Re: How do you Fuzz?
sounds like your tonebenders are pretty different than mine, from the name i assume its mkiii based. the fuzz50 sounds cool, what are the other lovepedal fuzzes you have?
I'm told the the Lovepedal Mk III is (somewhat confusingly) derived from a Mk I Bender; mine's the Vanilla version. Sean said they called it the Mk III because it looks like his old ProAnalog Mk III pedal. It and the Bonetender are similar in feel and cleanup but not identical in tone. I'd say the Mk III has a bit more gain on tap when dimed, and slightly fuller low mids. Maybe a slightly smoother top end but it still sears.
The Bonetender is pretty much an old school Mk II, probably changed only slightly from the classic circuit. Rolling back the guitar volume brings it down from raging to merely rude yet it still has an attitude.
Then there are those Fuzz 50s, truly splendid with bright humbuckers. With vintage output singlecoils they have a little less gain on tap than a classic FuzzFace, though they still sound great. Like I said above the circuit isn't technically a FF but it behaves like one, only with tighter bass and a little more midrange cut in a band mix.
I have a germanium BBB which is half Rangemaster, half FuzzFace with a knob to control balance between the two. There are a couple of versions of this pedal with different transistors, mine has a black glass OC42 and sounds amazing.
Also have a White Dragon, similarly Rangemaster+Fuzzface but this one is silicon I think. With both of these pedals I like to run a little of the treble boost with the FuzzFace sound; it tightens the lows a bit and adds a subtle something extra to the highs.
My other Lovepedal fuzz is the Mississippi Tchula, another germanium box. Once again I'd describe it as a not-quite-Fuzzface, this one fat & sloppy. I believe this one's also based on the Church Of Tone, though Sean has never gone into much detail about his circuit designs. It's wilder and swampier than the Fuzz50s, but like them it doesn't sound or feel anything like the regular COT circuits I have.

. I get a more "modern", metallic sound though... still not bad.
