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.
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.
This song means everything to me
This takes me back to highschool. Out driving after curfew, going god knows where while jamming this. What a record.
man this band really was something special. That album is up there as one of my all time favorites
great tone bro
thanks very much!!
Nice guitar, man.
2024 still as good as ever
Amen!
Screaming tone! Nice!
thanks very much!
I really like my TS9 in front of my fuzz face with the vibe between them. I searched this video out to see if I was crazy.
i see no reason that wouldn't work! You aint crazy.
That’s some tasty tone and playing dude ❤
thanks very much, dude!
'Promo sm' 😊
MIKE MARA< EJ has his TS tone know all the way turned down to zero?
Sounds great dude! Need to give this a try 🤟
Oh wow, I just was searching exactly this question and you just released this video! Thank you! ❤🎉
thanks for checking it out!
Great video I've been trying to find the tone for gem and I think this is how you do it!
thanks very much! hope this one helps! please do report your findings lol
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.
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.
Thanks so much for uploading. One of my favorite albums, and it has at times been impossible to listen to outside of used CDs.
It’s nice to see Mike D play with them again 😊
Great tones- thanks for sharing!
Miss these guys!
Yeah, I like all those sounds. The drive sound on the Mesa Boogie, though. No wonder they're popular with certain players.
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.
Nice sounds and playing 🤘
Thank you dude!
🤘🏼
Burnout Revenge Game introducing me this Band in 2005
I want this to get back on streaming so bad. Saw these dudes many a time in the Chicago area.
For real, thank you so much. The naughts were such a turbulent time and we had so much to lose lest people like you salvaged some of the magnificent obscurity. God bless, and I'll see you down the road, whomever you are.
Utter brilliance
I'm crying, I wish I could've seen them live, but just to see this reunion makes me happy! Thanks for uploading it!
Looking forward to singing along to this little gem of a tune at Slam Dunk ‘23. A good song always stands the test of time.
I am so, so excited to see them at SD23! I hope the crowd is nuts (probably will be as British crowds are always better ;) )
This is sweet. Hell yeah Mike !
Aaw that's sweet that they had the original lineup back together! Did they only do the one song though? Anyways cool to see this with the intro & all the hugs at the end. Always a very good song :)
Yep, just the one tune, but they got to play it both at the Saturday late night show and Sunday at Riotfest on the big stage.
Tight! I have this record on a IDE hard drive zomewhere. First step, finding that damn album in FLAC. thanks for giving my ears a blast from the past. Such a great record through and through. I was really rooting for this band to make it.
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.
Nothing better then finding an old banger and seeing its one of your homies that uploaded it. Thanks Mara!
Haven’t been able to find a proper version of this album in years and years. Thank you.
Man so glad I found this on here. Used to listen to this album on repeat. Seriously got me through some shit. Props for making some phenomenal music.
currently going thru the shit, always helps me to give the album a few listens after a nice breakdown
Ive been looking for this album for years and years; thank you.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for uploading. This album is no longer on Spotify and my CD is totally annihilated. This made my day!
I just wanna overdose and die to this song.
hey Mike -- long time fan here. Do you have any idea where I can find WOR Exposition album (non-CD) ? I lost my physical copy and all the stuff i had on streaming services disappeared. Thank you in advance
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.
I still have mp3s from like a decade ago not sure where I'd upload them but I would gladly share...wish they would release anything that was left from the last show when they played all new songs
I haven't looked, but I bet there's a torrent out there somewhere with the album on it.
Still so upset this isn't on Spotify
My favorite song. I wish they stayed together
this bassline...
classic.
Do you have this album? I’ve been trying to find it - it’s off of Spotify now
Thank you so so so so so much for uploading this. I used to live my life to this album on repeat
thank you so much for putting this up. i was feeling nostalgic and wanted to listen to this, and it wasn't on spotify anymore. I can't believe these guys really just recorded one fucking amazing album and seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth. this whole album is a masterpiece
This band was my entire highscool carreer. Saw them live twice and still to this day the best shows ive seen. Beat kitchen in 08,07. Chills as i type this. Life dosemt stop yall. Music is a time machine !!! Thank you for posting this. Cant find the album anywhere
I was there as well, i'm pretty sure. I think 1997 opened. Glad to provide the music since it's getting hard to find!
Such a great song
