So hypothetically speaking, if you were to get a new fuzz pedal...

Re: So hypothetically speaking, if you were to get a new fuzz pedal...

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.

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.

Speaking of the swollen pickle, ahem..

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

You beat me to both of them.

That's what she said.

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.

You beat me to both of them, lol.

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.

The Way Huge one, the swollen pickle? Its in my list too. There's a company that made a DAM meathead (tbmk2)with clipper selection and bass bandpass. I wanna make one of those too.

I had a pharaoh.

It was cool, but the Basic Audio Tri/Ram was better in pretty much every way.

Queue Everdrone disagreeing with me lol

Re: So hypothetically speaking, if you were to get a new fuzz pedal...

Man, I gotta take another look at the pharoah now. I was looking at the MXR La Machine, the Black Arts Destroyer, and I was about to start looking at some Way Huge stuff.

I love fuzz so much that I can't decide.

I'm with jon the art guy. i just sold my pharaoh. Home building is the way to go because you can tailor it to taste.
Those black cat uniox vsuperfuzzes sound pretty wild tho for something different/

Mammoth/Smallbear?

I get guts mostly from Tayda, enclosures would come from Mammoth b stock and germaniums either from mammoth or guitarpcb. I haven't built in a long time though. Kids and soldering irons don't mix.

Re: So hypothetically speaking, if you were to get a new fuzz pedal...

Pharoah for me too, though to be honest I would rather scrounge up the guts to make it myself, along with throwing in 1 knob fuzz/boost in front of it, switchable. I've got 10 of those on my bench, waiting to be stuck together. Pharoahs are a little more tough to build though, and I hate trying to source germaniums. I just...hate it.
