Published on 12/07/13 at 04:17- It is a clone of the Fuzz Face Silicon assemble or yourself.
- No way to edit anything, if you want to change something, then it is better to open a book on electronics!
- Technology silicon transistors (its more modern than germanium, but still vintage!)
- One input, one output and a connection for an adapter.
For me it is good. This is a pedal to vintage settings, and this is probably what we want when we buy this model. If we wanted more, so we would have bought something else
UTILIZATION
The settings are ultra simple: volume and gain (we welded, screwed, and is itself set as I recall!). However, the sensitivity is such that each adjustment knobs pedal via the gain from April to August! I still want to clarify that it was my first montage and my volume knob does not work normally, and I can not get a decent sound only when it is above 8 but the sound changes dramatically when it is between 8 and 10 turns, in the manner of a tone ... and a volume of course. So I do not touch it.
There is also a mini internal knob fixed to the printed circuit board which can be rotated with a screwdriver. This is the bias that could result in tilt ',' tendency '. Not very clear I grant you. In practice, it changes the "type fuzz" you get. More one leans to one side, the sound is tight, loaded in compression and short sustain. On the other side, the more plump and loaded bass / medium sound, sustain longer. It's very cool, but it does not change mid-set, and even less in the middle of a song, then it will connect the belly open and play in keeping the screwdriver handy to change and find its we love!
SOUND QUALITY
Here we go!
Whether mounted to perfection (like fuzz face made by Dallas Arbiter) or approximate (like mine), there is always two silicon transistors, and THE sound is there. It's burning, metal and uncontrollable! If you have a volume knob on the guitar performer, then you can even pass a clean a bit tinny, then an overdrive which seems to come from a defect in the speaker (like Buffalo Springfield for those who know) for finish on the timeless fuzz for half a century!
This is a very sensitive effect any change at all depending on the settings, the gear and the style of play I am super fan, and I do not get tired!
Unfortunately, the clear sound of the bypass (true bypass if there is) is not one of my Vox AC15. Surely another assembly problem, I'll have to adjust to the faster in a professional and everything will be perfect!
OVERALL OPINION
I enjoyed building pedal MA, and old style boutique tube amps of the 60's knobs gives a good cum!
The fuzz sound is great, but as said above, I will have it serviced ... I'm still very happy with what I finally managed to do it!
With experience, I would choose another clone: yes, there is a twenty clones of the most famous saturations. I would probably choose the Tone Bender MK2 that has always fascinated me!
I recommend it to those who want to try the pedal assembly, it is easier to mount (with Face Germanium) and the sound is fabulous! To hell j'vous said!
