BJFE / BearFoot fx Guitar Effects Community

Haha... This is totally why I just LOVE different fuzz flavours!!

Donner wrote:The BJFe CAF covers a pretty wide range of fuzztones and over the years there have been many requests to pull it in a number of directions - smoother and singier and more cohesive ---- and the other way too, right thru the 'gates' of velcro and packing tape ..... This version makes best use of the singing side of the germ trannies and does some great soloing Steely Dan stuff ~ a really good companion to the Pink Purple ....... there will be another version that goes in the other direction with enough velcro to stick an over caffienated monkey to a banana cream pie ...

Ahh...now that makes sense...that is what I'm experiencing and because it's set-up this way, hence the more favorable characteristics, especially when rolling down the guitar volume....less chaotic but more musical. I remember reading I think "Teahead" asking for a CAF with a faster gate a while back and I remember thinking the same thing at the time.
I find with the BF CAF, that's exactly what I heard right away, so is that the case or is it just a result of the set-up being less wild, allowing the gate to be more efficient?

whats funny - thru the Tourboxes is that almost to a person - everyone who never heard the BJFe loves the BF ...but the people that have herad an actual BJFe CAF comment that its not as nasty ..... and they are correct - its a bit smoother and cohesive on purpose for the masses as its a great solo tone I think ......there will be an evil version for those so inclined

Well, I'm very much partial to the wilder side of fuzz. I love my AWF and cranked BBOD for the less wild stuff, though.

What I think would really be cool is something TOTALLY nuts, like a CAF Deluxe with a built-in RRB to boost the front end, or a CAF Double Deluxe that's two-sided and the two sides can be stacked.

I believe that I have owned the BJFE versions of all these pedals, as well as the BF EGDM. Excited to taste the differences.

Donner, your description of this CAF being a bit tamed or more musically focused for lead work is very very appealing to me. I was blown away by the CAF while I had it, but it was a bit bright in my rig and a little too wild for me. If this is the CAF, but with a bit less roar and bit more of a smooth solo tone, could be a match made in heaven. Of course, the AWF with the Gain dimed and the tone knob all the way up was probably perfect for me, but sometimes I just want that octave chaos but without being quite so spitty...


Can't wait for the box to get here!

Is it too late to sign up for the tourbox?

Had an emergency/set back last week, so will try to do some demos of the peds over the next 2 days with a follow up review, and send it on to "thiscall"...BTW, since you are so close to me, you should get it within a day from posting, or even if you want to meet somewhere to drop-off/pick up directly, just send a PM ...either way is fine by me.

Hey there,

PM me your info. and we'll get you on this list. I think the Tourbox still has two more stops anyway. I'd be happy to include you.
