Attention Tonepost Fuzz Tourbox participants

[JP30]

Thank you Cabo for organizing this.
Pedals came yesterday, and they are safe with me.
Now I realize that It would have been better for me if my turn was at the end,
so that I could have read more comments of wiser experienced fuzz person.
All my comments are based on my very limited experience with fuzzy things,
.. so .... please... . . I don't know... I am just having fun...

I took them to my friends wearhouse and play with them today.
I used Fender-Strat in to Roland30w, Champ(RI), and Marshall JCM2000TSLwith4x12cab.(clean channel)
(I had a chance to use Taylor T-5 (soon to be mine), but it did not like fuzz pedals.)

***Disaster Fuzz - She is different from all the rest.
I bought it and it was send back the next day...and It came back modded with a flipswitch.
This is not a fuzz pedal. it's more like a noise maker.
It makes "dead cartoon flog getting squished sound" and "dead cartoon geese getting its neck strangled sound."
I used it with HBOD for the first time. She likes it dirty. it's always reacted well with overdriven dirty amp.
Ocilliation? It is used to drive away annoying neighbors, annoying girl friends, and annoying inlaws by annoying nise.
as Cabo said...it kills sustain and give a drop dead decay. it zombifys your tone or fuzz.
If your in the mood for it... IT IS FUN. but I don't think you will be adding this to your pedal board anytime soon.
In all honesty, I had a few of her sisters, now being sold by Oohlala. I kept her because she hated me the most.
(Added 31/03) May be I will someday get Soda Meiser and Torns parker back... the second thought... may be not


***Analogman BC108-She has beautiful bottom end.
Very sexy and thick sound with nice smooth skin textured fuzz.
Not so much of satuated/gain. She does not perform many tricks.
I like her volume almost alway up like 95% and fuzz 95%. and I just use my guitar's volume to control her.
((Added 31/03)) when Fuzz control almost al lway up 95-100%. she fuzz gets sparkley. this little ociliation(?) really make fuzz noise bloom.
((Use intenal trimmers and base filter to experiment with its sound. if you like to))



***Fire Red Fuzz-she is very friendly. everybody's fuzz.
Tone control is nice. She is very easy to control,easy to get along with,
but can be vey aggrassive and has planty of Fuzz at higher setting. A bit of modern flavor.
she shines and likes me the best with tone controll over 12'.
A playful cat.


***Fuzzulator--- fuzzdistorion. more into Rat-group?
Loose and tight is nice. groomy sound...
((Added 31/03)) I like the tight setting fuzz allway to get modern feel to it.
I used HBOD to boost this. works well.


***Meathead- sporty and natual
Simple. One knob, No LED.
Silicone fuzz/distortion in high RPM. I got her throttle wide open at the wearhouse,
and I can tell you that she can sing. Natual guitar tone is still there.
At one point, I set her up to 100% and roll of the volume controll down on my guitar...very interesting...
I thought that she's got vintage/Low-fi feel to her. (or is it just me??)
She is very energetic and ready to play.
Not very thick in sound, not fat at all.... sound, a bit too slim - treble boosted like her sister sonik-titan.
She will go good with big sounding dark amp(?).
differnt from MeatheadDLX, I thought.
((Added31/03))I've hard some people talk about it...this thing pick up raido signal.
Is she more touch sensitive than others on the tour?? that make her very dynamic, and sporty but not very forgiving to a slappy player like me. I will get my own Meathead one day.. and I wil try my best to make her happy.


***BenderOverUnder-
I like Bias counterclock side, around 11'. wooly, around fuzz. Almost like bigMuff, but little like rat.?
(Added31/03) I am bit confused about this one. I got to mess with it some more...
I also used HBOD to boost this. and I finally got this pedal to do what I wanted it to do.

Love the reviews JP !!
Yes we are all having fun...
this may be my favorite line yet


I kept her because she hated me the most.

and I know what y9ou mean


Try putting something in front of the Disaster....

I have one of Devis pedals (OK) that was choppy and weird and I set it aside.... and one day I tried it with a drive in front of it and it sang beautifully , completely different pedal............

[cabo]

very cool JP,,,glad your enjoying.

Much thanks to everyone for contributing, and really to Donner for getting it together ,all I did was end up with them first.

take your time in getting more acquainted,
I guess the easiest thing to do when your ready is contact the next person(murkat) direct.

[JP30]

Ahhhaa, Donner is the master mind behind this tourbox thing... ... and you are responsible for my lack of sleep then....
Thank you Donner.

I am going to keep adding notes to my review(?).
I am sure there are no shortage of 9v battries around here in this crowd.
But I got some 9V batteries to contribute to the box. I will just stuff them in the box... just in case we run out of juice...

[Donner]

Well cool and your welcome - Cabo is runing this one tho, and there will be others sooon as there is usualy a good benefit for the participants and readers alike...... and anyone is welcome to start one up - you have to be willing to see it thru and do a little 'wrangling' sometimes

[Donner]

So where we be at y'all ??

[cabo]

not sure exactly,,JP has/had them, and then it was going to Murkat. maybe one of them can give an update

[murkat]

I have not recieved as of yet, but looking forward to it. Planning on having a LiL pedal party with some fellow co worker/ pedal snobs

[JP30]

Sorry guys.
I had it shipped yesterday. Murkat should see them within a couple of days.
It was really fun messing around with them all. I learned a lot.

[murkat]

Big Box waiting for me arriving home from work. I have recieved.
