overland « The ultimate Fuzz pedal! »
Published on 07/31/13 at 07:44Fuzz Pedal "boutique" fully analog, handmade with love. 1 jack input, 1 output jack, 1 power plug 9 volt regulatory. 4 buttons: volume (General), tone (from bass to treble), fuzz (fuzz amount of injected), texture (grain more or less destroy). 1 true bypass switch. Metal case, rust finish.
UTILIZATION
Ultra easy to use. No manual comes with the pedal, but why? I took 10 minutes at most to find several pretty crazy configurations, making other pedals fuzz / distortion bass that I used previously (RAT, Big Muff) completely tasteless. Testing each knob separately you soon figure out in which direction the Mazzette José Phuzz can go, versatile, whether to a dirty fuzz ultra hatched and not far from the Fuzz Factory Z-Vex (with extra control) or towards a more classic fuzz, which allows both to play well fat agreements with sustain, or perform a solo that comes out nicely in the mix. The switch is located in the perfect place to be able to engage safely without moving the other knobs, and the volume knob, the first of the chain on the right allows me to gently adjust the foot during the game dream, what.
SOUND QUALITY
Precise, powerful, full-bodied and magnitude. This is not a fuzz distortion, beware: if you're looking for something lighter, more mellow, go your way. The José Phuzz has personality while having some versatility (cf.2 use) and within sound of the instruments to which it is coupled. I use both with my Grestch Tennessee Rose (delicate feedback in the low, mid) with my Jazzmaster 1967 (well biting sound sharp, but with the roundness in the bass if I want) via a Fender Bassman amp head in 1966. And José Phuzz sit heat while making power and distinction. And sometimes madness: the texture button is quite interesting to use for it. I put in my effect chain a Tube Screamer just before José Phuzz, which allows me to change the texture of the fuzz during the song.
OVERALL OPINION
She never left my pedalboard since last May, and I use it in almost all my groups (FareWell Poetry, Birds, Storm, The Rise of the Tropics) both in the studio and on stage. A few months at most, but it crashed on arrival set in my other pedals that I tested so far for this type of rendering (RAT Turbo Rat, Big Muff, Fuzz Factory, etc.).
A nice little anecdote: I bought this pedal during a recent tour of one of my groups, The Rise of the tropics. We gave a concert in Montpellier at the Black Sheep and sound engineer of the place was none other than Tree, one of the two bosses Mazzette (the nice little box that manufactures, among other things, José Phuzz). Crank shaft seeing our overflow finds more or less old, and gear invade the scene of Black Sheep, brought us just before the scales selected Mazzette pedals, among whom were the Robert Drive, the Testikular and José Phuzz. Having chosen José Phuzz and having the whole concert with Trippe (because José Phuzz it also smashes a keyboard or a theremin), Tree asked me to continue the test during the tour. It was a rather special model, one of the prototypes. The deal was this: I like it and I bought it from my back (I could keep it or ask for one brand new), I'm not attracted to him and I return by mail. Attitude could not be more friendly and attentive musician seeking her and demanding. Obviously, I continued to use the rest of the tour, proudly releasing the poor of my competitors pedals. And bought it on my return. Mazzette thank you!
It's rare that I'm so ecstatic about the material. But I was looking for too long a fuzz character like this, which makes you what you give him, which easily leads you to the inventiveness, etc..
For 180E in addition, a sum but if the job can imagine handmade / excellent components back and compare it to the price of its competitors "boutique", and although there is no photo. Housing and rust finish ... Yum.
And support Mazzette: passionate people who work with love from their stronghold in Montpellier you just hast sound, man.
