    The Swollen Pickle is awesome. My bassist friend uses it when we jam and it sounds massive. Works just as well for the guitar.

    The Javelina (sp?) also looks awesome.

      Either the swollen pickle or the havalina. I know I want my next fuzz to sound huge and that swollen pickle has some monstrous lows.

            Speaking of the swollen pickle, ahem..

            Does it sound muffy in person? I love muffs but I'm not sure if I need another.

              Yeah, it's very much a muff. As is the Pharoah, but it's like a versatile muff. I think if you want another fuzz you should look for something that's not a muff derivative at all. A Tonebender-ish fuzz would be a great place to start.

                I was looking at one of those $300 tonebender reissues last night and almost bought it.

                Even if its muffy I'm not opposed to the swollen pickle.

                You'd be the guy to know, of course.

                  Was it per chance the Keeley Black Glass British? If so, be glad you didn't because for that price there are actually people using NOS transistors (apparently the Keeley ones aren't.) If you're interested in TB fuzzes I can give you a few places to start that (should hopefully) be well under $300.

                    When I start building I can pop one out for ya. TBs are what I like, and I have some plans for em. Nothing pretty on the inside for sure.

                      My first fuzz (not counting a really badly modded NYC Big Muff) was a Lovepedal Silicon Fuzzmaster. I wish I had it now that I know how to use fuzz more. Take a look, they're super versatile for being a three knob fuzz, and PGS Andy's demo video of it is extremely accurate as far as demonstrating what it actually sounds like.

                        Swollen Pickle is cool, I actually like the original better than the mkII. I think the extra controls make it more difficult to dial in.
                        Oh no.....


                        Oh Yeah!

                          Yeah, a seven knob fuzz (counting the trimmers on the inside) is a lot.

                            I like my guy Joe Gores take on fuzz he makes a few and now he has an actual builder making his stuff should be an improvement on quality. http://vintageking.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=duh

                              Nah. I never really got into keeley stuff. Not a demerit to them, just never found anything I really cared for.

                                You'd make me a special box of fuzzy doom?

                                I'd be honored.
