NP(edals)Day!

Liverpool Guitar Show + cash in pocket = :D





I read the review of the First Fuzz in Guitarist Magazine, and as I haven't got a decent fuzz I was tempted.  Tried one out and had to have it.  I'm not a massive fuzz guy, but if you're going to have one in the arsenal you get a good one right?  It's a good one  :)

I tried the OD Special just becuase it was there and ended up loving that too, so that's now on my pedalboard replacing three separate stomps (Maxon OD-9, BB Preamp and Guv'nor).  Very versatile, compact and works great into a clean/lightly crunched amp.  Perfect!

awesome! if those pedals are anything like his amps, they kick ass. :)

[Twinfan]

Yep, they're great!  Highly recommended!

[roland_rat]

Very nice,

I was so tempted to go to that guitar show too.  Looks like it saved me some money.

I had plans to demo one of those fuzzes next week! Looks like I had better take some cash!

[JDC]

when was the liverpool guitar show on, I would have gone if I'd known about it! :(

[Twinfan]

Just on Sunday, at Aintree Racecourse

Yep, they're great!  Highly recommended!

Ah, very interested in the fuzz. Give more details when you've lived with it a bit, pls.

[Twinfan]

Will do.  It's a Vintage Fuzz Face replica - Dennis Cornell used to build the old Dallas-Arbiter ones back in the day so he knows them pretty well.  Carbon comp resistors, the correct (and matched) germanium transistors etc.  It sounds proper Hendrix/Wolfmother  :)

I like the look of those :D
Did you try TM Boost, make up the full set?

[Twinfan]

Nah, the TM boost had been sold.  They only had one of each!

I used the Overdrive at rehearsal tonight and it's staying on the board.  It doesn't do very heavy gain that well as it mushes up when you boost the red channel.  However the green, green boosted and red channels sound superb so 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

It's a very natural sounding pedal, and very flexible for different gain levels.  Important for me in my band.  It sounds very fizzy at low amp volumes though - this is one of those rare breed of pedals designed to sound good at gig levels!

[hamfist]

I like the look of those :D

Agreed, stunning - especially the overdrive. I just love that naked metal look (no pun intended).

[Oli]

Mmm, that overdrive looks great! Hopefully somewhere (perhaps vintage and rare) will have it so i can give it a try.

They've been around for a few months now. I reckon more shops will order some since the Guitarist reviews did
their bit for public awareness.
