Fuzz Pedals

Re: Fuzz Pedals

How come I've never heard anyone mention Devi Ever here before?

I'm sitting listening to her play some live acoustic covers on her Tinychat, come to glance at the forums and find a thread full of references to her pedals. Quite the bizarre coincidence.

Re: Fuzz Pedals

There's 2 Hendrix Fuzz's, the Blue and Red. IMO, the Blue is the better one, it got rave reviews, and is the one that really sounds like Hendrix.

I believe the red one is modeled after one he got later on in his career

Wrong, wrong and wrong...

The red Dunlop fuzz (despite saying JHF) on the PCB is not linked to Jimi in anyway.

The Blue one is silicon and is modeled after one of Jimi later Si Fuzz Faces that he used during the BoG era...

The red one is modeled after nothing except an Arbiter schematic.

IMHO the red one sounds fairly lame at best due to popr quality trannys and half @ssed matchind of said trannys.

The blue one is handmade and uses high quality NOC BC108 trannys and while it does sound very similar to the FF's Jimi used during the BoG it really sounds very little like early Hendrix...

Re: Fuzz Pedals

The Swollen Pickle would be my first choice, it can get close to the Muff thing but also be tailored to fit a lot of different fuzz sounds.

Re: Fuzz Pedals

Visual Sound Angry Fuzz is a good pedal. Three knobs: volume (and lots of it), fuzz, and "anger" (octave level). Also it has a bright switch. Small footprint pedal, mid-range price (around $90 I believe), and a decent range of sounds possible.

Here's a sound sample I did a while back using the Angry Fuzz with the H20 for a little delay:
Volume: ~9:00, Fuzz: 11:00, Anger: 11:00, Bright Switch: off

The power chord parts were the bridge P-90, the single note parts were the neck humbucker in parallel on a P-Rails equipped Sheraton. Egnater Rebel 20 head with eq around noon on all knobs, tube mix center, wattage full, bright and tight off.
