Late submission for #fuzzfriday, a killer Fuzz Face by Caio at @purplenoisefx. Low gain NKT212, great balance and clean up, just enough gain when you dig in to get aggressive without much sag. Board friendly enclosure and LED, with a battery off toggle. This one replaced a couple others in the grab bag, and I’m already on the list for a Silicon build. Great stuff Caio! #purplenoisefx #fuzzface #germaniumfuzz #fuzzpedalsofinstagram
September Sound Mini Fuzz J Prototype. Violet Rams Head… expanded. Having all the controls right on top makes it easy to visualize as you make changes and go deeper into the range of sounds more quickly. Ge, boost, dialed in this pedal is a very cool take on the Violet era with some surprising ways to use the mid scoop and gain in the base circuit. @september_sound #septembersound #bigmuff #ramshead #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #madinjapan #maythefuzzbewithyou
September Sound The 47. Rams Head era circuit, with component values replicating a specific window in Big Muff history. Did not expect elements of a MKI gain in decay and breakup, but they are clearly there. Huge low end, the attack isn’t immediate but the weight is there. Great build. @september_sound #maythefuzzbewithyou #madinjapan #bigmuff #bigmuffpi #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #septembersound
Capricious Red Wine by @september_sound . Characteristic mid scoop in the baseline sounds, throws a lot of low-mid weight around, not over the top but enough gain to make your point and with some experimenting across the clipping options you can create and entire palette of interesting harmonic movement in the sustain and decay. #septembersound #maythefuzzbewithyou #fuzzfriday #ilovefuzz #bigmuffpi #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #guitarpedals #madinjapan
Late post for #fuzzfriday. Hard not to get carried away with this pair on deck. The @september_sound Lilas, the gateway drug for me with Tate-san’s work. You can blame @sovtekfuzz for everything that came after. The Mini Fuzz Neo Classic… so much power in that smaller enclosure. #maythefuzzbewithyou #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #ilovefuzz #bigmuffpi #gearybusey #septembersound #madinjapan
The Organic Sounds Zorga Machine. Bright, gated, unpredictable, sharp attack and quick decay. This is not your ‘friendly modern blues Zonk’. An absolute blast to play that invites you to lean into the noise. Another great instrument by Yusuke-san. @organicsounds_custompedals #zorgamachine #zonk #zonkmachine #johnhornsbyskewes #fuzz #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #gearybusey #pedaloftheday
We’re definitely not in Kansas anymore. September Sound Propaganda Fuzz ‘pre production model’. Baseline Russian Muff sounds are incredible, great saturation and gain but maintaining absolutely clarity across chords. Dial back the gain and switch up the clipping diodes, find yourself with an almost phasing effect inside the sag and sustain of single notes. @september_sound #septembersound #madinjapan #russianbigmuff #maythefuzzbewithyou #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #pedaloftheday
Everybody has their No. 1. #telecaster #guitarsofinstagram #bareknucklepickups #lollarpickups
September Sound Golden Triangle. The quality of the build and the range of tones Tate-san brings out these circuits is unbelievable. The instruction sheet should be titled ‘Choose your own adventure’. @september_sound #maythefuzzbewithyou #septembersound #trianglebigmuff #fuzzpedal #bigmuff #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #ilovefuzz #fuzzyeah #pedaloftheday
Among the highlights of 2021 was the new work coming out of @monolithfuzz . Mike is killing it over in the Pacific Northwest, with some of the best enclosure work and pure craftsmanship around right now. Not to mention killer circuits.
After years of being absolutely confident I did not like SG’s, this showed up at the local shop a few months back. It took one look and about 15 minutes of being plugged in to completely change my mind. Now to take a few measurements and see what I can do to try my hand at one sometime. #personalgrowth #guitarsofinstagram #gibsonsg #gibsonguitars #gibsoncustom
I never quite got the hang of stand alone boost circuits, and then these stumbled into the mix and now I have no idea what I was thinking all those years. Absolute game changers in the shape of overall tone and attack, when placed carefully can drive a fuzz into new harmonic ranges, highlight octaves and implied chords and generally make things better. Don’t be like me, don’t wait to get a boost into your life. #differentialaudiomanifestationz #pigdogpedals #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #treblebooster
Preach, Jimmy. #ledzeppelin #bookstagram
I’ve never had the opportunity to play a vintage Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar… but having now had a run with the @roshi_pedals ELF and @earthquakerdev Hizumitas, I’m not sure I need to. Great builds with slight differences in the focus points… the ELF can feel more powerful with slightly more weight in the low mids and bottom, where the Hizumitas has a great edge to the mids and keeps the low end tidy to help shine in a mix. #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #roshipedals #elksuperfuzzsustainar #boris #wata #bigmuffpedal
Feeling cute might delete later.
Aggressive mids, tight low end, smooth in the sustain and a bit of crackle in the decay… artifacts lingering. Just a blast to play. Yusuke-san, as always, delivers an inspiring build. @organicsounds_custompedals #voxtonebender #tonebendermkii #fuzzpedalsofinstagram #organicsounds
