«  Very good fuzz »

Published on 12/22/12 at 15:21
In analog fuzz MXR, 9V battery or mains (plug-type classic boss so no brainer)
A buffer tcho button (I use it).
Input / Output.

UTILIZATION

It can hardly be simpler.
Volume, Fuzz, adjusted and play.

SOUND QUALITY

The argument "analog" m has attracted MXR has an excellent reputation, despite the lack of compelling audio clips (not really be an idea) I thought after all I have nothing to lose.
At first I was a little disappointed, unconvinced rendering ... It lacks fullness is barely audible ...
Then I emerged, changing scratching (Tele aerodyne), I set the EQ of the amp (ENGL Screamer), initiated the neck pickup (P90) and then ... THE revelation! (This may seem obvious but good!)
A grain to fall, then yes there is no "Tone" but who cares, it seems to me indispensable!
You have to play with the knobs on the amp and the guitar if necessary, personally I prefer a muffled fuzz too acidic (such as the famous dairy of the pub) after up to you!
As for the dosage of fuzz is noticeable as soon gouts.Il qu'enclenché even at low dimension and takes its limit (although spicy!).
Better than a good sole bare foot to engage the effect!

OVERALL OPINION

Used sparingly in my pedalboard (I prefer distos for the group), but will when I play alone at home, so for over a year.
I have tested on the eternal home of Muff EHX, but I wanted a twist (blue LED, some sissies complain intensity loupiote good eh but we will not quibble) and made another.
It's not a given pedal (even secondhand) but I would do this choice yes, we attach more and it is beautiful and robust as it should be!
