Incredible, literally two days ago I was googling around "how does an octave fuzz work," and even though the explanation is rather straightforward (just take the abs of the signal and remove the offset), the videos weren't in-depth, so I was thinking to myself, "I wish CSGuitars made an episode about octave fuzzes." The way you connect the theory, the technical demonstration with the oscilloscope and the frequency profile, and the applications (like why the upper octave may misbehave and how to make the best of it, and why single coils are better because pickups are "in the circuit"), is unparalleled.
These signal analyses are exactly what I want to see more.. I should buy an oscilloscope myself (I have a chinese one I out together myself but it is not great to day the least :D)
Now that's an enclosure!
Even if it's only a metal wedge I love the engraved that they did with the artwork
It's an incredibly simple, yet classy enclosure - that's enough to make it more appealing than many other effects.
The circuit board inside is printed and shaped to the same design.
It's nice to see this level of attention to branding.
I want a stained glass window like that! 😵💫
I can't put my finger on what it exactly is, but i somehow like the sound of a fuzz way more than a regular distortion. Maybe it's that brokenness or that hint of chaos it imparts on the sound.
Well... whatever it is... Your demos were pure eargasms. :D
Same here. The grittiness is just the best.
it deffo has its place. haha. fuzz is love.... fuzz is life.
The best sound for fuzz is when it sounds like the amp is about to blow up in and 80s action movie ball of fire. Love it!
The out of sync scanlines during the track was a nice touch. I really enjoyed the wammy madness during the red strat sound sample. It's right up there with the tone of those p90s that you wound. It sounded really pretty.
What a pun on gaining appreciation :-D
My dad humour sensors went crazy on that one xD
I didn't know about single coils sounding better than humbuckers with fuzz. That's probably why I thought I didn't like fuzz lol
Try it again with a Strat into a slightly overdriven amp and you'll probably have a whole different experience.
p90s and fuzz is a super magical combo. i hated fuzz until i plugged in a tele with a p90 into a cranked tube amp. it’s a super knarly doomy sound
Just my two cents, but I think using a neck single coil or P90 with the volume slightly rolled off into a fuzz is one of the best sounds.
there's also taste of course. I love my humbuckers with fuzz, specially when talking Muffs or FZ-2, but I do recommend trying singles with it.
And neck positions single is best for fuzz.
Hi Colin, could you do a TATA on low impedance pickups, like those found in Les Paul recording etc. I know it’s a bit of a niche but there isn’t much out there about how they differ from “normal” pickups, and the circuit requirements to get the signal to where it can be used through a normal set up. Cheers. I’ve spent most ( since 1987!) of my adult life working in the professional music industry, from being a touring roadie, mainly a back line tech, but I’ve done everything from rigging and lighting to tour manager etc. I’ve also been a musician, I hesitate to say pro, but I made all of my income from it, I’m just not that good, to working in a luthiers workshop to having my own business making violins these days. I’ve got to say, your channel is the best single source of reliable information for anyone who wants to understand their guitar gear. No stupid old wives tales, no daft “Tonewood” arguments etc etc. Well done, keep it up.
The seminal Seattle band, Mudhoney, was my first introduction to the world of Fuzz, and in their world it was cranked. I think Steve is currently using a Fuzz War and maybe Mark has the same Superfuzz he had in 1988.
Anyway, when I bought my first Big Muff at around 14, when I was a vastly less-experienced player with as well-trained an ear, I immediately intuited that single coils were better with the pedal than humbuckers. So, thanks for the confirmation!
Damn Colin you are getting way better at bass. Keep killing it friend!
I just love how dirty and gross fuzzes sound and I HAD to click on this video to watch and listen to your mix.
Fuzzrocious brand sounds like your style. I tried and sold the croak fuzz because I didn’t like the envelope filter. He is all about dirty fuzz with bass.
That nugget about lead lines being mixed to a lower level but standing out because they occupy a frequency space that was empty before was a game changer. Totally changed the way I thought about occupying a space in the mix.
I like the line of offset pixels filter. It fits with the brokeness of the fuzz
The scope view is excellent
Thanks for explaining where things sit in the mix
i absolutely love the crushed and dying sound of humbuckers into fuzz. i put fuzz after reverb too
Some great 70s style playing, which is probably the quintessential fuzz use.
Adding the bias the my fuzz face build made it tons better. It'll do the gated fuzz EASY now. I'd say it's one of my more useful pedals right now.
Eloquent and accurate explanation!
Such a kickass pedal! Great video, man
oh god colin that sonic blue p90 start you build looks amazing
Looks so cool I was hoping it would sound better than that
so good
The odd harmonics of an overdrive pedal would disappear with octave fuzz, change to square?
Playing in pos 2 lately between humbucker and single coil, like a P90 sound. Tone on 10, and volume variations 9 or 10. Though for a humbucker I would do volume at 1 and increase amp volume.
So this is why I've always preferred Telecasters with Fuzz. And knowing is half the battle.
Your vids have helped me and my tone journey and these vids definitely help .... thanks and killer vid
I might have to add this Fuzz-pedal to my collection..
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Colin! Love your stuff! I have a Too Afraid To Ask. Treble boosters. What do they do? How do they work? Do I need one?
god i love this channel
Back in college I took a course called The Physics of Music. It sounded awesome and should have been but the teacher had no personality nor creativity. We even had access to an anechoic chamber on campus which was the only exciting thing we ever did. Watching this video reminded me of how cool that course should have been.
That wasn't William Bennett's course, was it?
@@VIDS2013 I’m not sure. It was at CSUS (Sacramento State). He was the only one there that taught it.
@@VIDS2013 my comment was pretty harsh so if you knew him I apologize. There were only 6 of maybe 30 of us left at the end of that class. 😬
@@michaelsnydermusic No, William Bennett was at Yale. He was the inventor of the gas laser--a brilliant man. He also taught a course called The Physics of Music, but I'm sure it wasn't that uncommon.
@@VIDS2013 When I took it in 2000 it wasn’t very common. In fact, our prof wrote the text book which in our case was bad since he had zero personality and could only explain things in his monotone way. Hopefully the course is more widespread now as the subject has so much utility from studio engineers to speaker designers to the average curious home recording musician.
Mr. CS... Could you please tell me how do you get the sound into the oscilloscope? I would have to order one to get one to look at and figure it out, and I am afraid to spend $1K or more on something that I cannot get sound into easily. Ideally, it would be 1/4" guitar jack direct in, but if other kinds of cables or a microphone are needed, it would be good to know. Thanks.
Textured enclosure is very nice detail to go with the Beetronic theme and the pedals sound. Wasp's are nasty ... but I wonder what Beetronic would be inspired to build with a name like "Deer Fly"
I done a big old like. Thank you Mr Colin.
This pedal's circuit and sound seems like a Fairfield Circuitry's Unpleasant Surprise in a prettier package (and with less of a Big Muff vibe).
I never knew a fuzz could sound so pleasant
You should do a comparison with the vezzpa vs the royal jelly
I'm seeing a line go up the picture during the first bit of playing around 7:45 & It repeats about every 3 seconds? Anybody else seeing it?
Yes, everyone is seeing it. It's quite deliberate.
There is also lens distortion, noise and desaturation happening during the track.
Aesthetic choice, think old TV screens. I stopped short of the chromatic aberrations this time
Collins'a BEAST ON BASS TOO !!!!!!
Is it the Donner bass ?
Eric Johnson had an amazing fuzz tone
Think I need to dig out my big muff and my Tele (seeing as I need single coils!).
Does this (and the octa-hive also) need to be free of any buffered signals like other vintage style fuzzes?
I love how the designs on the beetronics stuff looks like stained glass
Wowwwwwaaa yeaaah
Technology aside, this pedal is a real looker. I'd own one for the style alone
So of the octave up effect is achieved by flipping the negative side of the waveform, is there a similarly simple way to get an octave down effect?
you´ll need at least on more Logic stage to subdivide the frequency (cmos counters, flip flops). Without it, you can get some instable textures of octave down (fuzz factory and some opamp Comparator with hysteresis could play with these)
I got into octa fuzz through a Behringer Super Fuzz, sounds massive in a mix, can't hear it in a band though.
Shame really, sounds absolutely brutal.
@@Ndlanding Yeah the boost is great, it's big, loud and fat.
The Hendrix sound... 😎
What exactly is impedance, I head many people explain it but I still don't know. If anyone can explain it properly Colin , it would be your 👍
🤘Fuzz rules🤘
I almost swatted my computer screen when I saw that wasp lol
Fuzz pedals are fuzzy fun
It sounds like he says "Fuzzies" every time 🤣🙏
Purple Burglar Alarm.
Hey Colin, what is the difference between a guitar amp and a bass amp? What makes it 1 or the other?
It's mostly just the frequency response being more geared towards one or the other and if it's a combo amp then the speaker is made to handle bass frequencies better since the low frequencies of a bass have the protentional damage a guitar speaker at high volumes but high frequencies of a guitar can't damage a bass speaker. They are interchangeable though and you can use either. In fact, bass amps are often used by guitarists to the point that the Bassman which was originally a bass amp became used almost exclusively by guitarists.
WARNING Fuzz pedal addiction is a real thing. I own 20 of them and currently seeking help.
As in seeking donations to buy more??
@@jeroenrl1438 Nah, I've recovered. But thanks!
Honestly I find that fuzzes pair much better with bass than with guitars.
Especially if you run it into an overdrive after the fuzz.
Yeh, very true. I've always found that... Most fuzzs sound like crap with guitars, you need a amp that takes pedals REALLY well to get a decent sound with a guitar and fuzz pedal. It's so rare, most fuzzs I've tried sound awful with most of my amps.
Woo! In there like swimwear!
A Guitar Farting pedal !

colin is excellent for factual information, but very bad for subjective opinions.
