I just wanted to say it’s not an amp chip it’s operational amplifier (OP amp), cool thing. Maybe add a button on wires, strap it to your hand and that’s what turns on the distortion
I had this little amp boost module called an LP-1 by electro harmonix or some other outfit but it was night and day, night being normal, and day being now your amp is a marshall stack. really a small signal boost with some distortion but it was mid-70s and to get distortion you had to buy a big muff.
There already was guitars with built in effects carts they made a ton of modules if I had enough money there's a kay version in Seattle for sale just finding the effects carts is hard as hell
But what is going to chew through all my 9 v batteries so they are empty when they get thrown in the ocean for turtles to eat without pedals to empty the batteries first the turtles will get zapped and if i dont need pedals anymore whats the point in playing electric guitar half the fun is stomping on pedals
Made a whole video about LM386 distortion/fuzz and doesn't even show how it's done. For those who are wondering, it's just a LM386 mono amplifier board you can buy for less than a dollar. It already has screw and pin terminals. You can also use 2 of those in parallel like in this video. A 3pdt toggle switch for bypass. You can also experiment with clipping diodes. The board also have a trim pot that you can desolder and replace with a big pot to control output.
Honestly no.. I would not buy it.. mostly because I don’t really buy anything.. but also because a pedal, on its own has and demands so much control.. a guitar with effects seems to confusing, and if it’s not, it won’t hit the depths I need.. but if it does I can’t decide what pickup I want to use.. but if I can.. it may be too confusing, how many effects are we talking about? Just one.. I’d probably just mod my own guitar to do that.. which I didn’t do the way you did.. 😢🤦♂️❤️🤘
Man this is so cool. I use those lm386 boards to make pedals. Seeing this make me wanna put all the weird stuff I use to make pedals in guitars. When I bought the lm386 boards I actually bought another different lm386 with a pot on that isn't a tiny trim pot. I also bought these pt2399 echo boards and isd1820 stuff. Why stop at lm386 fuzz my brometheus. Add a slap back and looper lol. My channel as me making stuff with all of them. Also I guess I could just check your socials and pitch ideas you might not read lol.
Excellent video and love the long form content! Also if Josh is Tony Stark, you’re Peter Parker! Cause Tony gives him a high tech spider suit (I.e Guitar).
Dude this is epic also loving these non-short videos
Same man
Same
100% agree
My god Mikey keep it up with these long videos, they are amazing compared to short time content
The Steve Lacy signature Strat that just came out has a fuzz circuit built in.
Dude loving the longer videos. Keep em up Mikey 🤘
DS-1 and fuzz at the same time was insane!
I just wanted to say it’s not an amp chip it’s operational amplifier (OP amp), cool thing. Maybe add a button on wires, strap it to your hand and that’s what turns on the distortion
Yes Mikey - sending you love from the Uk. Love these full length videos
This could be a great way to both be able to use a vintage fuzz and be able to be wireless.
I love these longer videos Mikey
Since you uploaded that short i've been starving for a video about that guitar, thank you so much!
Nice Magic Sam sticker on the Marshall! His version of Sweet Home Chicago is fabulous!
there was a soviet guitar “EG solo 2” also known as “Formanta” with fuzz,flanger inside
GOT THE JOKES THE LOOKS THE IDEAS THE EXPERINCE OF GUIAR JUST PERFECT FOR LONG VIDEOS
I took that GVF joke personally
Not quite the most face melting fuzz yet, but I’d totally buy this. Keep us updated if Mk 3 comes out!
Not to brag but my guitar doesn’t need any pedals or amps in order to play (I only have an Acoustic)
I tell you... ur missing something. But also get something
i sold my electric too😂
I liked wen you played green river in the background
loving the new long vids man keep up the great work
Very cool and unique piece.
Love it! 😎
Smells like teen spirit actually sounds good without distortion, as can be heard in the intro of the original song...😊
Well yeah, but the song wouldn’t hit as hard. It works for the intro, not the entire thing
Totally missed chance to play a fuzzy slide in the end
Fender had a baritone jaguar with a fuzz in it that was only sold in japan
Rogue Rocketeers are so underrated, they are perfect mod platforms that don’t get the love they should, Ty for ya service bruv
If you wanted to scale this, you''d need to do it as a pre-fabbed pickguard kit

It’s not needing gain to sound good, it’s needing gain to make the song recorded with gain sound good
Dude I did this with a cs giddy psycho box years ago it's just a knob that can give you like four levels of gain it works great cost me like 30$
Very nice
Love the long-form content Mikey!

Next video: a boss metal zone in a Less Paul
Love the long videos, you should do more of these plus lesson videos or even a course
Can we get a tutorial on the jimi Hendrix smells like teen spirit you played pls?
This man really just dissed GVF
Saw the short and was hoping for a video on it!
Please more long videos.
3:56 Yes, I would 100% buy one, name your price
Mikey i saw that firefly white and red guitar with roses on it, tell me does it play good?
great video
I spy🕵a Jimi Hendrix psychedelic guitar🎸 !!!
Alexi laiho had something simillar in his guitars he had a boost pedal circuit inside his guitars
kurt cobain would probably want this
Eric clapton strat be like : 😴😴😴😴
Any change for a wiring diagram?
These longer videos are way better
Jimi stark
Please do l'amour impitoyable
Question Does anyone know what model His white Straticasters
Dude, r u selling this?
You must play ccr
8:39
Hahaha me encantó la broma de Greta van fleet
Yeah, shorts are "ok" But videos its what makes me pay for YTP (I don't pay Netflix or those services)
Paul McCrtney has a Hoffner bass similar to this his has I think a fuzz pedal in it though
love these videos, just too much nirvana and hendrix
Best guitar RUclipsr?
gugu
ACTUALLY the intro to smells like teen spirit is played clean for two bars, but its okay your just a child
just get a fender mustang
First
5th
Sounds bad tho
But what is going to chew through all my 9 v batteries so they are empty when they get thrown in the ocean for turtles to eat without pedals to empty the batteries first the turtles will get zapped and if i dont need pedals anymore whats the point in playing electric guitar half the fun is stomping on pedals
whats going on in your head man
The longer videos are so good
Electra Guitars
Had Effect modules to switch in and out
The Mark 1 was actually what the guy from Devo does live

How do you wire the on off switch?
How do i make it sound like a maestro fz-1 thats my favorite fuzz
Great video, and its great to tinker around.
I love the longer videos, keep it up!
8:10 sounded so cool man
Thats to much fucking trebel
This reminds me of Tom morello custom ibeneaz artstar with inbuilt pedals
Mikey can you do some vids on Eddie Van halen
Check manson guitars with the fuzz factory and several other addon options. This is not really new territory, but nice work!
to switch from clean to drive the foot is best way to hit a drive pedal or channel switch of your amp. why get only one drive tone? sorry, not for me.
Honestly no.. I would not buy it.. mostly because I don’t really buy anything.. but also because a pedal, on its own has and demands so much control.. a guitar with effects seems to confusing, and if it’s not, it won’t hit the depths I need.. but if it does I can’t decide what pickup I want to use.. but if I can.. it may be too confusing, how many effects are we talking about?

make more youtube videos

Well Steve Lacy’s signature strat has a fuzz circuit in it, and it sounds like a bit crusher. This is better
Absolutely fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤😊 also stay safe

hi mikey
What if there was a knob for distortion on ur guitar
It's great for sure!!!
