Was playing a juicer at my local guitar shop the other day and, damn, it sounds great through a clean amp as well. I'm strongly considering grabbing one to replace my MXR Distortion III (which I basically use as an overdrive by turning the gain all the way down)!

The Danelectro Black Licorice is pretty disgusting. I actually wouldn't recommend it to anyone... ever.

Wow, EHX went from one of my favorite effects companies to wtf... A few years ago they were releasing innovative pedals like the HOG and now they're just doing a ton of different overdrives?

Whatever...

Anyone else like to just beat the shit out of their strings with a hard attack during leads?

Sometimes I think this lends itself to a great sound - very punchy.

So this isnt a Jim Dunlop one? Here's a shootout of the dunlop models (alas i know jackshit about fuzzfaces)
It is not. It was supposedly made in limited quality by one of the original parties involved with the original fuzz face... hand-wired and such.

Unfortunately, the listing for this was ...

Vintage Guitar - Arbiter Fuzz Face Reissue

Found this. Apparently this write-up was originally written up in 1997, so the pedal may be a bit older than expected. Seems like everyone has good things to say about it though I can't find a ton of concrete information.

Anyone know any details on this (apparently) limited edition reissue of the Fuzz Face by Arbiter England. I believe they were released in the early 2000s. The housing is grey.

Just how limited are they? I may have an opportunity to get one ...

Hey S. Thompson, if he's not interested, I'll buy it off ya for $60.
Don't hold back on my account - go for it. :) I've had guitar gear shipped from the US before, but by the time Arselfarce had done their delivery delays and ransom fees with Customs I wished I hadn't bothered. It's more trouble ...

I have a broken one I'm trying to get rid of for teh cheap (~$60). I emailed the guy at Shotgunn mods and he said he would estimate 100$ to fix it. $160 for a modified 90's era micro synth is still fairly cheap.

It's a 90's big box one that has been modded to be a bass micro synth and have a two ...

I swear I do not have paid endorsements for either MXR or Electro Harmonix. I just like their stuff.

I'm trying out Kickstarter to fund the mastering of my recently mixed album.

Take a look at the extra cheesiness of the video.

I actually liked using the DS-1 for bass before... for guitar, nope.

Before! I like driving my distortion/fuzz into nasty territory with the boost!

Devi Ever Disaster Fuzz... think it may be out of production though.

I went from a 100$ solid state no name amp to a '65 Twin Reverb reissue a few years ago.

Pretty big jump...

I think that's about the extent of my ballsy gear-purchasing moves.

So I'm having an issue with my micro synthesizer where it only picks up super loud notes and they aren't sustaining at all.

I know one of the trimpots handles "decay" and another handles gain, but what would be affecting the sensitivity?

- Steve

I like the puppy pedal!

- Steve

YES!

My wife and I just built this last week... mostly her.

Not a Gorm board exactly... but check the handle.

Oops, misread your first post about NOT caring if it colors your tone.

My bad.
