LOL!

Wow, you guys have keen eyes. I never even noticed the tone vs. nature or the lack of the "customshop" label on the middle one.

Impressed!

Our geekery knows no bounds!

I also noticed, the "W" on the pedals looks like a pair of boobies.

Teahead,

Bro, we gotta get you out more!!

oh heres the three knob options now available..... any preferences ???

honestly, I think I like the middle knobs the best. although tweaking the standard-ish BJF ones one the right would be easier to bend over and adjust real quick live. Dunno, I like the aesthetic of the middle knobs on the white. they remind me of tires driving through the snow...


Teahead, thats hilarious. I agree completely about the W. hope they don't change it now

had a little time to spend with the SWF,
settings were:
Vol 10
Nature 5(full CW)
Fuzz (full CW)

Tele>pedals>MP amp

A very dynamic pedal indeed. Sensitive to the touch and from the guitars volume. With one pedal setting it can go from a clean distinct note finger pickin to a big grinding open fuzz sound and lots of goodness in between.
I started off on 9v and then went to 18v. Im really like it with 18 v.
,,the Nature had more clarity thoughout and the useable range for me grew. The control with the guitars volume knob seemed to blend smoother, more gradual too. It also allowed the lower vol settings on the guitar to become clearer and overall more useable, allowed for even cleaner tones that at 9V
One could almost leave on all the time as it could go thru clean, clean boost, OD, dist,,up to big Fuzz.
this one is sure to become a classic!

Wow, very nice review - IVe still not tried it on 18v, sounds lke thats the next step!

Ok, you guys are startin to scare me

Yes the first pair were born with 'nature' knobs - I think thats just a carryover from the CAF and PPF having them..... no theres no difference they all have the same TONE knob ..... and yes one poor baby was borned without its customshop birthmark but it got a double extra special mojo blessing so its bad to the tone leave this one alone

And yes I think Tea gets to wear the King Geek hat for awhile



Oh one thing I think I said this originally but this fuzz DOES care wear its placed in line - if you want t he dynamics it has to be up front, or if you want it to sit still more you can put it after a buffered pedal ~ but thats no fun

[Donner]

Oh and the knobs on the right arent the usual bjfe - they are a bit taller but they fit on the other type shaft - but they do look closer than anything else Ive found.....

[Teahead]

Donner, forgive me if this has been addressed already, but did BJ use different pots/shafts/whatever they be in this pedal, that made the change of knobs necessary? Or are you guys just trying something different for a while?

Or, it's none of our busines? Or, stop obsessing over fine details and, like Cork says, get out more? I'd happily adjust the shafts with my teeth if needed. Just so as you know.

Hi,

The Snow White Fuzz uses two 6mm shaft pots and one 6,5mm shaft pot hence the different knob choices.

Have fun
