Published on 12/27/11 at 05:59So Sir, we have here a fuzz pedal for bass and guitar with a 4 knobs (texture, Fuzz, tone, volume), a true-bypass switch, an input and an output jack format, and an input for a power supply. The whole stands on a box in the format of two packets of cigarettes appears to have been carved from a piece of sheet metal of the Chernobyl reactor. Ah yes, there is also a small red LED. And knobs are Bonnard.
The pedal is analog to the old. It is mounted and wired by hand by bassist Nico is in a group of stoner ... Luckily, it's the style I play.
Here! No USB connection, no modeling, no bad components, ... is built for rock 'n roll. And that's exactly what I needed. The construction is solid is serious.
UTILIZATION
Setup is simple and clear. The four knobs work well on the sound and are intuitive. The fuzz controls the degree of saturation, tone can go from serious Kyussesque to his acute, the volume manages ... the volume. The fourth knob called "texture" of his acts on the fuzz. We find the sound you want quickly and easily can be corrected according to his amp or pedalboard. There is no manual, Nico responds readily to questions.
Note that this is an analog pedal, there is no fuzz 15 emulations. There is a warm and powerful fuzz that can be modulated. If you like, it's great, if not love, well you have to change the pedal. Given the incredible plethora of fuzz pedals, it's hard to come across that we need.
I put 10 because it's the sound I was looking for with simple effective adjustment options. To me it's perfect, and I'm a fan of analog circuits.
SOUND QUALITY
I have owned more fuzz and I even installed it myself. I spent hours watching videos of fuzz bass on the Internet. I never found anything I liked. Even Whooly Mammoth Zvex did not convince me at all. Finally I was listening to the samples at Mazzetti and have already ordered a pedal home, I knew it was good stuff. I found exactly the sound I was looking for. The Phuzz Jose does not cut the bass signal while adding harmonics that do not drown the base signal. The sound is organic without becoming too synth. The sound is powerful and hot ... aggressive and well. I use it with low ATK and I tested with a SansAmp Bass Driver Tech 21. I found only sounds that can be exploited to the stoner doom to the hardcore punk. All other pedals were messy and made notes almost inaudible, or made a sound that misrepresented the base signal.
OVERALL OPINION
The Phuzz Jose is exactly what I wanted. Unlike most of its competitors, it's a fuzz exploitable. I have tried many other models and I was always disappointed. It retains the characteristic of a bass and an amp while the fuzzer doing badly. I should make that choice much earlier. 180 ro-ros for a pedal mounted hand with a unique finish and a perfect sound, it's a very good deal. It complements my pedalboard with my ever-present Lowdriver of the same brand.
