I've been playing with my new toys the past couple days (an addrock germanium fuzz with nkt275 thingy majiggys, an addrock si fuzz, and an addrock boost master).
First impressions: Si fuzz is CRAZY. Seems to have WAY more output than the Germanium, and is brighter and can make my already overdriven JCM800 sound like it is literally going to destroy the universe... loads of fun with a phaser and all... also cleans up amazingly well.
Germanium fuzz... at first sounded all wierd and farty, then guy that traded to me said it's fussy when too cold or too hot (
). I let it sit for an hour at room temp and adjusted the bias and it became SMMMOOTTH and sweet.
Not as much output as the Si by a long shot, but does almost get dirtier and cleans up great, but not same as the Si, more robust and girthier clean up if that makes sense. Very much more midrange in sound and doesn't kick the amp in the nuts as hard, and almost feel a DROP in volume, but I think that's the compression as when I play into the clean input it's a bit louder... not much, but a bit. Definably more tame and 'older' sounding.
