Hey all,
Looking into pedals now that I think I can finally get the most out of them (cranked my valve amp for the first time in a live room last week... sweet jebus!)
I have a friend who swears by Nine Of Swords, he's had the Tyrant and Twin Earth, and I loved the sound of those when he showed me them at his place a while ago. Just wondered if any of you Fuzz maniacs had ever tried them and what your experience with them was like?
I'm new to Fuzz, so I've not had anything to compare them to, but they are very reasonably priced.

Truly nasty sounding and I mean that as a compliment.
-
:D Yeah that's why my mate likes them, heh. He let me borrow the Tyrant once, but I only had my Pod to put it through which really doesn't work at all. If he were still nearby I'd ask to borrow it again, but he lives on the other side of the country to me these days.

I have no experience with these, but when looked for possible Fuzz pedals to build for a mate of mine who loves nasty and lo fi fuzz I came across Devi Ever Disaster Fuzz, Death by Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun, Death by Audio Harmonic Transformer, Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer and Devi Ever Legends of Fuzz.
I picked these out of a big list of schematics looking for lo fi nastyness and just out of controll crazyness.
I have not yet build any of these though cause enclousures cost money xD
Also great is the Zvex Fuzz Factory, especially if you have someone build a clone for which includes a tonestack (which I think should be post circuit). The stack allows it to even be a mean metal machine when it would normally not work since you can cut the bass. Fuzz is great but usually better for single notes than chords, exept if you cut the bass.

Bargain. I'll tell you now that he ain't making much, if any, money on them!
-
Aye, the prices do seem to be very low. I have to wonder if it's more a labour of love for this guy.
-
Has to be, even doing it on vero and simple circuits I can't see him paying himself much more than £15 per pedal there.
-
I've got to admit the 'satanic fuzz ritual' seems like a lot of fun :lol:
it seems too cheap though, might buy one.
-
You think these sound good? Then you should get one.
-
These look badass. I've ordered the tyrant.

what's it like inside?
-
I don't know how to post pics and I wouldn't know if its good or bad wiring!
This thing has a shed load of output and low end. I'm a little scared/in awe.

Haha! Nice, that's what I like to hear! :D :lol:

I think i want one :)
-
Just took delivery of another Tyrant pedal (for a friends birthday). Quick delivery on this one again!
I think I'm developing a bit of a fuzz GAS though. I am strongly resisting is so far, I know I'll get too carried away...

Oh gawd, look what they've gone and made now:

Such disgusting, gnarly, harrowing sounds!
That's going on my Chrimbo list... :lol:
-
I hate you people. :)
I now ordered a pedal as well from him.
-
Sorry dude, I need to stop visiting that site so much... :lol:
-
I got the coolest looking model that they do... :D
Haven't had any time to really try it yet.

Relating to my other thread re suggestionsfor a fuzz pedal for my strat I contacted John at the fuzz shack/9 of swords and told him what I wanted and he recommended the 3D astro best I just bought one off of e bay. They sound great

Niiiiice! Get some clips if you can, mate, I'd be interested to hear how people are putting these to use! :D
-
To be honest I don't know yet! :D It's my first fuzz pedal ever. It's quite a nasty sound, but it seems to work quite well for soloing over a non-fuzzy rhythm track.
Also I put the Wah before it, and that allows me to do all crazy stuff when it oscillates (second switch engages that).
