i did a demo for the wilson ten spot II wah, and in the last 1/3rd of the video turned on the snow white fuzz. 8)

it sounds AMAZING with wah....

i think most fuzzes are not supposed to be "friendly" with wah.......but the snow white seems to be agreeable. what do you think?

whenever you need to record, you let me know, and you can borrow mine 8)

can't let it go for TOO long, as i use it a lot......but you are welcome to use it if you need it for a couple weeks...

Hi,

Very cool Slim. Yes I did check and tuned the SWF to work with a wha.
I'll get to the story why I don't own a wha someday.

My pedalboard is now in pieces and I'll need to get dual lock diapers to get it together again.

I'll say the same huckleboogie, if you need to record you can borrow my SWF but not for long as that is one fuzz I use.

However, Sickle over at the D*A*M forum was extremely nice and gave me a Gibson FZ-1B to repair and keep if I got it running. I lent it to a popstar here who recorded with it last week. That thing got my mind working for a different fuzz sound... it made me play all kinds of 70's rock riffs I only remember from hearing through my elder brothers bedroomdoor- funny how music lingers in the mind year after year....ah there are tons of fuzz sounds inspiring all kinds of music.

Hey Slim is that a Watson Wha? Watson as in the guy that makes Shine Ei replicas?

Have fun
BJ

in Slim's clip it sounds soo good- exactly like i remember it. people keep saying it works best with humbuckers- i don't know and dont't care, it made my strat do things i hadnt heard before 8)

BJ, it's a Wilson wah....Kevin recreated the ibanez WH10, which is a very cool sounding wah. Kevin makes a few other pedals as well, and about a dozen wahs. Watson makes the superfuzz clone, i think they are a different company.

hmmmm.....playing an FZ-1B and getting inspired? time for another wild BJF fuzz??? 8)

seems like those people who collect a lot of pedals seem to have FUZZ more than any other pedal. i think this is because while overdrives can be similar, there are many more flavors of fuzz :mrgreen:

well, after some more "testing" and jamming.......the SWF is the best sounding fuzz i have ever used with a wah. really RICH and full. it gets close to some of the tones i remember Eric Gales getting when i gigged with him years ago. he had all his pedals painted flat black, and would not tell me what they were 8)

the SWF continues to surprise me on a daily basis. and yes, like huckleboogie, i use it with a strat too....
