For me...

DAM Drag n Fly - I've owned mine since, well, since Dave started DAM. My pedal was the first small box Drag n Fly he ever made and its awesome.

DAM Greasebox GB-83 - it sounds like a fuzz, plus an overdrive and a treblebooster in one pedal. Loud as hell and sounds killer.

Juansolo Fuzz Unit Clone - its a clone of the B&M Fuzz Unit (Edwin Collins etc) plus it switches to the Colorsound Jumbo ToneBender... fuck me its good. Plus it looks epic too...

@Sounds_Great_Music

I pretty much want that Tone Wicker Big Muff and i know it already.

Give me a week or two and i will give you guys a ring and order from you.

Welcome to the Forum BTW.

Always loved the Harmonic Percolator, the Dist+ used as a fuzz like Husker Du, the FY-2 and FY-6. I'm really getting into the intricacies of the Fuzzrite/Fuzzrong recently too.

UnclePsychosis · March 2015

@impmann that pedal looks awesome.

Any clips? I'm tempted to ask Juan to build one for me (if he will)

impmann · March 2015

@UnclePsychosis Sadly mate currently I'm under doctors orders not to play - and in fact I have no strength in my left hand, otherwise it would have been a pleasure.

Sounds_Great_Music · March 2015

Alnico Brilliant stuff! look forward to hearing from you

impmann The Drag n Fly sounds awsome thanks for getting involved!

meltedbuzzbox i wanted to here your awsome playing though dude! :P

Gonna be getting some boards made for the JTB/FU hopefully (may as well put the switch in if we're having boards done).

We had the '76 JTB over yesterday again to back-to-back it, it's so close it's as good as nailed on. We're very happy. Impmann's was slightly more biased towards the Fuzz Unit side of things. The parts are the same, but the gains for the transistors are different: med/med/high for the JTB and high/high/low for the FU. It makes a subtle difference.

We can't use the original trannies, but the ones we're using are from that period, in the right ranges and work very well indeed.

UnclePsychosis · March 2015

@juansolo certainly very interested in one. What's the ballpark price?

Sorry to hear that. Hope you make a swift recovery.

I'm fairly sure I've been selling them for £70 delivered (not at home at thr mo).

Will let you know when we get the boards done if you interested (prob about a month or so).

I bought a Dr Green 'Hairy Tongue' fuzz today.

It's bloody brilliant as it doesn't hit proper fuzz levels until you get to 3/4 up on the fuzz control. Below that it's ultra useable low levels of fuzz that sound amazing with single coils and right down low it's a boost with just a hint of fuzz that works on an amazing range of sounds. Up towards full it's very vintage, almost 'Tonebender' sounds.

Just two controls, Volume and Fuzz and they are both very interactive but right across the range it's very bright and clear, very good quality sound. Wind the tone control back on the guitar and it gets darker but without being muddy.

Overall it's a very vintage style fuzz but the dynamic range is surpisingly good. If you want a 60's style fuzz then this is very worth looking at and at £50 it's a great buy.

I will also be getting a Big Muff Tone Wicker to sit alongside this one because they are both quite different sounds and the Top Boost of the Tone Wicker is something i'm very interested in.

Please do. :-)

I'm in no rush (expensive month!) so take your time.

I like the Jacques Fuseblower that I got some years ago ago off of Sounds Great Music.

Wazmeister · March 2015

Two of the best I've used;

Number 1 - PTD Rotobone

If your after 184c's I'm on the lookout for some. If you want any let me know. If I can source them I'll get some extra ones

@Sounds_Great_Music

Just bought a Fuzz Tool Junior and a Suhr Rufus from yourselves over the past week. They are both good but the Rufus is my favourite. It's far more flexible and I think has a bit more gain too.

Sounds_Great_Music · March 2015

Alnico iv written a blog on the tone wicker, ill post you a link to it later today

the_twin ahh yes we remember those pedals well, nice choice

Wazmeister nice choices!

Alnico · March 2015

@Sounds_Great_Music

Howdy, Stranger!
