Tube Screamer BEFORE Fuzz Face? - EJ’s Psychedelic Fuzz Sound
Face Face circuits, Germanium vs Silicon - what’s the difference, really?
Просмотров 162Год назад
Ultimately, this video is just me comparing an OTB Custom Fuzz and Solid Gold FX If 6 Was 9, which in my opinion are great examples of Germanium and Silicon Fuzz Face circuit pedals. The controls on a Fuzzface are a bit tricky, and even though Ge and Si transistors have quite different sounds, there are through lines since the circuit functions the same way. In my opinion, this is generally how...

    Bought their album back around 2008 after hearing a single song! Epic stuff!

    In my experience, putting OD before fuzz tightens up the sound, but as a result it starts to sound more like a distortion pedal than a fuzz. By contrast, putting drive after fuzz mimics running a fuzz into an already driven amp, and it smooths out the raspiness of the fuzz and makes it sound more what I think fuzz should sound like.

    • @MikeMara
      @MikeMara 2 месяца назад

      I would agree, and that's essentially what's happenng here--a fuzz pedal, an overdrive in front to shape it, and instead of a driven amp, i used that yellow overdrive pedal. It's just a somewhat odd combination with unconventional knob settings.

    When I build fuzz faces I concentrate all my electrical sorcery on the clean tone with the pedal volume as close to dimed as it can be. Always going for the best SSS Strat/ Tele clean. Then what may for the fuzz part. Often the interior twiddling and transistor choosing is guitar dependent so if somebody wants me to make them one they have to hand over their instrument. Sometimes their guitar treble bleeds have to go on a switch. FFs really are the best boost pedals ever for single coils.

    • @MikeMara
      @MikeMara Год назад

      I appreciate the input especially if youve got experience building Fuzz face circuits! I think a lot of people dime the volume on the pedal-- and i've heard that many people struggle with them not being loud enough. With my GE fuzz, I like to have it adding just a little bit of loudness while cleaned up, (and hopefully that way, the lead tone will have plenty of heft as well.) But, also, with this setup, cranking the volume all the way up causes a lot more feedback to deal with. It's been a delicate balance.

    Yeah, I like all those sounds. The drive sound on the Mesa Boogie, though. No wonder they're popular with certain players.

    • @MikeMara
      @MikeMara Год назад

      Thanks very much! I agree, Mesa Boogie really knows how to design a drive channel--the high gain mode is even more dark and typical for heavier sounds. The Fillmore is kinda like, Mesa made a super nice Fender-y amp, but made sure to include some of their signature drive sounds.

    Ever since they took this down on Spotify I've been craving it more and more. Saw these guys wayyyyy back in 2005 I believe it was. In an old abandoned church, middle of nowhere Indiana. I was floored. To this day, I am still floored. This is an album so close and dear to me, I never show anyone. Words can't even begin to explain what these songs have got me through, and I need them now more than ever. I will reform to what I was. And come back whole again.

      Man, unfortunately i'm not sure. One way to get the files saved would be to use a RUclips downloader website and use the tracks that I put up. Other than that, i think somehow Amazon has the old CD for sale.
