I want to to talk fuzz

[The Shocker]

Foxx Tone Machine reissue:

http://www.foxxpedals.com/tone_machine.htm

I gotta Tone Machine clone for $60 off ilovefuzz.com
Should arrive today, I'm excited.

Definitely want a review.

Yeah, i'll run her thru the ringers this weekend.
Also ended up grabbing a Devi Ever Torns Peaker.

I've been fuzzless since sometime around 2005 when I gave up my Muffs. Don't know why I had the sudden urge to grab them, probably because I'm playing guitar rather than bass more and more nowadays.

How's the Torns Peaker? I have the schematic and i've been thinking about cloning it, but I want to get a recommendation before I sink time and money into a build.

I finished a byoc Univox super fuzz clone last night. Only $75. Made it to Wattson Classic Electronics specs (only a couple resistor/cap differences). Instant Fu Manchu / Electric Wizard.

All of my want

Woah, I always wanted a Super Fuzz. Wish I could build my own pedals, been wanting to jump into it but right now I'm putting $ and time into a Telecaster build.

I'll let ya know what I think of the Torns, I should be getting it today.
I'll post up some clips if I can.

The Tone Machine Clone is pretty fuggin sweet.
The Torns Peaker is kind of a one trick pony but still kinda cool.

I only tried them for guitar so far. Now I need to rework my pedalboard.
I'll try and throw up some clips if I get around to recording this weekend.

My want for a Super Fuzz still hasn't gone away.


I don't want to spend the loot for an original or even the Wattson.
I'd try and build a byoc if I had the time to put into it.

[OUTLANDAH]

The superfuzz is an essential fuzz to anyone pedal. Regardless, if it's the original or a clone. They seem to have gone up about $100 since the last time I browsed ( old sr.com days). Seriously, $550?!!!?!?!?

I got me one o dem guyatone mini fuzzes from Ol Deaner, i dig that thing. Super-fuzz as fux.

I like those little ladybug, pudding cup looking enclosures.

[Lumpy]

Those Guyatone TZ-2 "the fuzz" they are nice, nasty fuzzes. I like the superfuzz clones because I like a lot of gravelly texture. "Smooth" fuzz is mostly 'meh' for me.

[grimniggzy]

I'm really starting to think about spending all that cash on a Wattson but at that point I want a blue and orange enclosure.
Yo, can I getta sweet looking clone. What do Riffer's customs cost. Or should I go to the Fu Manchu guy?

Hey, fuck you! Let me build the BYOC one, and find/fashion a funky enclosure... EH EH?

EDIT: Seriously, don't buy that overpriced shit.

I'm down Jake

Just dont blow your money on something for a similar cosmetic appearance. That always makes me sad.

yeah, I know. they do sound good but I'm sure another clone could cop the sound just as well.

Hell, you could probably talk Nick into building the shit out of one... that goofy bastard could do it for less than the wattson and it'd probably more true to the Shin Ei than the Univox...

That's exactly why I threw it out here. Not tryna spend no $200 on a lil metal box.

[dunwichamps]

for custom shit where I have to make the PCBs for the pedal I charge 150 + ship, if the boards already exist and can be bought cheaply then 75-125 depending upon the pedal

that superfuzz circuit is large, 5 transistors. If i do a turret board then im going to charge the labor for a handwired unit.

still cheaper than a wattson. and i could get my colours.

plus I can do whatever mods you want, including that clean boost Wattson has on their version

if 2 other people will buy a 2 more boards I can lower the board cost and other can build their own version.

I am a smidge busy right now fuck ton of projects but its possible in a lil while.

If board cost is lowered I could get you at $100

[grimniggzy]

Yeah, that is definitely another plus. I probably need it to be usable for bass & guitar also.
