Bad Mother

So this just popped up on ebay///

It's a reverse-graphic EHX Bad Stone from the late 70's.
I have never seen one like this before, but it's pretty damn cool looking!



thanks!

A Pair of Freshies //

Sometimes the world works in mysterious ways...
and in a random turn of events I went from searching for a Seamoon Fresh Fuzz for over 6 years, to finding both versions within 3 months of each other!

On the right is the 1st version (circuit-wise) of the Fresh Fuzz, and on the left is the 2nd version. My initial impression is that V2 is way fuzzier and has a lot more gain to it than V1. But V1 is a lot boomier and fatter in the low end.

I'll do a full post on these in the future. But for now, just know that they are pretty different from each other, and yet both sound great in totally different ways!

MKI Tone Bender(s) comparison

Awesome gift to all of us pedal nerds from Graham, a video comparing a few original MKI Tone Benders...
There are less than 10 known examples of these fuzz fathers surviving today, and Graham is showing off the 3 he owns!

My envy has no bounds...


(massive THANKS! to Graham)

Want to hear a Maestro Fuzz Phazzer?

☟
Just found this demo online today of the Maestro Fuzz Phazzer!
It's pretty ridiculous sounding, and I think I may need to track one down now.

 This is the FP-1, and I believe that there are 2 other versions, the FP-2 and FP-3.  I'm not sure what the differences are, but I'm assuming it's the fuzz?

(check out the secret "octave down" setting, it's pretty sweet)




thanks for watching!

Fuzz & Drive (a collection)

☟
Here's something cool!
A nice set of demos from our friend Tiago Castro, or otherwise known in the fx forum circles as "SBlue", of his pretty sweet fuzz collection. Now the pedals do range from new to old, but it is rare to find such great comparisons all in one place.

So sit back and enjoy///
(and a big thank you! to Mr. Castro for putting all of this together)
