Works well for fusion solos when paired with a Zen Drive, providing a rich tonal palette for both solos and comping with volume adjustments.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Compared to the Sun Face, the Golden Fleece offers thick fuzz but is perceived as having fewer high frequencies and harmonics.

    Source
  • Unlike the MXR 108, which works well after any pedal, the Golden Fleece struggles with performance when placed after pedals like wahs or buffered bypass effects.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners highlight the pedal's loudness, especially effective when paired with clean amps that can handle increased volume and gain.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Buffered bypass pedals like the Tumnus can affect the Golden Fleece's performance by altering input impedance, even when the buffered pedal is off.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Swapping the 45uf electrolytic cap with a 10uf dramatically reduces flabbiness and bass heaviness in the sound.

    Source
  • Replacing the stock 33n cap with an 18n and using a BC108 transistor significantly improves tonal quality.

    Source
  • The combination of a 2n2222a transistor and an NTE109 diode is favored for achieving a more desirable sound profile.
