Mike's Pedal Thread

Whats this one? Opamp????? whaaaa????? First thought was a meathead but those dont use opamps
whatever it is, i'd love to have a go at it/halfass attempt at a demo. shipping across the way doesn't justify any of that though.

'tis my updated riff on the old 70s IC Muff Fuzz. It sounds fucking thick as BALLS.

This gives you a rough idea of what it sounds like

I've had a duke around the website. What's the story with the Ram's Head Muff? No details on the site, like.

Slap me with anything you want demoed, mate- I relish the opportunity! We'll have to go for that drink soon, maybe we can pass stuff around then.

+2 for MBM demo-ness. i like the idea of the one knob fuzz.

Post by **Mike** » Wed Oct 06, 2010 7:58 am

Yeah I'll pass the pedal off to Doog first and then he can mail it round to Proggie and Hurb and we'll get all the videos up on my madebymikepedals youtube which looks SHITE at the moment as I'm a lazy boy.

Stewart and Gavin were playing it drunkenly after DO YOU READY? and I think they quite liked it.

Yeah, i remember playing it but struggling with impaired motor functions. It's a cool little pedal.

That Shaftsbury Duo Fuzz and the small enclosure FF both look incredible.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:44 am

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way the wiring came out on these.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:49 am

Quick question for you Mike. Is the only difference between your silicon and germanium Tonebender the type of transistors in the pedal (and obviously the sound)? If so, if I swapped the transistors over in mine for silicon transistors would it work and would it be daisy chain friendly?

timhulio · Post by **timhulio** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 6:23 pm

Short answer? No.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:16 pm

No. It wouldn't, don't monkey with it, please.

johnnyseven · Post by **johnnyseven** » Thu Oct 07, 2010 7:26 pm

Thanks for the answer. I had a fuzz a while ago that came with both silicon and germanium transistors and you could change them so I just wondered if the same was possible with this one. You can rest assured that I do not intend to do any monkeying around with the insides whatsoever, apart from changing the battery that is.
