Well that was fun. Fitted up the board with new patch leads so no moar crackles. Fuzz Factory is rad. Played for three hours straights. Whoda thunk you could get so many weird sounds out of one pedal? Spitty velcro lo-filth, full on face ripping fizz and weird feedback oscillations. It's pretty mental.
A few reviews claim that it's totally unusable live but the gate, compression and stability knobs can all be juggled to to create a total noise suppression thing that means you can cut off all extraneous skonk. If you crank all three, hardly any signal squeaks through the gate and you end up with an odd synthy 8 bit sounding thing.
One thing I do wish I had though was a switch that recreated the guitar tone being rolled all the way off. I play a tele and I like quite a bit of high end in my clean and drive sounds, but when you fuzz the living shit out of it I always want to roll the tone right off to lose the fizz and get that honky nasal sustainy fuzz thing. Which is fine to do manually on the guitar but I always forget i've done it end up getting caught out when i click back to clean and find i'm all muffled and treble-less.
Is there a fuzz out there with a "tone off" switch which recreates the guitar tone roll-off. Or does anyone know of anyone in London who could shoehorn such a device into an existing pedal?
