  • a bit of a no-name partster

  • That guitar is so you!

    I hate it, obvs... ;)

  • Alright kids. Anyone flogging anything surf-friendly? Offset, single coils, trem, what have you? Lower end of the market so Danelectro type stuff is fine.

  • Someone flogging a beautiful jag upthread?

    Played so much today that my hands have gone all weak. So much fun.

  • Although the Zvex Fuzz Factory looks amazing too.

  • Man if i had the cashes... Love the low notes actually shaking the camera on this.

  • Le Board looks great!

    I had the use of a Fuzz Factory for a while. It was cool but I could never find the same settings twice...

    Currently got a PTD Mini-Bone. It does mad spitty tromboney sounds but it's really good for low-gain-fuzz-that-isn't-overdrive if you know what I mean. This vid's a bit fusion-tastic but it gives an idea.

  • Ooh. Ok will check it out. Yeah sorry @Zed but the clone bender, rad as it is, is just too wild for what I want most of the time. It's fun to mess about with but it's hard to find a use for it with what I do. The gain, even rolled all the way off is still crazy squealing hiss and fart with tonnes of really high frequency skronk and it's all a bit out of control in a fizzy nuclear powered distortion pedal kind of way... which is dope, but I need something a little more tameable. More mid-toned with that flat battery ripping velcro vibe. Obvs not going to drop £300 on the fuzz factory 7 but the vexter series ones are about £150 and they look pretty great. I dig the gate function for noiseless filth. Tempted.

  • Do it! I've had a non-vexter FF since about 2001 (massive muse fanboy as a teen) and it gets so much use for band stuff. Going in to a hot amp sounds like the end of the world but you can dial it back and get great crunch that cuts right through live.

  • Is it a MkII clone? Might take that off your hands if you've still got it when I'm over in the summer... ;)

  • ^It is. It's amazing at what it does but it's pretty much out of control at any setting.

  • Only problem with the vexter is it's portrait orientation is going to make it tricky to fit on the board after the Klone... hmmm.

  • Can't really re-arrange the order either as I want the dynamic effects first and i want overdrive into fuzz followed by the time-based ones like delay and reverb. Maybe I could squeeze it in. *orders more right-angled jack leads

  • Sounds perfect... 😀

    ponytails and cellphone belt holsters as far as the eye can see...

    i might go.

  • I was tempted but the incessant clang/twanging of mindless slapping at these kind of events put me off. Plus I went to Bass Gear in Twyford last weekend & spent all my money on a new cab.

    The new offering from Eich Amps look interesting though.

  • why else go if not to spank out a bit of Level 42 on an £11 000 warwick 6 string with a sweet purple stained buckeye burl finish (gold hardware, obvs) to an assemblage of similarly failed middle aged, spreading musos wearing RUSH t-shirts?

  • Ha! Worst. Show. Ever.

    just bought the regular Z-Vex Fuzz Factory.

    somebody stop me spending please

  • Well when you put it like that... Now where did I put my "Bassist do it deeper" T-shirt?

  • Robert Trujillo seems like a really sound guy. He's also fucking abysmal bass player. Perfect fit for the world's shittest rhythm section.

  • lol - they really aren't much cop for arguably the biggest stadium douche rock outfit the world has ever seen.

  • Big thing for Japanese 'Gibsons' here; Greco, Burny, Orville, etc... They go for decent cash, I was aware of them in a small way back in the UK but you can't get away from them here, they are everywhere... Geography, I guess...

    An old mate has been in Brissy promoting his new album and he rocked up with a bolt-on Greco SG... Ewwww...

  • Fuzz factory on it's way. *excited
